There are [latex]24[/latex] students in Professor Donaldson’s history of film class who say their favorite movie genre is comedy.
There are [latex]3,120[/latex] people in Tara’s town who are food insecure.
Maddie needs [latex]4.8[/latex] cups of mayonnaise and [latex]3.2[/latex] cups of apple cider vinegar.
There is [latex]41.8[/latex] liters of oxygen in [latex]200[/latex] liters of air.
The discount on the laptop is [latex]$140.00[/latex].
[latex]13[/latex] kilograms is equivalent to [latex]28.660[/latex] pounds (rounded to three decimal places).
[latex]10[/latex] miles is equivalent to [latex]633,600[/latex] inches.
For the markup question regarding Wegmans cereal:
The markup in dollars is [latex]$0.79[/latex].
The markup is [latex]52.7%[/latex] of the original cost (rounded to one decimal place).
After a [latex]50\%[/latex] discount on the original price of [latex]$150.00[/latex], the price of the item becomes [latex]$75.00[/latex].
[latex]25\%[/latex] of the sale price is [latex]$18.75[/latex].
When an additional [latex]25\%[/latex] coupon is applied to the discounted price of [latex]$75.00[/latex], the new price becomes [latex]$56.25[/latex].
The total amount saved on the item is [latex]$93.75[/latex], which is the difference between the original price and the final price paid.
The effective discount percentage is [latex]62.5\%[/latex].
The effective discount percentage is not equal to [latex]75\%[/latex]. This is because the second discount of [latex]25\%[/latex] is applied to the already discounted price, not the original price. The discounts compound rather than add directly, leading to a smaller percentage discount than simply adding the two percentages together.
Irrational Numbers

This expression involves [latex]\pi[/latex] and the square root of [latex]2[/latex], which are both irrational numbers. Without a calculator, we can’t get a numerical value for this expression. It is as simplified as it can be without numeric approximation.
[latex]15.8\pi[/latex]
Since these do not have the same irrational part, the calculation can not be done.
