Ted bought a fishing pole for $35.99, bait for $12.99, and a pair of shorts for $14.99. he had a coupon for 25% off the shorts only. what was the total cost of ted’s items before tax?

Ted pays $47.98 before tax

Step-by-step explanation:

What was the cost of the purchases before the coupon

pole + bait+ shorts

35.99 + 12.99+14.99

63.97

If we take 25% off, we still have to pay (100% -25%) or 75%

take the purchases times 75%

63.97 * .75

47.9775

round to the nearest cent

47.98

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
