If an items costs $41.04, including an 8% sales tax, what was the cost of
the item before taxes?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$38

Step-by-step explanation:

I solved this by doing a proportion, 41.04/108 = x/100 to find the original price before the 8% tax. To solve this proportion you have to isolate the variable, so you would do the cross product and multiply (41.04 x 100) and have that equal to 108x. So then because you have 108x = 4104, isolate x by dividing by 108 and you get 38, thus $38.

You can also check your work by multiplying 38 by 0.08 to find the amount of sales tax added, and if you do this you will get the value $41.04.

Answer 2

A percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100. 

If an item costs $41.04, including an 8% sales tax then the cost of the item before the tax is $37.76.

What is a percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100. 

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

5% = 5/100 = 1/20

We have,

Cost of an item including tax = $41.04

Sales tax = 8%

8% = 8/100

The cost of the item without the sales tax:

= 41.04 - (8% of 41.04)

= 41.04 - (8/100 x 41.04)

= 41.04 - 3.2832

= 37.76

Thus,

The cost of the item before the tax is $37.76.

I’d ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 2 about point E, which of the following is true about line segment E’F’

Answers

Answer:

Line Segment EF passes through the center of the dilatation

Step-by-step explanation:

I just know...

Option (4) will be the correct option.

    Given in the question,

ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 2 about point E.A'B'C'D' is the dilated figure.

Option (1). E'F' is perpendicular to EF.

Since, center of dilation of ABCD is at E, E' will coincide point E.

Therefore, EF and E'F' can't be perpendicular.

Option (2). E'F' is parallel to EF.

Since, center of dilation of ABCD is at E, point E' will coincide point E.

Therefore, E'F' can't be parallel.

Option (3). E'F' intersects with point B'.

Since, center of dilation of ABCD is at E, EF will lie on E'F'.

Therefore, E'F' cant intersect point B'.

Option (4). E'F' passes through center of dilation.

Since, center of dilation of ABCD is at E, therefore, E'F' will pass through the center of dilation E.

  Therefore, Option (4) is the correct option.

Jessie is going to the county fair. The cost of admission is $5.00 and it is $2.00 for each ride. If Jessie has $19.00, Write an equation to determine how many rides Jessie can ride. Draw and use algebra tiles to solve.

Answers

By direct calculation, we will see that Jessie can go to 7 rides in the county fair.

So we know that the cost of admission is $5.00 and each ride costs $2.00.

So if you go to the county fair and go to x rides, the cost is:

c(x) = $2.00*x + $5.00

And you have $19, then by solving:

c(x) = $19

We can find the number of rides at which Jessie can go.

$19 = $2.00*x + $5.00

$19 - $5 = $2*x

$14 = $2*x

$14/$2 = x = 7

Jessie can go to 7 rides.

The most typical distribution function for independent, randomly produced data is the normal distribution, commonly known as the Gaussian distribution. Every statistical report uses this well-known bell-shaped curve, from survey analysis and quality control to resource allocation.

Here,

We have to determine in a normal distribution, 95% of the data fall within how many standard deviations of the mean.

Answer:

ok so

lets say

1 2/4 divided by 1/3

okay so first you change the 1 2/4 into a improper fraction

1 2/4 = 6/4

okay then you find a common denominator for both of them so you multiply 6 and 4 times 3 and you multiply 1 and 3 times 4

so the question is now

18/12 divided by 4/12

then you divide the numerator by numerator and the denominator stays the same

heres another way:

you change the number to improper if not already

18/12 divided by 4/12

and then you switch the 4 and the 12 around so its now

18/12 divided by 12/4 and then u change the divide sign into a multiply sign which is

18/12 times 12/4 and then u multiply the numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator

which is the equation of a line in point slope form that passes through the point 2,5 and has a slope of 1/2

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y - 2 = 4(x- -1)

y - 2 = 4(x+1)

slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 4x+b

Substituting the point in

2 = 4(-1)+b

2 = -4+b

6 =b

y = 4x+6

standard form

Ax +by = c  where A is a positive integer and b and c are integers

y = 4x+6

Subtract 4x from each side

-4x+y = 6

Multiply by -1

4x -y = 6

2E What is the greatest whole number less than 1000 that:
(1) can be expressed as the sum of two consecutive whole numbers, and
(2) can be expressed as the sum of three consecutive whole numbers, and
(3) can be expressed as the sum of five consecutive whole numbers

Answers

Answer:

(1) 499 and 500 are the greatest consecutive whole numbers whose sum is less than 1000.

(2) 332, 333 and 334 are the greatest consecutive whole numbers whose sum is less than 1000.

(3) 197, 198, 199, 200 and 201 are the greatest consecutive whole numbers whose sum is less than 1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Let be [tex]n \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex], such that:

[tex]n + (n+1) < 1000[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot n +1 < 1000[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Then we solve the inequation by algebraic means:

[tex]2\cdot n < 999[/tex]

[tex]n < \frac{999}{2}[/tex]

[tex]n < 499.5[/tex]

Which means that greatest value of [tex]n[/tex] is 499. In consequence, 499 and 500 are the greatest consecutive whole numbers whose sum is less than 1000.

(2) Let be [tex]n \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex], such that:

[tex]n+(n+1)+(n+2) < 1000[/tex]

[tex]3\cdot n + 3 < 1000[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Then we solve the inequation by algebraic means:

[tex]3\cdot n < 997[/tex]

[tex]n < \frac{997}{3}[/tex]

[tex]n < 332.333[/tex]

Which means that greatest value of [tex]n[/tex] is 332. In consequence, 332, 333 and 334 are the greatest consecutive whole numbers whose sum is less than 1000.

(3) Let be [tex]n \in \mathbb{Z}[/tex], such that:

[tex]n +(n+1)+(n+2)+(n+3)+(n+4) < 1000[/tex]

[tex]5\cdot n + 10 < 1000[/tex] (Eq. 3)

Then we solve the inequation by algebraic means:

[tex]5\cdot n <990[/tex]

[tex]n < \frac{990}{5}[/tex]

[tex]n < 198[/tex]

Which means that greatest value of [tex]n[/tex] is 197. In consequence, 197, 198, 199, 200 and 201 are the greatest consecutive whole numbers whose sum is less than 1000.
