Shirts are on sale for 20%.You buy 2 of them. As you pay, the cashier says, “20% off of each shirt means 40%off the total price.” Do you agree or disagree? Please explain thoroughly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Disagree.

If each shirt is originally x dollars, then the new price is 0.8x.  So the total cost is 1.6x, down from the original 2x.

So the discount is (2x − 1.6x) / 2x × 100% = 20%.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
