FunctionsA retailer is having a promotional sale for 35% off all items. There is a 7% sales tax added to the price. Which represents the situation, where x is the original cost of the item(s)?
f(x) = 0.35x represents the discount price and g(x)=0.07x represents the price after taxes. The total price would be (f.g)(x) = 0.35(0.07x) = 0.0245x.
f(x) = 0.65x represents the discount price and g(x)=0.07x represents the price after taxes. The total price would be (f.g)(x) = 0.65(0.07x)=0.0455x.
f(x) = 1.07x represents the price after taxes and g(x) = 0.65x represents the discount price. The total price would be (f.g)(x) = 1.07(0.65x)=0.6955x.
f(x) = 1.07x represents the price after taxes and g(x) = 0.35x represents the discount price. The total price would be (f.g)(x) = 0.35(1.07x) = 0.3745x.
