Answer:
A) The expression that shows the regular price minus the discount is r - 6
B) The function is p(r) = 1.05r - 6.3
C) You would pay $14.7 during Bargain Days
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The regular price is r
∵ The discount on it is 6%
∴ The price after the discount = r - 6
A) The expression that shows the regular price minus the discount is
r - 6
∵ The state sales tax is 5% applied after the discount
∴ The sales tax = 5%(r - 6)
→ Change 5% to decimal y dividing it by 100
∵ 5% = [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex] = 0.05
∴ The sales tax = 0.05(r - 6) = 0.05(r) - 0.05(6)
∴ The sales tax = 0.05r - 0.3
∵ p is the price of the T-shirt with discount and sales tax
→ Add the sales tax to the regular price minus the discount
∴ p(r) = r - 6 + 0.05r - 0.3
→ Add the like terms
∴ p(r) = (r + 0.05r) + (-6 - 0.3)
∴ p(r) = 1.05r + (-6.3)
∴ p(r) = 1.05r - 6.3
B) The function is p(r) = 1.05r - 6.3
∵ The regular price of a shirt is $20
→ Substitute r by 20 in the function above to find how much you would
pay during the Bargain Days
∴ p(20) = 1.05(20) - 6.3
∴ p(20) = 21 - 6.3
∴ p(20) = $14.7
C) You would pay $14.7 during Bargain Days
