25% off means that they are paying 75% of the original price. Multiply d by 75%:
0.75d
Now you need to multiply the price by 1 plus the sales tax to get the total cost:
0.75d x 1.08
Simplify by multiplying 0.75 by 1.08 to get:
0.81d
Answer:
B. The original purchase total must be at most to $44 before the discounts are applied.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality by adding $10, then dividing by 0.8.
0.8x -$10 ≤ $25.20
0.8x ≤ $35.20 . . . . . . . . add $10
x ≤ $35.20/0.8 . . . . . . . divide by 0.8
x ≤ $44 . . . . . . . . . the before-discount purchase must be at most $44
