Sumiko and Chung are shopping. Chung wants to buy a video game that costs $60, and Sumiko wants to buy a new pair of sunglasses for $80. In their possession, they have a gift card for $20 dollars, applied after taxes, and a 15 percent off coupon, applied before taxes. Sumiko and Chung want to use their remaining money to buy lunch, which they will split, at the mall. Assuming that taxes are 8.7 percent, who should use which savings option to ensure they have the most money remaining for lunch?

1.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the game and glasses. Write down the number you just got. Now, multiply by 0.15.

Take the second away from the first.

Now multiply that by 0.087

Finally, take 20 away

That is how much money you have spent.

Use both savings so they both get a huge meal.

i can't read the graph

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
