Given:
Expression is

To prove:
If r is any rational number, then
is rational.
Step-by-step explanation:
Property 1: Every integer is a rational number. It is Theorem 4.3.1.
Property 2: The sum of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Theorem 4.3.2.
Property 3: The product of any two rational numbers is rational. It is Exercise 15 in Section 4.3.
Let r be any rational number.
We have,

It can be written as

Now,
3, -2 and 4 are rational numbers by property 1.
is rational by Property 3.
are rational by Property 3.
is rational by property 2.
So,
is rational.
Hence proved.
If the store decreases its prices by 20%, then ur actually paying 80%
0.80(120) <=== ur expression
lets check..
0.80(120) = 96
120 - 0.2(120) = 120 - 24 = 96 (yep, it matches)
Answer: $18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Pretax price of the meal.
Given: Sales tax = 8%
Tip percent = 20%
As per given ,
Amount spent = ( Pretax price) + (Sales tax ) of (Pretax price) + (Tip percent)of (Pretax price)
= x+ 8% of x + 20% of x
= x +0.08+0.20x
= 1.28x
∵ Amount spent = $23.04
So,

Hence, the pretax price of the meal= $18.
Formula for the area of a circle is Pi*radius squared
So, we do Pi*2^2 which is 12.57
