3 cases of fresh apples that cost $21.95 per case with 20% off and a 7.5% sales tax3 cases of fresh apples that cost $21.95 per case with 20% off and a 7.5% sales tax
Figure out the total cost before the discount:
Total Cost before discount = Cases * Price per case
Total Cost before discount = 3 cases * $21.95 per case
Total Cost before discount = $65.85
Now, find the discounted value of the apples:
Discounted Apple Price = Total Cost before discount * (1 - discount percent)
Discounted ApplesPrice = $65.85 * (1 - 0.2) <-- 20% is the same as 0.2
Discounted ApplesPrice = $65.85 * 0.8
Discounted ApplesPrice = $52.68
Now, apply the sales tax to this discounted value to get the total bill:
Total Bill = Discounted Apple Price * (1 + tax rate)
Total Bill = $52.68 * (1 + .075) <-- 7.5% = 0.075
Total Bill = $52.68 * 1.075
Total Bill = [B]$56.63[/B]

Let C represent households with children. Let P represents households with pets. We have the formula to determine households with Children or Pets as C U P (C Union P) or (C or P):
C U P = C + P - (C and P)
C U P = 52% + 25% - 12%
C U P = 65%
Now, if we want to find what percent have neither, we use (C U P)':

A coat normally costs $100. First, there was a 20% discount. Then, later, it was marked down 30% offA coat normally costs $100. First, there was a 20% discount. Then, later, it was marked down 30% off of the discounted priced. How much does the coat cost now?
Calculate discounted price:
Discounted Price = Full Price * (1 - Discount Percentage)
Discounted Price = 100 * (1 - 0.20) <-- Since 20% = 0.2
Discounted Price = 100 * (0.80)
Discounted Price = 80
Now calculate marked down price off the discount price:
Markdown Price = Discount Price * (1 - Markdown Percentage)
Markdown Price = 80 * (1 - 0.30) <-- Since 30% = 0.3
Markdown Price = 80 * (0.70)
Markdown Price = [B]56[/B]

A number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed. The number cube and the coin are fair. What is the proA number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed. The number cube and the coin are fair. What is the probability that the number rolled is greater than 3 and the coin toss is heads? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form
Let's review the vitals of this question:
[LIST]
[*]The probability of heads on a fair coin is 1/2.
[*]On a fair die, greater than 3 means either 4, 5, or 6. Any die roll face is a 1/6 probability.
[*]So we have a combination of outcomes below:
[/LIST]
Outcomes
[LIST=1]
[*]Heads and 4
[*]Heads and 5
[*]Heads and 6
[/LIST]
For each of the outcomes, we assign a probability. Since the coin flip and die roll are independent, we multiply the probabilities:
[LIST=1]
[*]P(Heads and 4) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[*]P(Heads and 5) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[*]P(Heads and 6) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[/LIST]
Since we want any of those events, we add all three probabilities
1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 = 3/12

A town has a population of 50,000. Its rate increases 8% every 6 months. Find the population after 4A town has a population of 50,000. Its rate increases 8% every 6 months. Find the population after 4 years.
Every 6 months means twice a year. So we have 4 years * twice a year increase = 8 compounding periods.
Our formula for compounding an initial population P at time t is P(t) at a compounding percentage i:
P(t) = P * (1 + i)^t
Since 8% is 0.08 as a decimal and t = 4 *2 = 8, we have:
P(8) = 50000 * (1.08)^8
P(8) = 50000 * 1.85093
P(8) = 92,546.51
Since we can't have a partial person, we round down to [B]92,545[/B]

Jonathan earns a base salary of $1500 plus 10% of his sales each month. Raymond earns $1200 plus 15%Jonathan earns a base salary of $1500 plus 10% of his sales each month. Raymond earns $1200 plus 15% of his sales each month. How much will Jonathan and Raymond have to sell in order to earn the same amount each month?
[U]Step 1: Set up Jonathan's sales equation S(m) where m is the amount of sales made each month:[/U]
S(m) = Commission percentage * m + Base Salary
10% written as a decimal is 0.1. We want decimals to solve equations easier.
S(m) = 0.1m + 1500
[U]Step 2: Set up Raymond's sales equation S(m) where m is the amount of sales made each month:[/U]
S(m) = Commission percentage * m + Base Salary
15% written as a decimal is 0.15. We want decimals to solve equations easier.
S(m) = 0.15m + 1200
[U]The question asks what is m when both S(m)'s equal each other[/U]:
The phrase [I]earn the same amount [/I]means we set Jonathan's and Raymond's sales equations equal to each other
0.1m + 1500 = 0.15m + 1200
We want to isolate m terms on one side of the equation.
Subtract 1200 from each side:
0.1m + 1500 - 1200 = 0.15m + 1200 - 1200
Cancel the 1200's on the right side and we get:
0.1m - 300 = 0.15m
Next, we subtract 0.1m from each side of the equation to isolate m
0.1m - 0.1m + 300 = 0.15m - 0.1m
Cancel the 0.1m terms on the left side and we get:
300 = 0.05m
Flip the statement since it's an equal sign to get the variable on the left side:
0.05m = 300
To solve for m, we divide each side of the equation by 0.05:
0.05m/0.05 = 300/0.05
Cancelling the 0.05 on the left side, we get:
m = [B]6000[/B]

Rose weighs 140 pounds and gains 10%. What percent of her new weight must she lose to get back to 14Rose weighs 140 pounds and gains 10%. What percent of her new weight must she lose to get back to 140 pounds?
Find her new weight after the 10% gain:
New Weight = Starting Weight * (1 + 10%)
Since 10% is 0.1, we have:
New Weight = Starting Weight * (1 + 0.1)
New Weight = Starting Weight * (1.1)
Plug in our numbers:
New Weight = 140 * (1.1)
New Weight = 154
To get back to 140, Rose must lose 154 - 140 = 14 pounds.
As a percentage of her new weight, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/perc.php?num=14&den=154&pcheck=1&num1=16&pct1=80&pct2=70&den1=80&idpct1=10&hltype=1&idpct2=90&pct=82&decimal=+65.236&astart=12&aend=20&wp1=20&wp2=30&pl=Calculate']we type 14/154 into our search engine[/URL], and get:

There are 5 orange books, 12 black books, and 8 tan books on Mr. Johnsons bookshelf. Calculate the pThere are 5 orange books, 12 black books, and 8 tan books on Mr. Johnsons bookshelf. Calculate the probability of randomly selecting a black book and then a tan book without replacement. Write your answer as a percent.
P(black book first draw)
P(black book first draw) = 12 black / (5 orange + 12 black + 8 tan)
P(black book first draw) = 12 / 25
P(tan book second draw)
P(tan book second draw) = 8 tan / (5 orange + 11 black + 8 tan) <-- 11 black because we already drew one black
P(tan book second draw) = 8 / 24
Using our fraction reduction calculator, this simplifies to 1/3
Since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities:
P(black book first draw, tan book second draw) = 12/25 * 1/3
P(black book first draw, tan book second draw) = 12/75
P(black book first draw, tan book second draw) = [B]16%[/B]
There is a sales tax of $5 on an item that costs $51 before tax. A second item costs $173.40 beforeThere is a sales tax of $5 on an item that costs $51 before tax. A second item costs $173.40 before tax. What is the sales tax on the second item?
Calculate the sales tax percent using the first item:
Sales Tax Decimal = 100% * Sales Tax / Pre-Tax Bill
Sales Tax Decimal = 100% * 5/51
Sales Tax Decimal = 0.098
Calculate the sales tax on the second item:
Sales Tax = Pre-Tax bill * (1 + Sales Tax)
Sales Tax = $173.40 (1 + 0.098)
Sales Taax = $173.40 * 1.098
Sales Tax = [B]$190.39[/B]

You go to your favorite restaurant. The bill for the food is $74.26. The tax on the bill will be 9%.You go to your favorite restaurant. The bill for the food is $74.26. The tax on the bill will be 9%. You are planning on giving a tip on that total amount (bill and tax together) of 20%. What is your final bill, all taxes and tips included?
[U]Calculate the after tax amount:[/U]
After tax amount = Bill * (1 + Tax Rate)
Since 9% = 0.09, we have:
After tax amount = 74.26 * (1 + 0.09)
After tax amount = 74.26 * 1.09
After tax amount = 80.94
[U]Calculate the Tip amount:[/U]
Tip amount = After tax amount * tip percent
Since 20% = 0.2, we have:
Tip amount = 80.94 * 0.20
Tip amount = 16.19
[U]Calculate the final bill:[/U]
Final Bill = After Tax Amount + Tip Amount
Final Bill = 80.94 + 16.19
Final Bill = [B]97.13[/B]
