James buys a 3 books from the bookstore for $39.99. he has a coupon for 25% off the original price. he is charged 8.5% sales tax. what is the total cost of his purchase?

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the three books that James bought from the bookstore.

He has a coupon for 25% off the original price. This means that the amount by which the original price was reduced would be

25/100 × 39.99 = 0.25 × 39.99 = $9.8325

The cost of the books would be

39.99 - 9.8325 = $30.1575

He is charged 8.5% sales tax. This means that the amount paid for tax would be

8.5/100 × 30.1575 = 0.085 × 30.1575 = $2.56

the total cost of his purchase would be

2.56 + 30.1575 = $32.7175

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
