Petra bought some art supplies from an online retailer. The retailer charges a $5.95 shipping fee or 7.5% of the total purchase, whichever is greater. If Petra's total purchase is $75,99, how much shipping will she pay?

$81.94

Step-by-step explanation

I would subtract 5.95 to 75.99 first and get a total of 70.04 and put it off to the side then I would find out what 7.5 of the total purchase is (75.99) and that is 5.70 rounded and in the paragraph it said "whatever one is bigger" and in this case the 5.95 is bigger so you would add that to your total and get $81.94

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1  

f(x) has value 150 at x= 0

and 0 at x= 3

so d(f(x))/dt = slope = -150/3 = -50
