The price for the jacket is $96. The discount is 31.25%. The sales tax is 9.875%. The expression that represents this situation is Where represents the final price. The first term expresses the initial price. The second term is about the discount which has to be negative. The final term is about the sales tax which must be added to have the total price.

P = 96 - 30 + 9.48

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the jacket is $96.

The discount is 31.25% and

The sales tax is 9.875%

To find the price paid, we subtract the discount from the original price and add the sales tax. This will be:

P=96 - (31.25% × 96)+(9.875% × 96)

P = 96 - 0.3125(96) + 0.09875(96)

P = 96 - 30 + 9.48

P = 75.48

Where,

P stands for the final price.

The first term (96) shows the initial price.

The second term (-30) is about the discount which has to be negative.

The final term (+9.48) is about the sales tax which must be added to have the total price.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
