50 points! A $60 sweater is marked "8 % off." If there is a sales tax of 7%, will the actual amount paid for the sweater be greater, less than, or equal to $60? Explain your answer and show all work.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 60*0.08   Multiply the price of the sweater by 0.08, or 8%
4.8         solution
60-4.8   Subtract discount from original price
55.2       solution
7/100=a/55.2  construct formula to find sales tax
a=3.864  solution
55.2+3.864  add solution to discounted price
59.064   solution
$59.06   round down to 59.06


It will be less than 60 dollars because, according to the work shown, 59.06<60.

Answer 2
Answer:
60 x 8% = 4.8 4.8 discount
 60 - 4.8 = $55.2 pricewith discount
  55.2 x 7% = 3.86 tax
 55.2 + 3.86 = $59.06 so it would be less than $60.00.

Answers

first multiple 3.5 with w which is 6.8, then collect 7.8 with the result (23.8) and finally substrack 1.5.
to make it easier after multiple write the numbers on end.
This question is so easy.
7.8+(3.5x6.8)-1.5
=7.8+23.8-1.5

Decompose 8/10 in 2 ways

Answers

The decomposition of the fraction A = 8/10 is solved and

a) A = 2/5 + 2/5

b) B = 5/10 + 3/10

What is decomposition of fraction?

A fraction can be expressed as the product of a whole number and a unit fraction. Decomposition of fraction means break down a fraction into smaller parts. The denominator which is the bottom number gives the total number of pieces

Given data ,

To decompose 8/10 in two ways, we need to find two pairs of fractions that add up to 8/10

First way:

We can write 8/10 as 4/5, and then decompose 4/5 into two fractions with a common denominator. One way to do this is to split 4/5 into two equal fractions:

8/10 = 4/5 = 2/5 + 2/5

Another way to decompose 8/10 is to split it into a sum of a whole number and a fraction that is less than 1. We can write 8/10 as 0.8, and then decompose it into 0.5 and 0.3:

8/10 = 0.8 = 0.5 + 0.3

Second way:

We can also decompose 8/10 in a different way. We can write 8/10 as the sum of two fractions with a common denominator, where one of the fractions is a unit fraction (a fraction with a numerator of 1):

B = 5/10 + 3/10

Hence , the decomposition of the fraction A = 8/10 is solved

In a machine, a large gear completes a revolution every minute while a small gear completes a revolution every 24 seconds. If the gears are currently aligned, how much time will pass before they are aligned again?

Answers

This question is asking you for the least common multiple of 60 (seconds in 1 minute) and 24 (seconds in 24 seconds).
I think it's 120 (you should check it) and that would be 3 minutes.
