A retailer is having a promotional sale for 35% off all items. There is a 7% sales tax added to the price. Which represents the situation, where x is the original cost of the item(s)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

C on edge

Considering the discount and the sales tax, the equation that represents the situation is:

[tex]C(x) = 0.6955x[/tex]

-------------------------------

  • The original price, without discount, is of x.
  • Promotional sale for 35% off all items, which means that the amount paid is 100% - 35% = 65% of the original price, thus x is multiplied by 0.65.
  • 7% sales tax means that x is also multiplied by 100% + 7% = 107% = 1.07.

Thus, the equation that represents the cost is:

[tex]C(x) = x \times 0.65 \times 1.07 = 0.6955x[/tex]
