If the length is x+5, the width would be x(x+5)=36
First of all, 2400=0.6x is the equation
Now, we use cross multiplication
2400/1 = 3/5x
2400*5 = 3x
12,000 = 3x
12000/3= 4000
<u>The total fundraiser goal is $4,000.</u>
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
He paid the correct amount.
Explanation:
First we find the subtotal of Manny's items:
32.65+3(14.89)+39.99 = 32.65+44.67+39.99 = 117.31
Next, we calculate the discount. If he gets 10% off, this means he pays 100%-10% = 90% of the total. 90% = 90/100 = 0.9:
0.9(117.31) = 105.579
Next we calculate the tax. Since tax is 8%, this means he pays 100% of his subtotal after discount plus the 8% tax; 100%+8% = 108%; 108% = 108/100 = 1.08:
1.08(105.579) = 114.02532 ≈ 114.03
Since this is what he paid, he paid the correct amount.
