Answer:

The total amount the customer spends on the discounted book is $30.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the details provided

A different book with an original price of $38 was purchased by a customer.

The book received a discount of 25%.

The decimal form of 25%

=\frac{25}{100}

= 0.25

Calculating the discount amount: 0.25 imes Price of the book

                            = 0.25 imes 38

                            = $9.50

Price after applying the 25% discount = Original price - Discount amount

                                                                                = $38 - $9.50

                                                                                = $28.50

As indicated

The customer has to pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted book's price.

6% in decimal form

= \frac{6}{100}

= 0.06

Calculating the sales tax: 0.06 imes Cost after discount.

                             = 0.06 imes 28.50

                             = $1.71

Therefore

The total amount the customer pays for the book = Sales tax + Cost after discount.

                                                                                   = $1.71 + $28.50

                                                                                   = $30.21

Thus, the total payment made by the customer for the discounted book is $30.21.

$38.00 imes 0.25 = $9.50
$38.00 - $9.50 = $28.75
$28.75 imes 0.06 = $1.725
$28.75 + $1.73 = $30.48

NEED HELP ON NUMBER 13 AND 14
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

Question 13: For age groups y=1 and y=1.3, the response time is 8 microseconds.

Question 14: The club experienced losses between 11.28 and 4.88 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 13:

The equation that gives the response rate R of 8 microseconds can be expressed as

8=y^4 +2y^3 - 4y^2 -5y +14.

Upon graphing this, we determine the solutions to be

y=1;   y=1.302;     y=-2;    y=-2.302.

We consider only positive values of y applicable in real-life scenarios.

Thus, the response is 8 microseconds solely for the age groups y=1 and y=1.3.

Question 14:

The football club incurs losses when p(t)

Or

t^3 -14t^2 +20t +120

Graphing this inequality reveals the solutions to be

t and 4.88

As only positive values for t are relevant in practical situations, we accept the second solution.

Hence, the club faced losses during the years 4.88

Find the value of $x$ that maximizes $$f(x) = \log (-20x + 12\sqrt{x}).$$ If there is no maximum value, write "NONE".
zzz [9080]
The function can be expressed as:
f(x) = log(-20x + 12√x)
To ascertain the maximum value, differentiate the equation with respect to x and set the derivative to zero. The procedure unfolds as follows.

The differentiation formula is:
d(log u)/dx = du/u ln(10)
Thus,
d/dx = (-20 + 6/√x)/(-20x + 12√x)(ln 10) = 0
-20 + 6/√x = 0
6/√x = 20
From which we derive x = (6/20)² = 9/100

Therefore,
f(x) = log(-20(9/100)+ 12√(9/100)) = 0.2553

The function's maximum value is 0.2553.

Josiah works at an electronics store as a salesperson. Josiah earns a 2% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sale
tester [8842]

Response: the equations are

0.02x + 0.07y = 156

y = 300 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the dollar amount from phone sales made by Josiah.

Let y indicate the dollar amount from his computer sales.

Josiah receives a 2% commission on his phone sales total and 7% on his computer sales. He accumulated a total of $156 in commission, leading to the equation

0.02x + 0.07y = 156 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Furthermore, it’s given that Josiah had $300 more in computer sales than in phone sales, expressed as

y = 300 + x
