I have a goal of getting exactly $100. But I have to pay a tax of 10%. How much money do I need to get in order to have exactly $100 after paying tax? Explain your answer please.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  $111.11

=======================================================

Explanation:

Let's say you earn x dollars.

You pay 10% tax on that, which means you pay 0.10x dollars.

This would drop to x-0.10x = 0.90x which is the amount earned after tax.

So you pay 10% of what you earn, and keep 90% of the rest.

Set this equal to the target $100 you want and solve for x.

0.90x = 100

x = 100/0.90

x = 111.11

Notice that 10% of this is 0.10*x = 0.10*111.11 = 1.11 when rounding to the nearest penny. So you'll pay $1.11 in tax. Therefore, you'd have x-0.10x = 111.11 - 1.11 = 100 left over. So the answer checks out.

Answer:

The third one

Step-by-step explanation:

All show complementary angles ( angles that add up to 90 degrees ) except for the third one

First one: shows a square within the two angles which indicates that the angles form a right angle ( 90 degree angle ) meaning that they are complementary angles

Second: the angles add up to equal 90 ( 50 + 40 = 90 ) hence they are complementary angles

Third one: the angles form a straight line. Angles that form a straight line add up to equal 180 and are known as supplementary angles

Fourth: the angles shown add up to 90 ( 65 + 25 = 90) hence they are complementary angles

All are complementary but the third one

It takes 20 minutes to fill a wading pool. The pool has developed a leak through which it will empty in 30 minutes.
If the hole is not fixed, how long will it take to fill the wading pool?

Answers

In t minutes, t/20 of the pool is filled and t/30 of it is emptied.

t/20 - t/30 = 1
multiply both sides by LCM 60.

3t - 2t = 60
t = 60

The pool is filled in 60 minutes.

(-7,-2)  

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 19

y = 5x + 33

Substitute in y. Basically set equal to each other.

3x + 19 = 5x + 33

-2x = 14

x = -7

y = 3 (-7) + 19

y = -21 + 19

y = -2

Answer:

y = -2

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute y= 5x + 33

5x + 33 = 3x + 19

Isolate x for 5x + 33 = 3x + 19: x = -7

For y = 5x + 33

Substitute x = -7

y = 5(-7) + 33

y = -2

So the solution is y= -2, x=-7

Two square based pyramids are joined, total volume is 2700mm, perpendicular height 16mm on top pyramid and 20mm on the other, joint base has length and width of x, find x. Please help me..

Answers

Answer:

15 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both pyramids are joined together, this means that the base of the pyramid which is a square have the same dimensions.

Let the length and width of the base be x, hence the dimension of the base is x mm by x mm.

For the first pyramid, the volume is:

V₁ = a²h₁/3; where a is the length of the square base, h₁ is the height.

Since the pyramid has a height of 16 mm, hence:

V₁ = 16x²/3

the second pyramid, the volume is:

V₂ = a²h₂/3; where a is the length of the square base, h₂ is the height.

Since the pyramid has a height of 20 mm, hence:

V₂ = 20x²/3

Since the total volume (V) of the pyramid is 2700 mm³, hence:

V = V₁ + V₂

V = 16x²/3 + 20x²/3

2700 = 16x²/3 + 20x²/3

2700 = 36x²/3

36x² = 8100

x² = 225

x = 15 mm

Which equation represents the line that passes through (-8,11) and
and (4, 7/2)?

A) y = -5/8x + 6
B) y = -5/8x + 16
C) y = 15/2x - 49
D) y = -15/2x + 71

Answers

Answer:

A) y = -5/8x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y`1 / x2 - x1

7/2 - 11 / 4 - (-8)

-15/2  / 12

= -5/8

y = -5/8x + b

11 = -5/8(-8) + b

11 = 5 + b

6 = b

Answer:

Option (A)

y = - 5 / 8 x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are

(x', y') = ( - 8, 11 )

(x'', y'') = (4, 7/2)

The equation o line passing through two points is given by

[tex](y - y') = \frac{y'' - y'}{x''-x'}(x-x')\\\\(y - 11)= \frac{\frac{7}{2}-11}{4+8} (x + 8)\\\\y - 11 = \frac{-5}{8}(x + 8)\\\\y -11 = \frac{-5x}{8} - 5\\\\y = \frac{-5x}{8} + 6[/tex]

So, option (A) is correct.

We can use the rule for multiplying powers with the same base to simplify the left-hand side of the equation:

Now we can rewrite the equation as:

6⁽⁹⁺ˣ⁾ = 6²

Since the bases on both sides of the equation are the same, we can equate the exponents:

9 + x = 2

Subtracting 9 from both sides gives:

x = -7

Therefore, the value of x in the given equation is -7.

C; A singleton set

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, when a number is non-negative; it is either positive or zero

Now, this is because 0 identifies as neither a positive or a negative number

hence, when we find the difference between the two sets, the only number that stands out unmatched is the value 0

What this mean is that we are having a set with a single number result

2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

2. and 3.

the total number of paintings depend upon the number of weeks that have passed as she adds 3 paintings every week to her collection.

1. can't be an option as output values depend upon the input values and hence not independent

4. can't be an option because each week that passes she adds 3 more paintings and since one input has 3 outputs, its not a function.

5. the number of weeks is the input value and number of paintings is the output value as you can later SEE how many paintings she has, not how many weeks it took her.

Answer:

(B, C, D)

Step-by-step explanation:

This scenario can be represented using this equation:

y = 3x + 7

y = total paintings after # of weeks (dependent variable)

x = # of weeks (independent variable)

3 = 3 paintings per week

7 = initial number of paintings

Let's evaluate each answer choice:

"The independent variable is represented by the ouput values"

No, this is wrong. The indepedent variable is the input values.

"The dependent variable is the total number of paintings"

This is correct. The total # of paintings is the output value, or the dependent variable.

"The total number of paintings depends on the number of weeks that have passed"

This is correct. The total # of paintings is the output value, or the dependent variable, because it depends on the # of weeks that pass by.

"This scenario is a function because for each week that passes, there will be exactly one total number of paintings"

This is correct. There is only one possible output for each input.

"The number of weeks is the output value"

No, this is wrong. The total # of paintings is the output value, not the # of weeks.

The cost for 2 adults and 5 children to eat at the local buffet restaurant is \$46.50 . The cost for 1 adult and 1 child is $15. What is the cost of a child's meal ?

Answers

Answer:

c = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 a + 5 c = 46.50

a + c = 15

a = 15 - c

2(15-c ) +5c = 46.50

30 - 2c +5c = 46.5

3c = 16.5

c = 5.5

Let a be the adults and c be the children.

For the first equation there are 2 adults and 5 children so the equation is:-

2a + 5c = 46.50

And for the second equation there is 1 adult and 1 child. So the equation is:-

a + c = 15

a = 15 - c

You take this formula and substitute it to the above formula (2a + 5c = 46.50)

➡️ 2a + 5c = 46.50

➡️ 2(15 - c) + 5c = 46.50

➡️ 30 -2c + 5c = 46.50

➡️ 5c - 2c = 46.50 - 30
(You collect like terms)

➡️ 3c = 16.5

➡️ c = 16.5/3

➡️ c = 5.5

Hello,

First, you must understand that

(f-g)(x) means f(x)-g(x) it is the difference of two functions :

f(x)=2x+4 and g(x)=3x-7

f(5)=2*5+4=10+4=14

g(5)=3*5-7=15-7=8

So, (f-g)(5)= f(5)-g(5)=14-8=6

Answer A: none of the choices are correct.

An other way to do it:

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=2x+4-(3x-7)= 2x-3x+4+7=-x+11

if x= 5 then (f-g)(5)=-5+11=6

Rachel, Trey, and Juan sent a total of 85 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Rachel sent 10 more messages than Trey. Juan sent 3 times as many messages as Rachel. How many messages did they each send?

Answers

Answer:

Trey = 9 text messages

Rachel = 19 text messages

Juan = 57 text messages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of messages Trey sent = x

Number of messages Rachel sent = x + 10

Number of messages Juan sent = 3(x + 10)

Total messages = 85

Total = Trey + Rachel + Juan

85 = x + (x + 10) + 3(x + 10)

85 = x + x + 10 + 3x + 30

85 = 5x + 40

85 - 40 = 5x

45 = 5x

x = 45/5

x = 9

Number of messages Trey sent = x = 9 text messages

Number of messages Rachel sent = x + 10

= 9 + 10

= 19 text messages

Number of messages Juan sent = 3(x + 10)

= 3(9 + 10)

= 3(19)

= 57 text messages

Therefore, multiply the time it takes her to sign each invitation (5.3 seconds) by the total number of invitations there are (96 invitations) to get the projected total amount of time that it will take Lola to sign all 96 invitations:[tex]96\cdot 5.3=\boxed{508.8\text{ seconds}}[/tex]
