Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 15% is calculated on the cost before tax, $x.

So x + 0.15x = 270.25

1.15x = 270.25

x = 270.25/1.15

= $235.

So 270.25 - 235

= $35.25 was sales tax.

Does anyone know the answer to this question. I already tried A and C.

Archy [21]

I think the answer would have to be D. If the diameter, which is the distance from one point on the circle through the center to another point on the circle, is halved then the amount of concrete that will be needed will be multiplied by 4. I think that's right I am so sorry in advance if that was incorrect. Have a beautiful rest of your day. Stay safe. C O V I D - 1 9 IS REAL THIS COULD MEAN YOUR LIFE!!!

Taryn is shopping for a Christmas tree. At Home Depot the one she likes is $149.00 and she has a 15% off coupon. At Lowe's the o

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At home depot

Price of Christmas tree = $149.00

Discount = 15%

Amount discounted = 15% of $149

Amount discounted = 15/100 * $149

Amount discounted = 15 * 1.49

Amount discounted = $22.35

Amount she paid = $149-$22.35

Amount she paid = $126.65

At Lowe's:

Price of Christmas tree = $175.00

Discount = 260%

Amount discounted = 20% of $175

Amount discounted = 20/100 * $175

Amount discounted = 0.2 * 175

Amount discounted = $35

Amount she paid = $175-$35

Amount she paid at Lowe's = $140

From the prices above, it can be seen that Home Depot has a better deal since the price after removing discount is lower than that of Lowe's.

Amount she will save will be $140 - $126.65 = $13.35
