Question

Gaming systems are on sale for 20% off the original price (g), which can be expressed with the function p(g) = 0.8g. Local taxes are an additional 12% of the discounted price (p), which can be expressed with the function c(p) = 1.12p. Using this information, which of the following represents the final price of a gaming system with the discount and taxes applied?

c(p) + p(g) = 1.92g
c[p(g)] = 0.896g
g[c(p)] = 1.92p
c(p) ⋅ p(g) = 0.896pg

Answer 1

B c[p(g)] = 0.896g

Explanation:

Answer 2

If you would like to know what represents the final price of a gaming system with the discount and taxes applied, you can calculate this using the following steps:

p(g) = 0.8 * g
c(p) = 1.12 * p

1.12 * p = 1.12 * 0.8 * g = 0.896 * g = c(p(g)) = c[p(g)]

The correct result would be c[p(g)] = 0.896g.
