The answer would have to be D
Answer: $200
Explanation:
The employee pays $172.50 and he got 25% employee discount.
If the cost is $100, he pays $(100 - 25) = $75.
So, employee pays =
100
75
⋅
172.50
= $230.00.
Again, price was increased by 15% last year. So whose cost is $100
is sold by $(100+15) = $115.
When sell price is $115, then cost price is $100. Then,
when sell price is $230, then cost price is
100
115
⋅
230
= $200.
The described picture frame can be visualized into two separate parts. The first area is equal to the area using the outermost dimensions for the length and width.
Area = Length x Height
Area = (20 in) x (14 in)
Area = 280 in²
We are given that the area is only equal to 192 in². We subtract this value from the computed area.
Difference = 280 in² - 192 in²
difference = 88 in²
This area is equal to the area of the hollow space inside the frame. That is equal to,
height = 20 in - 2x
length = 14 in - 2x
The area,
88 = (20 - 2x)(14 - 2x)
Simplify the right hand side of the equation.
88 = 280 - 68x + 4x²
Divide the equation by 4,
22 = 70 - 17x + x²
Transposing,
x² - 17x - 48 = 0
The factors of the equation is 58.2.
Thus, the thickenss is equal to 58.2 in
Option b is the better deal
Answer: $18.19
Step-by-step explanation:
The tax is applied after the discount so first find the discounted price:
= Price * ( 1 - discount rate)
= 20 * ( 1 - 15%)
= $17
The sales tax of 7% can then be applied:
= Price * ( 1 + tax rate)
= 17 * ( 1 + 7%)
= $18.19
