Nicky and Marta Nicky thinks that you can get two different answers when finding the tax on
multiple items.
First: Find the cost of each item with the tax. Then add to find the total
price. For exam
($9 + tax) + ($7 + tax) + ($4 + tax) + ($4 + tax) = one total price
Second: Add up the prices of each individual item. Then find the tax and
total. She thinks that these two strategies will give you two different results.
$9 + $7 + $4 + $4 → amount for all the items
amount for all the items + tax = a different total price
Marta disagrees with Nicky. She claims the answers are the same because of
the Distributive Property.

Someone answer this asap rn for ! a discount store’s prices are 25% lower than department store prices. the function c(x) = 0.75x can be used to determine the cost c, in dollars, of an item, where x is the department store price, in dollars. if the item has not sold in one month, the discount store takes an additional 20% off the discounted price and an additional $5 off the total purchase. the function d(y) = 0.80y - 5 can be used to find d, the cost, in dollars, of an item that has not been sold for a month, where y is the discount store price, in dollars. create a function d(c(x)) that represents the final price of an item when a costumer buys an item that has been in the discount store for a month. d(c(x)) =
