A TV that usually sells for $174.45 is on sale for 15% off. If sales tax on the TV is 8%, what is the price of the TV, including tax?

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A

$160.14

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of 174.45 = 26.16

174.45 - 26.16 = 148.28

8% of 148.28 = 11.86

148.28 + 11.86 = 160.14

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
