Answer 11

First I would put 22% and 6% into a decimal. You can do this by dividing the numbers by 100.

Answer 12

@geekfromthefutur

Answer 13

well that would be 22.0 and 6.0

Answer 14

no it wouldn't be. That would be 2200% and 600%

Answer 15

Im confused

Answer 16

take 22 and divide it by 100 then take 6 and divide it by 100

Answer 17

0.22 0.6

Answer 18

you got the .22 correct not the .6 though

Answer 19

.6 is 60% of 1

Answer 20

sorry I meant 0.06

Answer 21

correct :) Now we don't know the price of the cards but that is alright because they gave us the variable which is y

Answer 22

when we multiply a number by a decimal what happens?

Answer 23

I forgot lol

Answer 24

Well try it. Multiply 100 by .22

Answer 25

it goes back to 22

Answer 26

can you hurry up I need to get this done like NOW please

Answer 27

Sorry made a mistake. But when we use sale rates, we multiply the number (in this case the variable y) by the percent thats taken off (22% or .22 as a decimal) When we get that number we subtract them together then multiply that number by sales tax (6% or .06 as a decimal) when we get this number we then subtract it into how much the item cost.

Answer 28

so whats the exact expression y x 0.22 = whatever this is x 0.06 = whatever this - y

Answer 30

I would say \[y(.22-.06)\]
or
\[y(.22)^.06\]
