A manufacturer of screened sweatshirts includes a shipping charge of $5.99 on all online orders. Customers also pay 2.5% tax on
ankoles [38]

Answer:

t = 1.025c + 5.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall : general for of a linear equation is given by :

y = mx + c

Given the following :

Item cost = c

Shipping charge = $5.99

Tax on purchases = 2.5%

Total cost, t

t = c + tax + shipping cost

Tax on purchase : 2.5% * item cost ; 0.025c

Shipping = $5.99

Hence,

Total cost, t = c + 0.025c + 5.99

t = 1.025c + 5.99

The difference between two numbers is 15. If 8 is added to twice the greater number, the result is 4 less than 3 times the lesse
yuradex [85]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the greater number and y be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

x-y=15

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

2x+8 = 3y-4 \iff 2x-3y = -12

So, we have the follwing system:

\begin{cases} x-y=15\\2x-3y = -12\end{cases}

From the first equation, we can derive x = y+15, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

2(y+15)-3y = -12 \iff 2y + 30 -3y = -12 \iff -y = -42 \iff y = 42

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

x-42=15 \iff x=15+42 \iff x = 57

Western Athletic Club International (WACI) owns and operates a chain of fitness clubs. Currently WACI has 675 members at its Col
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the actual number of members last year.

current members = 675 and with an increment of 13% over previous year

to find the increment

(675 - x) / x = 0.13

675 - x = 0.13x

collect the like terms

675 = 0.13x + x

675 = 1.13 x

x = approx 597 members were there last year

its hope to increase by the same number next year

percent increase = 675 - 597 / 675 = 78 / 675 = 0.12 = 12%
