I don’t understand how taxes and discounts work in math, could someone explain to me?

Answers

Answer 1

Some additional context would be helpful in providing a complete answer. But the basic idea is this:

• Object ABC has a price X set on it.

• Hey, ABC is on sale! Let's say there's a 20% discount. That means 20% of the price X is subtracted from X.

• Boo, there's a 15% sales tax! This means whatever you would pay for ABC, discount included, you will ultimately have to pay an additional 15% of, or 0.15 times, that amount in tax.

Suppose you're looking to buy a T-shirt. The price tag on says it costs $25, but there's a 20% discount and a 15% sales tax.

• The discount has a value of 0.2 ($25) = $5. Subtract this from the original price, and its discounted price is $20.

• The sales tax is applied to this discounted price, and comes out to 0.15 ($20) = $3. This gets added to the discounted price, so you end up paying $23.

The 12th term of the arithmetic sequence is 10.5. The 18th term of this sequence is 13.5. Find the common difference and the first term.

Answers

1st way:

let the n'th term be called x, and the value of the term y,

then there is a function y=a*x + b

that will give us all term we want.

this formula is also used for straight lines.

we just need a and b. we already got two data points. we can just plug the known x/y pairs into the formula

10.5 = a*12 + b

13.5 = a*18 + b

now lets manipulate these lines.

multiply the first line by 3 and the second line by 2

31.5 = a*36 + 3b

27 = a*36 + 2b

subtract the second line from the first line

4.5 = b

yey, we now know b, let's plus b into either line from above, I'll go with the first one, looks easier.

10.5 = a*12 + 4.5

6 = a*12

0.5 = a

now y=a*x + b can be filled with a and b

y = 0.5 * x + 4.5

for x=1 (the first term) it's f(1)=5

each step is 0.5, hence the common difference.

2and way:

(13.5-10.5)/(18-12)

= 3 / 6

= 0.5

we got the comment difference by looking at the full difference over 6 steps and divined by these 6 steps.

from step 12 to step one it's 11 steps down

10.5 - 0.5*11

= 10.5 - 5.5

= 5

okay I admit... 2and way to do it might be faster and more intuitive... :D

Find the measure of each angle indicated.
A) 25°
C) 35°
B) 45°
D) 40°

Answers

Answer:

here's the answer to your question

Answer:

D) 40

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question you can use the knowledge that every triangle has a total of 180 degrees. Two of the angles are known one is 50 and the other is 90. We know one is 90 because of the square around the angle. Then, you can set up an algebraic equation to solve. We know that 50+90+x=180, so solve for x for the final answer of 40.

6 g + 2 = 3 g + 13 = 11 - 3 g

 

{g = 11/3, g = 1, g = -1/3}

{3 g = 11, g = 1, 3 g + 1 = 0}

Olympia ate lunch at a restaurant. The amount of her check was $6.89. She left $8.00 on the table, which included the amount she owed plus a tip for the waiter. Which equation shows t, the amount of her tip, in dollars?
6.89 + t = 8.00
6.89 - t = 8.00
6.89t = 8.00
6.89 = 8.00 Divided by t

Answers

Answer:

not sure if the answer is obvious but I'd say $6.89 + t = $8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

so to make it more understandable you have to first go over the question and ask your self is the tip included in the totally amount owed or is it apart

after you figure out that its apart all you have to do is plug in the numbers you could verify this by checking every equation like this

$6.89 + t = $8.00 (t) in this case is the tip which would be $1.11 all you do to arrive at that answer is subtract the amout owed from the amount given like this $8.00 - $6.89 = $1.11 which will be your tip

now continue checking your answer next is , $6.89 - t = $8.00

which would be $6.89- $1.11 = $5.78 not quite right because now she is short on the pay , on to the next its $6.89t= $8.00 which would be $6.89 x $1.11= $7.65 rounded to neartest tenth which would included the amount but not all the tip given meaning tip would be short 0.35 cents and finally $6.89= $8.00 divided by t , now this takes the amount give which is $8.00 and divides by t which is $1.11 doing this $6.89 = $8.00/$1.11 which it is trying to imply that $6.89 is equal to $7.21 which would be incorrect making the only reasonable equation $6.89 + t = $8.00 reaveling that the tip given was $1.11

8. What is the solution to 4(1/2x+7)=12?

Answers

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

4(1/2x+7)=12

Divide each side by 4

4/4(1/2x+7)=12/4

(1/2x+7)=3

Subtract 7 from each side

1/2x+7-7=3-7

1/2x = -4

Multiply each side by 2

1/2x*2 = -4*2

x = -8

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide both sides by 4 which will give you 1/2x+7=3

Then multipy both sides by 2 which will then give you x+14=16

Then move the constant = x=6-14

6-14 is -8 which will give you x=-8

A box contains a yellow ball, an orange ball, a green ball, and a blue ball. Billy randomly selects 4 balls from the box (with replacement). What is the expected value for the number of distinct colored balls Billy will select?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Expected = 0.09375[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Balls = 4[/tex]

[tex]n = 4[/tex] --- selection

Required

The expected distinct colored balls

The probability of selecting one of the 4 balls is:

[tex]P = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

The probability of selecting different balls in each selection is:

[tex]Pr = (\frac{1}{4})^n[/tex]

Substitute 4 for n

[tex]Pr = (\frac{1}{4})^4[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{1}{256}[/tex]

The number of arrangement of the 4 balls is:

[tex]Arrangement = 4![/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Arrangement = 4*3*2*1[/tex]

[tex]Arrangement = 24[/tex]

The expected number of distinct color is:

[tex]Expected = Arrangement * Pr[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 24 * \frac{1}{256}[/tex]

[tex]Expected = \frac{3}{32}[/tex]

[tex]Expected = 0.09375[/tex]

Find a 2-digit number smaller than 50, the sum of whose digits does not change after being multiplied by a number greater than 1

Answers

The only 2-digit number that is lesser than 50 and the sum of its digits remain unaffected despite being multiplied by a number < 1 would be '18.'

To prove, we will look at some situations:

If we add up the two digits of 18. We get,

[tex]1 + 8 = 9[/tex]

And we multiply 18 by 2 which is greater than 1. We get,

[tex]18[/tex] × [tex]2 = 36[/tex]

The sum remains the same i.e. [tex]3 + 6 = 9[/tex]

Similarly,

If 18 is multiplied to 3(greater than 1), the sum of the two digits comprising the number still remains the same;

[tex]18[/tex] × [tex]3 = 54[/tex]

where (5 + 4 = 9)

Once more,

Even if 18 is multiplied to 4 or 5(greater than 1), the sum of its digits will still be 9.

 [tex]18[/tex] × [tex]4 = 72[/tex]

[tex](7 + 2 = 9)[/tex]

[tex]18[/tex] × [tex]5 = 90[/tex]

[tex](9 + 0 = 9)[/tex]

Thus, 18 is the answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we find the probability of getting 1 yellow marble (the formula is the number of amount of type over the total number of items), which is:

10/(6+10+5+1)

= 10/22

= 5/11.

So getting a yellow marble on the first try is 5/11 likeliness.

Now, for the second one, we do the same except that you are NOT putting it back into the bag, which means we have to subtract the yellow marble you already took AND ALSO ONE FROM THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF YELLOW MARBLES.

To find the probability of getting the second marble, our equation is:

9/(6+9+5+1)

= 9/21

= 3/7.

Lastly, to find the probability of getting them both consecutively, we multiply the two results.

5/11 * 3/7

= 15/77

≈ 0.19
