Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
y = -23(x + 9) + 4
y = 0
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: 0 = -23(x + 9) + 4
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4 on both sides: -4 = -23(x + 9)
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide -23 on both sides: 4/23 = x + 9
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 9 on both sides: -203/23 = x
- Rewrite: x = -203/23
Given that a<span>
local RadioShack store wants to buy a new line of plasma TVs.
Manufacturer A offers chain discounts of 18/12, and Manufacturer B
offers terms of 17/13.
Let the list price of the plasma TVs be x, then after a chain discount of 18/12 by Manufacturer A, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.18)(1 - 0.12)x = 0.82(0.88)x = 0.7216x
Also, after the discount of 17/13 by manufacturer B, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.17)(1 - 0.13)x = 0.83(0.87)x = 0.7221x
Thus, the final selling price after discount by manufacturer A is 0.7216 and the final selling price after dscount by manufacturer B is 0.7221x.
Therefore, Manufacturer A offers a </span><span>single equivalent discount rate that is the best deal.</span>
