Percy paid 24.10 for a basketball. The price of a basketball was 22.99. What was the sales tax rate?

Answers

Answer 1
so, he paid 24.10 with the tax included, without the tax is 22.99, thus 24.10 - 22.99 or 1.11 is the tax amount.

now, if we take 22.99 to be the 100%, how much is 1.11 off of it in percentage?

 [tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 22.99&100\\ 1.11&p \end{array}\implies \cfrac{22.99}{1.11}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{1.11\cdot 100}{22.99}[/tex]
Answer 2

Answer:  The required sales tax rate is 4.83%.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Percy paid 24.10 for a basketball and the price of a basketball was 22.99.

We are to find the sales tax rate.

According to the given information, the sales tax is given by

[tex]S.T.=24.10-22.99=1.11.[/tex]

Therefore, the sales tax rate is given by

[tex]\dfrac{1.11}{22.99}\times100\%=\dfrac{111}{22.99}\%=4.83\%.[/tex]

Thus, the required sales tax rate is 4.83%.

Every mixed number has two components to it: a whole part and a fractional part. The whole part represents the number of wholes in a given number, and the fractional part represents the remainder; the “leftovers,” essentially.

Let’s establish first that our result is going to be negative. That’s a non-negotiable. Now, we can turn our attention to the 25/7. What is “one whole” when we’re dealing with sevenths? Well, splitting one whole thing into sevenths is the same as splitting it into 7 equal pieces, so in any one whole, we’ll have 7/7.

So, finding the *whole* part of 25/7 is the same thing as finding out how many *whole 7s* fit in 25. We can fit 3 whole 7s into 25, so our whole part is 3. Dividing 25 by 7 leaves us with *4/7* (since 7 x 3 = 21 and 25 - 21 = 4), so our fractional part is 4/7. Putting that together:

Adding back on the negative sign from the beginning, we find that our mixed number is [tex]-3 \frac{4}{7} [/tex].

3) left side:

left side ^2 = (4 - 2)^2 + (9 - 4)^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 = 4 + 25 = 29

=> left side = √29 units

4) rigth side = (8 - 6)^2 + (9 - 4)^2 = 29

=> right side = √29 units

5) Perimeter = 2 units + 6 units + √29 units + √29 units = 8 + 2√29 units

To transport 228 people to an island island ferry make six different trips on each trip the ferry carries the same number of people how many people does the ferry transport on each trip

Answers

240 I calculated it your welcome :)

Answer:

38 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: To transport [tex]228[/tex] people to an island island ferry make six different trips on each trip the ferry carries the same number of people.

To Find: how many people does the ferry transport on each trip.

Solution:

Total number of people to be transported [tex]=228[/tex]

Total number of trips made by island ferry [tex]=6[/tex]

As ferry carries same number of people in each trip

number of people ferry transport in each ferry [tex]=\frac{\text{total number of people to be transported}}{\text{total number of ferries}}[/tex]

putting values,

                     [tex]=\frac{228}{6}[/tex]

                     [tex]38[/tex]

Hence number of people ferry transport in each island ferry is [tex]38[/tex].

Solve the system of equations using elimination. 2x + y = 9 8x – 2y = 6

Answers

(1) 2x + y = 9
(2) 8x – 2y = 6

You can eliminate the x or the y. I am going to eliminate the y

First multiply the first equation 2x + y = 9  by 2.
2x + y = 9
2(2x + y = 9)
4x +2y = 18
Now we have a new equation that we can use and we can eliminate the y from the other equation because +2y - 2y = 0. Lets do that now and solve for  x.

4x +2y = 18
8x – 2y = 6
12x = 24
12x / 12 = 24 / 12
x = 2
So we found the value of x, which is 2. To find y, insert 2 into one of the original equations. I am going to use 2x + y = 9
2x + y = 9
2(2) + y = 9
4 + y = 9
-4 + 4 + y = 9 - 4
y = 9 - 4
y = 5
y = 5.

Our point is at (x, y) = (2,5)
x = 2
y = 5

At a certain college, the probability that a student attends full-time is 0.320 and the probability that the student attends part-time is 0.680. At the same college, the probability that a student receives financial aid is 0.570 while the probability that a student does not receive financial aid is 0.430. If a student is randomly selected, what is the probability that the student attends full-time and does not receive financial aid?

Answers

the probability that a randomly selected student attends full-time and does not receive financial aid is ( 0.1376 ), or ( 13.76% ).

To find the probability that a student attends full-time and does not receive financial aid, we can use the multiplication rule for independent events.

Given:

- Probability of attending full-time: [tex]\( P(\text{full-time}) = 0.320 \)[/tex]

- Probability of not receiving financial aid:[tex]\( P(\text{no financial aid}) = 0.430 \)[/tex]

By the multiplication rule, the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities:

[tex]\[ P(\text{full-time and no financial aid}) = P(\text{full-time}) \times P(\text{no financial aid}) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = 0.320 \times 0.430 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = 0.1376 \][/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected student attends full-time and does not receive financial aid is ( 0.1376 ), or ( 13.76% ).

The perimeter of a church window is 80 inches. If the window is in the shape of a square.what is the length of each side of the window?

Answers

the answer is going to be 20 inches.  hope that helped


Final answer:

The length of each side of the church window is 20 inches.

Explanation:

To find the length of each side, we need to determine the perimeter of the square. The perimeter is the sum of all four sides of the square. In this case, it is given that the perimeter is 80 inches. Since all sides of a square are equal in length, we can divide the perimeter by 4 to find the length of each side. So, each side of the church window will be 80 inches divided by 4, which is 20 inches.

If you know that a < b, and both a and b are positive numbers, then what must be true about the relationship between the opposites of these numbers? Explain.

Answers

Answer: just copy and paste


We want to find the relationship between the opposites of a and b, given that both are positive and a < b.

That relation is:

-a > -b.

Remeber that the opposite of a real number is just -1 times that number.

The opposite of a is: -a

The opposite of b is: -b

Remember that for negative numbers, the closer the number is to zero, the larger is the number.

Because we know that a and b are positive, and a < b, then we know that a is closer to zero.

So for -a and -b, we know that -a is also closer to zero (then -a is larger than -b), so the relationship between these two is:

-a > -b.

Final answer:

When a < b and both a and b are positive numbers, the opposites of these numbers will have opposite signs.

Explanation:

In mathematical terms, when two positive numbers add, the answer has a positive sign. Similarly, when two negative numbers add, the answer has a negative sign. However, when a negative number is added to a positive number, the answer will depend on the magnitudes of the numbers:

If the positive number is greater than the negative number, the answer will have a positive sign.If the positive number is smaller than the negative number, the answer will have a negative sign.

So, in the given scenario where a < b, if both a and b are positive numbers, the opposites of these numbers will have opposite signs.

By evaluating the function in x = 15, we will see that in the year 15 there will be 96 cases.

Which is the best prediction for the number of new cases in year 15?

The function that predicts the number of cases in the year x is given by:

So we just need to evaluate that function in x = 15, this means replacing x by 15.

The volume of the piece of granite is 6.1 cubic cm if the graduated cylinder is filled to 41.5 ml with water and a piece of granite is placed in the cylinder, displacing the level to 47.6 ml.

What is volume?

It is defined as a three-dimensional space enclosed by an object or thing.

We have:

Volume of the water filled in the cylinder = 41.5 ml

Volume after placing the piece of granite = 47.6 ml

The volume of the piece of granite = 47.6 - 41.5 = 6.1 ml

As we know 1 ml = 1 cm³

The volume of the piece of granite = 6.1 cubic cm

Thus, the volume of the piece of granite is 6.1 cubic cm if the graduated cylinder is filled to 41.5 ml with water and a piece of granite is placed in the cylinder displacing the level to 47.6 ml.
