Answer:

  • Marty is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's check his work by simplifying the given expression.</u>

  • 2(x - 2) - 2(3)
  • => 2x - 4 - 6
  • => 2x - 10

When I compare Marty's result and this result, they are un-equal. Hence, Marty is incorrect.

<u>Marty's mistake</u>

  • Marty must've got the problem wrong because of not understanding the distributive property.
  • He probably forgot to multiply -2 by 2. Instead, he only subtracted 2 when he should've subtracted 4 from 2x.

89.75 scooter:7 1/4% tax
eduard
The question is find the total cost when the price is $89.75 and the tax is 7 1/4%

Total cost = price + tax

Tax  = 7  1/4 % of price

Tax rate = [7 + 1/4] = 7.25 %

Tax = 7.25 % * price = 7.25 % * $89.75 = $[7.25/100] * 89.75 = $6.51

Total cost = $89.75 + $ 6.51 = $96.26
