Answer:
Approximately $14.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of the groceries be represented by c, then;
cost price + VAT = c + (5% of c)
To get the value of the cost, c, that would make him spend as close to $15. Since the tax is 5% of the cost price, then the cost price would be close to $15.
Let c = $14.20, then;
So that,
c + (5% of c) = 14.20 + (5% of 14.20)
= 14.20 + 0.71
= $14.91
Thus, the greatest total cost of groceries Darla can spend in order to spend as close to $15 as possible is approximately $14.20.
Answer:
18=6b, b=3
Because Mary has 6 times as much as Carlos does, we put the x with 6. 18 is the number that 6x equals. 6*3=18
Answer:
Alana is 13 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you meant Mazo = Maisel,
You start from the bottom:
Amelia is 10 years younger than 17-year-old Maisel.
Amelia is 7 years old. (17-10)
Ernie is 2 years older than 7-year-old Amelia.
Ernie is 9. (2+7)
Alana is 4 years older than 9-year-old Ernie.
Alana is 13 years old. (4+9)
Hope this helps!

<h3>
Answer: 5 - 4i (choice A)</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
x = the other number
(5+4i)*x = 41
x = 41/(5+4i)
x = 41*(5-4i)/( (5+4i)*(5-4i) ) ..... see note below
x = 41*(5-4i)/( 41 )
x = (41/41)*(5-4i)
x = 5 - 4i
As a way to check, (5+4i)*(5-4i) = 5^2+4^2 = 25+16 = 41
The rule used is (a-bi)(a+bi) = a^2 + b^2
-----------
Note: I multiplied top and bottom by (5-4i) to get rid of the imaginary term in the denominator.
