yourself Alright so every once in a while a problem

00:46

comes along we can zip through in a matter of

00:47

seconds and this is one of them Let's check out

00:49

our answer choices here We're told that there's a seven

00:52

percent tax on jasper's food represented by the variable f

00:56

well there's no reference to that seven percent tax and

00:58

option c so that was clearly a loser We're also

told that five dollars delivery fee is untaxed and yet

01:04

both options a and b have the delivery feet included

01:08

inside the parentheses and then they haven't multiplied by either

01:11

point Oh seven or one Point Oh seven neither of

01:13

which could possibly be right Since that five bucks has

01:16

to stand alone and lickety split Just like that we

01:19

determine that option Do one point Oh seven f plus

01:22

five is less than twenty has to be the right

01:25

answer process of elimination Yes we've got the cost of

01:29

the food being multiplied by one point Oh seven and

01:31

that's one hundred percent plus percent extra Plus the five

01:34

dollars delivery charge must equal or be less than twenty

01:37

bucks Yes is it was outlined in the problem Jasper

01:40

has resolved to get back into the dating scene starting
