Steven paid $52 in sales tax. The retail price of the item was $966. What is the sales tax percentage?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5.38%

966/52 = 0.05383022774

Step-by-step explanation:

5.38 can also be 5.4%

As proved.

We can write this as 52>52.2

To find  52>52.49 we only have to divide it by the larger number.

52.49/966 = 0.05433747412

or multiply to check.

966 x 0.054 = 52.164   sales tax  =  5.4% paid

966 x 0.053835 = 52.00461 = 5.38 % paid  

Both these amounts or in-between would be sales tax percentage

But exact would be 5.38%

Answer 2

Answer:

5.383%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what percent a part is of a number, divide the part by the number and multiply by 100%.

part = 52

number = 966

percent = 52/966 * 100% = 5.383%

A number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100 or a relative value indicating hundredth part of any quantity is called percentage.

Given that;

The enrollment at the 21st Century High School increased from 700 students to 1,200 students over a period of 5 years.

Now,

Increased students = 1200 - 700

                              = 500

Hence, The increased percent is,

⇒ 500 / 700 × 100

What is the simplified form of the expression? 6/√5−√2

Answers

Answer:

The expression can be simplified into [tex]2\,\sqrt{5} +2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

with no square roots in the denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

We are considering the expression  [tex]\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2} }[/tex]  which I believe is what you wanted to type in your question.

The idea behind simplification of the expression, is normally associated with the rationalization of the denominator by eliminating irrational numbers from it. This means to get rid of any "irrational" number expression (like in this example, the square root of non-perfect square numbers ([tex]\sqrt{5}\,\,\,and \,\,\sqrt{2}[/tex]).

We proceed by writing this quotient in an equivalent form by multiplying its numerator and its denominator by what is called the "conjugate" of the denominator. In our case, multiply by " [tex](\sqrt{5} +\sqrt{2})[/tex] ", because such product will allow the denominator to become a rational number:

[tex]\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2} }\,*\,\frac{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2} )}{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}) } =\frac{6\,(\sqrt{5}\,+\,\sqrt{2} )}{\sqrt{5}^2-\sqrt{2}^2 }=\frac{6\,(\sqrt{5}\,+\,\sqrt{2} )}{3}=2\,\sqrt{5} +2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

where we find all square roots eliminated from the denominator

1. The equation has no real solutions

2. [tex]x_1 = -1 [/tex] and [tex]x_2 = -3 [/tex]

3. p = 0 and p = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Eq: x² - 3x + 5

discriminant: b² - 4(a)(c) = (-3)² - 4(1)(5) = 9 - 20 = -19 < 0

Therefore, the equation has no real solutions

2. Eq: x² + 3 = -4x

0 = x² + 4x + 3

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{4^2 - 4(1)(3)}}{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-4 \pm 2}{2} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{-4 + 2}{2} [/tex]

The answer is B. 1/3+1/4

To do this, you have to put them into the same denominators. Do this by finding the common factor of both denominator. Then after that multiply the numerator by the number that it takes for the denominator to be multiplied to reach that common factor.


A. 6/8+1/4

The biggest common factor that 8 and 4 have is 16. So this is not the answer, since the denominator has to be 12.

B. 1/3+1/4

The factor that the both have in common is 12.

1*4=4 3*4=12. 4/12

Bill receives a monthly stipend of $800. He also works at a bookstore making $8 an hour. He wants a monthly income of $1,200. How many hours does he need to work each month?

Answers

Answer:

150 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill receives $800 as monthly stipend. But after this statement, it says Bill also works at a bookstore. So, it should mean that Bill does not receive $800 from the bookstore. He receives $800 from another job because of the word "also" which is mentioned in the second statement.

If the question is, to find out the number of hours Bill has to work each month if he assumes his monthly income to be $1,200 then 1200/8 = 150

But if the question is trying to mean that Bill receives $800 as a monthly stipend from the bookstore then this answer is wrong.

Then, we would have to calculate the difference.

$1200 - $800 = $420

Time = $420/8 = 50 hours.

Everything depends on the question. The question however needs some explanation, because this question is not written in a clear way.

A company starts to track the number of phone calls received each month. Information about the number of phone calls the company received the first months of tracking is listed below. ~ During the first month, the company received 4,264 phone calls. ~ During the second month, the company received 25% more phone calls than in the first month. ~ During the third month, the company received 6,396 phone calls. What was the percent increase in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Percent increase : 20%  

Step-by-step explanation: First month: 4,264 phone calls.

Second month: 25% more phone calls than in the first month.

To know the total phone calls received during this month you must take 25% of 4,264 and then add it to the 4,264 call of the first month:

4,264*25%=1,066

Total phone calls of the second month: 1,066+ 4,264= 5,330

You can also calculate the total phone calls of the second month by multiplying 4264 times 1,25 because times 1 is the same number and times 0,25 is the percent increase in the number of calls:

4,264*1,25= 5,330

Third month: 6,396 phone calls

To know the percent increase in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month you must use the percent change formula:

Percent change: ((value2-value1)/ value 1 )*100%

Value 2: phone calls received during the third month

Value 1: phone calls received during the second month

Percent change: ((6,396-5,330)/ 5,330 )*100%

Percent increase: 20%

x+4 = -5y

Divide by -5

-1/5x - 4/5 = -5y/-5

-1/5x -4/5 = y

Answer:

f(x) = -5x - 4

let f(x)= y

y = -5x -4

x = -5y - 4

-5y = x+4

y = - (x +4)/5

The inverse of f(x) is -(x +4)/5

What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the value of 'x', we can first derive the value of one of the angles that make up the triangle.

Notice that there is an angle with a measure of 100°. The angle that makes up the angle of the triangle is called a Vertical Angle. Therefore, if the angle in red is 100°, the vertical angle, or the third angle of the triangle, is 100°.

There are two congruent sides to the triangle, as seen by the congruent lines. This means that both of the other two angles must be equal. Find the value of 'x' by:

180 - 100 = 80. Since the value of one angle was 100°, and the angles in a triangle must add up to 180°, you can simply subtract to find the sum of the other two angles.

(x + 10) + (x + 10) = 80

2x + 20 = 80

2x = 60

x = 30°.

Rectangle 2 = 2 * 10 = 20

Answer:

40 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we can cut the carpeted space into 2 parts for easier calculation.

we can do 4 x 5 to find the first part, which equals to 20 square feet.

then, to find the side length of the left over rectangle, you can do 6 - 4, making it the length of the side length, which is 2. then all you must do is multiply 2 by 10, which also equals to 20 square feet.

Just add up both of the calculations(20 +20) then you'll get your answer!

the answer is 40 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is equilateral then the 3 sides are congruent.

Equate any pair of sides and solve for x

AC = BC , that is

10x - 5 = 6x + 3 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

4x - 5 = 3 ( add 5 to both sides )

4x = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 2 → d

A correct option is an option (d).

The given sides are,

AB=7.5x

AC=10x-5

BC=6x+3

As we know in an equilateral triangle all sides are equal then,

AB=AC=BC

[tex]AB=AC\\7.5x=10x-5\\-10x+7.5x=-5\\-2.5x=-5\\x=\frac{5}{2.5} \\x=2[/tex]
