Luis wants to buy a skateboard that usually sells for $79.79. all merchandise is discounted by 12%. what is the total cost of the skateboard if luis has to pay a state sales tax of 8.25%. round your intermediate calculations and answer to the nearest cent.
the total cost of the skateboard is $

3 is greater then both of those numbers

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

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

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.
