While Anne was visiting her sister in Hillsdale, she bought a coat that was marked down 60% from an original price of $100. If the sales tax in Hillsdale is 5%, what was the total cost of the coat?

$38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Discount = 60% of original price

Price of the Coat = $100

Sales tax = 5%

Solution:

Price of the the cost after a discount of 60%

= $100 * 0.6

= $60

Sales tax 5%

= $40 * 0.05

= $2

Total cost of coat

= $100 - $60 - $2

= $38

Total cost of the coat is $38

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
