Question

A store offers a 15% discount on all items in the store during a sale. All store employees get an additional 10% employee discount. In the equation below, C represents the cost of an item for an employee including tax, and x represents the original price of the item.

C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)

Can yall show me how to do this one? Evan is making a table that will be created in the shape of the figure below. The table top is a triangle attached to a rectangle. To purchase the right amount of paint, he needs to know the area of the table top. He can only spend $10 on paint, which is enough to cover 150 ft2 of surface area. What is the maximum length of the base of the rectangle he can build?

An image of a compound shape made up of a rectangle and a triangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled x and the width is labeled 6 feet. The base of the triangle is labeled 4 feet and the height is labeled 6 feet.

Answer 23

The sum of three consecutive integers is 267. What is the largest integer?

Answer 24

Let the integers be x + (x+1) + (x + 2)

x + (x+1) + (x + 2) = 267

3x + 3 = 267
3x = 264
x = 88

88+89+90=267

Largest integer=90

Another method

267/3 = 89

It's the average,so it has to be the middle one.

Thus 89, then I took 89 - 1 = 88 and 89 + 1 = 90 and just put them in order.

88+89+90=267

Largest integer=90

Answer 34

As the number of pages in a photo book increases, the price of the book also increases. There is an additional shipping charge of 15%. The price of a book can be modeled by the equation below where, P = the price of the book, 20 is the printing charge, 0.5 is the charge per page, and x = the number of pages.

P = (20 + 0.5x) + 0.15(20 + 0.5x)
