C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
Find area of square: 7^2 = 49
Find radius of circle: 7/2=3.5
find area of circle: 3.5^2*3.14=38.465
Remove area of circle from area of square:
49-38.465=10.535 cm^2
Answer A is the correct one :)
A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles
b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4
c. a + j = 28
a = j + 4
d. (j + 4) + j = 28
2j + 4 = 28
2j = 28 - 4
2j = 24
j = 24/2
j = 12
a = j + 4
a = 12 + 4
a = 16
e. check..
a + j = 28
16 + 12 = 28
28 = 28 (correct)
solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
james' miles (j) = 12
Answer:
0 Jasmine did not insert her decimal point correctly after multiplying the actual amount
0 Jasmine’s estimate and actual product don’t match closely enough.
