14.4 A Book and a Cake A book costs $45. Sales tax on the book is 7%. Write two different expressions that represent the final cost of the book in dollars. Pne of the expressions should use only a single multiplication and no other operations. A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off and there are no taxes. Explain why the expression (0.85).32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars
(0.85). 32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars because...

1. $45*1.07 | $45(1.07) 2. (0.85)*32 represent the final price of the cake in dollars because (0.85) is the 15% off in decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 if you multiply 45 by 1.07 it will be 48.15 and that's the final cost of the book, same with $45(1.07) is just another way to represent the multiplication.

2 As I said the 0.85 represent the 15% off, and when you multiply it will be less.

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.

why are you giving so many marks make your marks less and make a question list so that i can understand your question very nicely
