A wooden bench was originally priced at $50 but went on sale for 20% off. If Presley bought the wooden bench and paid a 5% sales tax, how much did he pay in total?

$42.00

Step-by-step explanation:

20% OF  50 = 40

Before Tax Price: $40.00

Sale Tax: 5.00% or $2.00

After Tax Price: $42.00

$42

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the new bench price, you multiply 50 × 0.2, which gets you 10, then you subtract 50-10, which is 40, and $40 is the price of the bench on sale. (You could also do 50 × 0.8 to avoid a step and still get the same answer).

You then take 40 and multiply is by 0.05 to get the tax, which would be $2. From here, you add 40+2 to get $42, the amount of money Presley paid for the bench.

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130
