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.
Given
Height (length) of the anchor dropped from the boat = 75 feet
Distance of the treasure from the anchor = 40 feet
Solution
The dropped at the bottom makes an angle of 90 degree . Therefore making an right triangle with the chest and boat
By Pythagoras theorem
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
(AC = distance of the treasure from the boat
AB = height of the anchor dropped from the boat
BC = the distance of treasure from the anchor)
AC^2 = 75^2 + 40^2
AC^2 = 5325 +1600
AC^2 = 6925
AC = 25 * (under root 11)
Therefore they have cover a distance of 25 * (under root 11)
Answer: 130
Step-by-step explanation: multiply 4 and 28 first because of PEMDAS. After you get 112, add 18 and you get 130.
