The table shows the sales receipt for your purchase.

a) the items with a "t" next to the price are subject to sales tax. what percent sales tax did you pay?






b) calculate the price of the top.





c) the price you paid for the top was 60% of the original price. what was the original price of the top?

Answers

Answer 1

The sales receipt for the purchase includes the sales tax

The sales tax is 6%The price at the top is $7.50The original price at the top is $12.50

How to determine the percent of sales tax?

The sales tax is calculated as:

Percentage sales tax * (Sum of Items subjected to tax) =  Sales tax.

So, we have:

T * (3 + 0.5) =  0.21

Evaluate the sum

T * (3.5) =  0.21

Divide both sides by 3.5

T =  6%

Hence, the sales tax is 6%

The price at the top

The price (p) at the top is calculated using:

p = 13 - 3 - 2 - 0.5

Evaluate the difference

p = 7.5

Hence, the price at the top is $7.50

The original price at the top

60% of the original price (P) is p.

So, we have:

60% * P = p

Substitute 7.5 for p

60% * P = 7.5

Divide both sides by 60%

P = 12.5

Hence, the original price at the top is $12.50

Solve for x: -6 – 5x = 29

Answers

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (&Roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtractions

~

First, add 6 to both sides of the equation:

-5x - 6 = 29

-5x - 6  (+6) = 29 (+6)

-5x = 29 + 6

-5x = 35

Next, divide -5 from both sides of the equation:
(-5x)/-5 = (35)/-5

x = 35/-5

x = -7

-7 is your answer for x.

when each edge of a cube is decreased by 1 cm, its volume is decreased by 91 cm^3 .Find the length of the a side of the original cube.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the original side length is x.

the volume of a block is length × width × height.

so, for a cube with all sides being equal, the volume in our case is x³ (x × x × x).

now, with the same formula but with every side shortened by 1 cm we get

(x-1)(x-1)(x-1) = x³ - 91 (the original volume minus 91)

now, we have to do the multiplications.

(x-1)(x-1) = x² - 2x + 1

(x²-2x+1)(x-1) = x³ - x² - 2x² + 2x + x - 1 = x³ -3x² + 3x -1

x³ - 3x² + 3x - 1 = x³ - 91

-3x² + 3x = -90

-x² + x = -30

x² - x = 30

x² - x - 30 = 0

the general solution to such a squared equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = -1

c = -30

x = (1 ± sqrt((-1)² - 4×1×-30))/(2×1) =

= (1 ± sqrt(1 + 120))/2 = (1 ± sqrt(121))/2 =

= (1 ± 11)/2

x1 = (1 + 11)/2 = 12/2 = 6

x2 = (1 - 11)/2 = -10/2 = -5

a negative number does not make any sense for a side length, so our solution is x = 6 cm.

the original side length of the cube is 6 cm.

to check :

6³ = 216

(6-1)³ = 5³ = 125

216 - 125 = 91

perfect.

The probability that a person chosen at random attended only circuits is 0.16.

The probability that a person chosen at random attended  exactly one class is 0.0288.

The probability that a person chosen at random attended spinning, given that they attended circuits is 0.10

What is the probability?

Probability determines the chances that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.

Probability a person chosen at random attended only circuits = number of people who atended circuits / total number of the people at the gym

16/100 = 0.16

Probability a person chosen at random attended exactly one class  = (number of people who atended circuits only / total number of the people at the gym) x (number of people who atended spinning class only / total number of the people at the gym)

16/100 x 18/100 = 0.0288

Answers

Answer:

y- intercept = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

[tex]m_{perpendicular}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{m}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{3}{4} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] , then equation of perpendicular line is

y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + c

to find c substitute (- 3, - 3 ) into the equation

- 3 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = - 3 + 4 = 1

that is the y- intercept of the perpendicular line is c = 1
