3 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]

3 friends went to dinner and their total bill was $19.50. They each brought $8. If a tip is typically between 15% and 20% of the bill do they have enough for dinner and tip? 15% tip: 19.50 * 1.15 = 22.43 20% tip: 19.50 * 1.2 = 23.4 3 friends each brought $8, so they have: 3 * 8 = $24 So the $24 [B]will cover both a 15% tip and a 20% tip[/B]

A $650 television costs $702 after sales tax is figured in. What is the sales tax percentage?

A carpet cleaner charges $75 to clean the first 180 sq ft of carpet. There is an additional charge of 25 per square foot for any footage that exceeds 180 sq ft and $1.30 per step for any carpeting on a staircase. A customers cleaning bill was $253.95. This included the cleaning of a staircase with 14 steps. In addition to the staircase, how many square feet of carpet did the customer have cleaned? Calculate the cost of the staircase cleaning. Staircase cost = $1.30 * steps Staircase cost = $1.30 * 14 Staircase cost = $18.20 Subtract this from the cost of the total cleaning bill of $253.95. We do this to isolate the cost of the carpet. Carpet cost = $253.95 - $18.20 Carpet cost = $235.75 Now, the remaining carpet cost can be written as: 75 + $0.25(s - 180) = $235.75 <-- were s is the total square foot of carpet cleaned Multiply through and simplify: 75 + 0.25s - 45 = $235.75 Combine like terms: 0.25s + 30 = 235.75 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=0.25s%2B30%3D235.75&pl=Solve']Type this equation into our search engine[/URL] to solve for s, and we get: s = [B]823[/B]

Jeff Bezos, who owns Amazon, has a net worth of approximately $143.1 billion (as of mid-2018). An employee in the Amazon distribution center earns about $13 an hour. The estimated lifespan of the employee is 71 years. If the employee worked 24 hours a day, every day of the year from the moment of his birth, how many lifespans would it take for him to earn wages equivalent to Jeff Bezos' net worth? Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Calculate earnings per lifespan: Earnings per lifespan = lifespan in years * Annual Earnings Earnings per lifespan = 71 * 13 * 24 * 365 <-- (24 hours per day * 365 days per year) Earnings per lifespan = 8,085,480 Calculate the number of lifespans needed to match Jeff Bezos earnings: Number of lifespans = Jeff Bezos Net Worth / Earnings Per Lifespan Number of lifespans = 143,100,000,000 / 8,085,480 Number of lifespans = [B]17,698.39 ~ 17,699[/B]
