Adepartment store purchases logo shirts at a cost of $10 per shirt. they increase the price 100% and put them on the sales floor. every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25%. after three monthly reductions, the final shirt from the shipment is sold. there is a 5% sales tax on the selling price. explain the steps for finding the final cost to the customer for that shirt?

The original selling price is found by multiplying 100% by $10 and adding that to the original $10. The logo shirt goes on the sale floor for $20. Each of the next three months, the reduced price is found by multiplying the current sale price by 75%. The tax is found by multiplying 5% by the final discounted price and adding the tax to the final sale price.

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
