1. Sammy reads the same number of pages from his book each night. The expression 228 – 12x shows how many pages he has left to read on any given night. What does the constant in the expression represent? the total number of pages Sammy has read so far the total number of pages in Sammy’s book <---- the number of pages Sammy reads each night the total number of nights Sammy has been reading

228 total pages and x would be total number of night he read. he read 12 pages per night

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would 228 be the constant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for Medal:) @CrazyCountryGirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The constant is the number that stands by itself

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i think its option c. the no: of pages sammy reads each night

That's what I thought too. :):):) Sammy reads the same number of pages from his book each night. The expression 228 – 12x shows how many pages he has left to read on any given night. What does the term 12x represent? the total number of pages Sammy has read so far <----- the total number of pages in Sammy’s book the number of pages Sammy reads each night the total number of nights Sammy has been reading

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

You need more help?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

its a. the total no of pages he had read so far , i think

OpenStudy (imstuck):

12x represents the number of pages he reads per night, with x being the number of nights left he has to read.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

so the choice for that last one is "the number of pages Sammy reads each night".

In some states, you pay a sales tax on items you purchase. A sales tax is a percent of what a customer pays for an item that costs c dollars. The expression 0.07(c – 0.05c) represents the amount of sales tax in a certain state that would be collected on an item that has been discounted by a certain percent. The expression has two factors. What does the factor c – 0.05c represent? the regular cost of the item the discounted cost of the item <--- the discount percent the amount of the discount

i think its b.

I'm not sure how to do this one.. In some states, you pay a sales tax on items you purchase. A sales tax is a percent of what a customer pays for an item that costs c dollars. The expression 0.07(c – 0.05c) represents the amount of sales tax in a certain state that would be collected on an item that has been discounted by a certain percent. The expression has two factors. What is the sales tax percent? _________ %

@mathmath333 @IM5er101 Last one. :)

@agent0smith @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

0.07(c-0.05 c)=0.07*c-0.07*0.05 c i think its 0.07*0.05C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's C?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

c= dollars as given in the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmath333 So the final answer would be.... 0.0035?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

oh yea
