Shelley is self-employed in Texas and recently attended a two-day business conference in New Jersey. After Shelley attended the conference, she had dinner with an old friend who lived nearby. Shelley documented her expenditures (described below). What amount can Shelley deduct?

The amount deductible by Shelley is $2,929

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the table below as the missing information:

Airfare to New Jersey $2,180

Meals $238

Lodging in New Jersey $432

Rental car $198

All the above expenses are fully deductible by Shelley except the meal which is half deductible.

Half of the meal expenses is:

= 238 / 2 = $119

So the amount deductible by Shelley is:

2180 + 119 + 432 + 198

= 2929

Therefore, the amount deductible by Shelley is $2,929

answer: 15

step-by-step explanation:

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
