Answer 2

Answer:

Sales tax

Depending on where you live, you might pay a sales tax on the things you buy. A sales tax is an extra charge added to the price of an item. The amount you pay in tax is almost always a percentage of that price.

Suppose you buy a $50 coffeemaker in an area where the sales tax is 8%. When you check out, 8% of $50 would be added to your total price. How much would you pay total?

Estimate the measure of ∠DBC.

Answers

Answer:

135°

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering it's estimation, there isn't too much of an explanation, but here you go anyways.

A straight angle is equal to 180°. DBE is a straight angle.

DBC and CBE added together appear to be 180° (supplementary).

We are trying to find DBC. An obtuse angle has to be over 90°, which in this case DBC clearly is over 90°. From that you can conclude it isn't any of the first 3, so it's D. 135°

Find n so that C(n, 3) = P(n, 2).

Answers

Answer:

n = 19/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for C(n,r) = n!/(r!(n-r)!)

C(n,3) = n! /( 3! * (n - 3)!)

Formula for P(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!

P(n,2)= n!/(n-2)!

C(n, 3) = P(n, 2)

n! /( 3! * (n - 3)!) = n!/(n-2)!

[tex]\frac{n!}{3!(n-3)!}= \frac{n!}{(n-2)!}[/tex] cross multiply

n!(n-2)! = n! 3! (n-3)!

(n-3)! = (n-3)(n-2)!

so n!(n-2)! = n! 3! (n-3)! becomes

n!(n-2)! = n! 3! (n-3)(n-2)! divide both sides by n!(n-2)!

1  =6(n-3)

1 =6n -18

19 = 6n

n = 19/6

One circle has a diameter of 10 inches. A second circle has a diameter that is twice the diameter of the first circle. What is the ratio of the area of the smaller circle to the larger circle?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]78.54:314.16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First circle area with diameter 10 inches =

[tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]\pi \times 5^2[/tex]

[tex]=78.53981[/tex]

Second circle area with diameter 20 inches =

[tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]\pi \times 10^2[/tex]

[tex]=314.159265[/tex]

[tex]78.53981:314.159265[/tex]

Answer:

78.5 : 314.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the first Circle = 10 inches

Diameter of the second Circle = 2(10) [TWICE] = 20 inches

So,

Area of the first circle:

Radius = 5 inches

Area = πr²

A = (3.14)(5)²

A = 78.5 inches²

Area of the second circle:

Radius = 10 inches

Area = πr²

Area = (3.14)(10)²

Area = 314. 2 inches

Now the ratio of the area of smaller circle to the larger circle is

78.5 : 314.2

Miss penny inherits £450 she decides to save some of the money and spend the rest. The ratio of savings to spending money is 9:6 How much does she save and how much does she spend?

Answers

Answer:

she spent £270.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us define what a ratio of 9:6 means.

when you have a ratio such as this, you have to add both ratios first:

9+6 = 15

This means that out of every 15 parts, the ratio of the sharing is 9 parts to 6 parts.

Now let us solve the problem

Savings to spending = 9:6

if total amount = m

ratio saved = 9/15 × m

ratio spent = 6/15 × m

Now total amount (m) = £450

∴ ratio saved = 9/15 × 450 = 4050/15 = £270

Therefore she spent £270.

To calculate the amount saved, we simply subtract 270 from 450, or we use (6/15 × 450). You can try it out to see if you get the same answer, which is she spent £180

1) 2x – y = 1
2x +2y = 10


2) 5x – y =15

x + y = -3


please do both of these with explanation!!

Answers

Answer:

1) (2, 3)

2) (2, -5).

Step-by-step explanation:

2x – y = 1

2x +2y = 10   Subtract to eliminate  the 2x:

2x - 2x - y - 2y = 1  - 10

-3y = -9

y = 3.

Plug this into the first equation:

2x - 3 = 1

2x = 4

x = 2.

2)

5x – y =15

x + y = -3     Adding to eliminate y:

5x + x - y + y = 15 + -3

6x = 12

x = 2

Plug this into the first equation:

5(2) - y = 15

-y = 15 - 10 = 5

y = -5.

you have a 5-inch by 7-inch picture that you framed. When you hung the picture, you found that the entire area is 69.56 in. What is the width of the frame?​

Answers

Answer:

d. 2.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

So initially w/o frame the area was 5 x 7 = 35 sq in.

Now we have to add the width of the frame to both dimensions.

(5+w)(7+w) = 69.56 sq in

35 + 7w + 5w + w² = 69.56

w² + 12w + 35 = 69.56

w² + 12w - 34.56 = 0

I use the quadratic formula to solve this (x = -b±√b²-4ac / 2a). I cheat by using a quadratic program on the calculator :,)

w = 2.4

w = -14.4

Since we can't have a negative width, the answer must be w = 2.4 inches.

You can also just plug the answer choices one-by-one into the calculator with guess-and-check because this is multiple choice.

Answer:  d) 2.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the frame

Then the area of the frame is:

(x + 5)(x + 7) = 69.56

Rewrite it in Standard form of a quadratic equation:

x² + 12x + 35 = 69.56

x² + 12x - 34.56 = 0

Use Quadratic Formula to solve for x:

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+\sqrt{12^2-4(1)(-34.56)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+\sqrt{282.24}}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+16.6}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{4.8}{2}\\\\\\x=\large\boxed{2.4}[/tex]

pos ble number of outcomes for the season record

Answers

Answer: 529 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

You square the number of games as many times as the outcomes (win or loss)

2 outcomes = 23 * 23

23 * 23 = 529

Since there are 2 outcomes, you multiply 2 23’s together to get the number of possible ways.

529 .
Basically all you do is find an even number of possible wins and loses. 23 games with two outcomes 23*23=529

The total weight of the person decrease is 167 pounds and the percentage by which person's weight decrease is 84%.

What is percentage decrease?

Percentage decrease is the value which is deducted or reduced from the initial value in the percentage part.

The weight of the person is 200 pound. The person's weighs on the  moon is 33.​

The person's weight decrease-

The change in the weight of the person is the difference of weight of the person and weight of the person on moon. Thus the change in weight of the person is,

[tex]\Delta W=200-33\\\Delta W=167[/tex]

The percentage did the person's weight decrease-

The change in person's weight is 167 pounds and the original weight of the person is 200 pounds. Thus the percentage change is,

[tex]\Delta W=\dfrac{167}{200}\times100\\\Delta W=83.5\%\\\Delta W\approx84\%[/tex]

Thus, the total weight of the person decrease is 167 pounds and the percentage by which person's weight decrease is 84%.

Factorize x squared - 1x +10 =0

Answers

Answer:

no solution exists:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²−1x+10=0

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x²−x+10=0

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

x²−x+10−10=0−10

x²−x=−10

Step 3: The coefficient of -x is -1. Let b=-1.

Then we need to add (b/2)^2=1/4 to both sides to complete the square.

Add 1/4 to both sides.

x²−x+ 1/4=−10+ 1/4

x²−x+ 1/4=−39 /4

Step 4: Factor left side.

(x  -1/2)² = −39 /4

Step 5: Take square root.

x  −1 /2 =±√ −39 /4

Step 6: Add 1/2 to both sides.

x  =−1/2  + 1/2 = 1/2 ±√ -39/4

x = 1/2 ±√ -39/4
