You can use the fact that both 20% and 15% discounts will be merged to reduce 35% of the price of the book that Jamie buys.

By buying the book on sale and using the coupon, Jamie will save

Option B: $11.55

<h3>
How are discounts calculated for the case when its sale and we've got discount coupons too?</h3>

Suppose the sale gives p% off.

And the discount coupon provides q% off.

Then we have total discount applied on the cost of the object bought as

(p+q)%

<h3>How to find the percentage from the total value?</h3>

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

\dfrac{a}{100} \times b

<h3>Using the above fact to calculate the amount that Jamie saved </h3>

Since the sale offers 20% discount and Jamie has got 15% discount coupon for any fiction book, thus, total 35% will be discounted if Jamie buys fiction book.

Since the price of the fiction book that Jamie brought is $32.99, thus,

Saved amount = 35% of $32.99 = \dfrac{32.99}{100} \times 35 = 0.3299 \times 35 \approx \$11.55

Thus,

By buying the book on sale and using the coupon, Jamie will save

Option B: $11.55

Correct answer only plz thank you!
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

GI is made up of the segments GH and HI. In other words:

GI=GH+HI

We know that GH is 2 and GI is 7. Substitute:

7=2+HI

Subtract 2 from both sides:

HI=5

So, our answer is B.

And we're done!

The cost y (in dollars) to rent a camping tent is proportional to the number x of days that the tent is rented. It costs $56 to
sleet_krkn [62]
This is the concept of algebra, we solve the question as follows:
The cost of renting a camping tent is y
The number of days is x
cost is proportional to number of days, thus:
yαx
y=kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
If y=$56 when x=7 days, then:
56=7k
hence:
k=56/7=8
therefore:
y=kx will be:
y=8x
the equation in slope intercept form which is y=mx+c is y=8x. In our case c=0 because there was no initial payments required to rent apart from the daily charges.
