Answer 1

I have two essays and this exam im sooooo mad I hate these essays

Answer 2

(y*(100% - 12%))*(100%+3%)

Simplified

y*(1-.12)*(1+.03)
(0.88y)(1.03)
0.9064y

Answer 3

I don't get it can u explain?

Answer 4

Anyone there?

Answer 5

If the item is 12% off then you are paying for 88% of the item or 0.88.
When you pay tax you pay for 100% of the item plus the tax rate. In this example that rate is 3%. So you play 103% or 1.03 in decimal form.

Answer 6

So you multiply the price of the item y by 0.88 and 1.03

The expression is

(0.88)(1.03)(y)
