Socket set for $36.00 with 40% off plus 8.25 % sales tax. how much do i owe?

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

so the socket set has a 40% off, what is 40% of 36?  well, is just (40/100) * 36, or 14.4, that's the discount, so the sale price is 36 - 14.4, or 21.6.

plus the 8.25% taxation, what is 8.25% of 21.6?  well, is just (8.25/100) * 21.6, or 1.782.

so the total price is 21.6 + 1.782, or 23.382, or about 23 bucks and 38 cents.

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
