Answer:
1. 10% of the bill is $138. The final bill once 10% is taken off is $1242.
2. 20% of the total is $34.10. The final total once the 20% is taken off is $136.4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. A crash repair bill comes to $1380.00. How much is 10% of the bill? What is the final bill once 10% is taken off?
To find how much is 10% of the bill, we multiply the bill by 0.1
0.1*1380 = 138
10% of the bill is $138.
To find the final bill, we subtract the initial bill by 10%.
1380 - 138 = 1242
The final bill once 10% is taken off is $1242.
2. A person buys a new fan belt, a new alternator, and a new water pump for their car. The total comes to $170.50. What is 20% of the total? How much is the final total once the 20% is taken off?
Same logic as above.
0.2*170.50 = 34.1
20% of the total is $34.10.
170.50 - 34.1 = 136.4
The final total once the 20% is taken off is $136.4
The equation factors as
.. (x +3)(x +4) = 0
By the zero-product rule, the roots are
.. x1 = -4
.. x2 = -3
The first thing to note is since one gallon= 60 miles then 1/2 gallon= 30 miles, now I know 1/2 is not an answer but it is easiest to decrease in moderate amounts. 1/2 gallon= 48 Km so we are close, and 1/2=0.5 so if we brought it down to 0.42 we would have 25.2 miles and 25.2 miles = 40.32. The question wants to know the approximate number and 40.32 is the closest we are going to get so the answer is 0.42
