A video game is on sale at Amazon for 30% off the original price of $28.50. Both Pat and Henri want to purchase the game, but they only have $22 each. They each have to pay 10% sales tax. Pat and Henri have different strategies to calculate the price and decide if they have enough money to get the game. Pat takes 30% of $28.50 and subtracts that from the original price. She takes 10% of the sale price and adds it to the sale price to find the total amount she would have to pay. Henri finds 70% of the original price and then calculates 110% of the sale price. Will Pat's strategy calculate the correct total? Explain the calculations. Will Henri's strategy calculate the correct total? Explain the calculations. Do they each have enough to purchase the game?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Step one:

The original price of the video game= $28.5

Cash at hand= $22

Discount= 30%

Tax= 10%

1. Pat's strategy

Amount discounted

=30/100*28.5

=0.3*28.5

=$8.55

28.5-8.55

=$19.95

Amount of tax added

=10/100*28.5

=0.01*28.5

=2.85

=17.15+2.85

=$22.8

Hence going by Pat's strategy, the total amount to be paid is

=$22.8

2. Henri's strategy

=70/100*28.5

=0.70*28.5

=$19.95

110% of $28.5

=110/100*28.5

=1.1*28.5

=$31.35

the tax is

31.35-28.5

=$2.85

i. Hence by Henri's strategy, the sales price with tax is

=19.95+2.85

=$22.8

ii. Yes Pat's strategy will compute the correct total,

   30% of $28.5 is $8.55 which is the amount to be deducted as a discount

   10% of $28.5 is $2.85 which is the amount to be added as tax

    Hence the total amount to be paid is $22.8

iii  Yes Henri's strategy also gave the correct total

  70% of 28.5 is $19.95

  110% of 28.5 of tax is the same as adding 10% of 28.5 to 28.5

   = 31.35, substracting the original price we got the tax added

    which is $2.85

iv. No, they both don't have enough money to purchase the video game,

  because they only have $22and the game is to be sold for $22.8

Rachel has $5 in her savings account.

PART B:
Rachel wants to have at least $700 in her account at the end of 8 weeks to go on a class trip. Determine which option will enable her to reach her goal. Justify your answer

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there! this problem will requite us to write 2 equations for both situations described.

firstly, the first equation will look something like this:

[tex]y=35x+5[/tex]

and the second equation will look like this:

y=5(1+100%)^x

If Rachel wants to save up 700 dollars in 8 weeks we can easily solve for which one will get her there by plugging in 700 for y and solving for x.

Solving for x in:

[tex]700=35x+5[/tex]

we find that this option will take a little over 19 weeks

Solving for x in:

700=5(1+100%)^x

we find that this option will take roughly 7.15 weeks

Add 10y to both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

C) Add 10y to both sides of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get x by itself.

So to make the 10y go to the other side, we add 10y to cancel it on the left, but move it to the right.

You are a landscaper, and you are designing a fence to enclose part of a yard. The section to be enclosed is rectangular and has a width of 21 feet and a length of 38 feet. What length of fence, in feet, will you need to enclose this part of the yard? 59 60 118 120 798

Answers

Answer:

If you draw this out, you can see that total fence equation will be:

2L + 4W = 1200

Simplify, divide by 2

L + 2W = 600

L = (600-2W)

:

Area;

A = L*W

Substitute (600-2W) for L:

A = (600-2W)*W

A = -2W^2 + 600W; a quadratic equation

 

:

The dimension that will produce the greatest area will be the "axis of symmetry

which is: x = %28-b%29%2F%282a%29

:

In this equation a=-2, b=600

W = %28-600%29%2F%282%2A-2%29

W = %28-600%29%2F%28-4%29

W = +150 ft is the width

:

Find the length

L = 600 - 2(150)

L = 300 ft is the length

:

We can say the a field 300 by 150 gives he greatest area

:

For the first half of the 20th century, poliomyelitis, also known as infantile paralysis, was one of the most dreaded diseases to attack young people. By 1955 American physician and researcher Jonas Salk had developed a vaccine that almost eradicated the disease in the United States and other developed countries.Jonas Edward Salk was born in New York City on October 28, 1914. He graduated from the City College of New York in 1934 and earned his doctorate in medicine from New York University's College of Medicine in 1939. While in medical school he had worked with Thomas Francis Jr. on killed-virus immunology studies. In 1942 he joined a group at the University of Michigan working on a vaccine against influenza. The vaccine was perfected in 1953.In 1947 Salk became associate professor of bacteriology and head of the Virus Research Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. There he began working on the polio vaccine. Three viruses caused polio, and a vaccine had to be effective against all of them. By 1952 Salk had developed such a vaccine and conducted field tests on children. His findings were published in 1953, and a mass field test was done the next year.On April 12, 1955, the vaccine was released for use in the United States. In 1957 Salk was named professor of experimental medicine at Pittsburgh, and in 1963 he went to San Diego as head of the Institute (later named the Salk Institute) for Biological Studies. In 1977 Salk was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He died on June 23, 1995, in La Jolla, California.Answer the following question based on the Compton's Encyclopedia reading:Which choice best describes the biggest impact of Jonas Salk's work with poliomyelitis?A.Jonas Salk became a professor of medicine and the head of the Institute for Biological Studies.B.Jonas Salk was celebrated for his work and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.C.Jonas Salk created a vaccine that has nearly eliminated the disease in the United States and many other developed countries.D.Jonas Salk tested his vaccine on a large group of children and published his findings the following year.
