You and your best friend are shopping at a store which is having large sales. Then: f(x) = x - 0.30x gives the sticker price, in dollars, for an item on a 30% off sale, and g(x) = x + 0.06x gives the price, in dollars, for an item with 6% sales tax. a. Find the function which calculates the total cost of an item, after the discount and sales tax are applied. (That is, find (g ∘ f)(x)) b. If your friend wants to buy an item originally priced $29.95, but she only has $25, will she have enough money to buy the item? Explain your answer.
