If a shirt costs $40 and the amount of tax collected was $2 what is the sales tax rate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the tax, we take the price times the tax rate

2 = 40* rate

Divide each side by 40

2/40 =rate

.05 = rate

Changing to percent form

5% = rate

Answer 2

Answer:

tax rate = 2 / 40  = 1 /20 = 0.05 *100 = 5%

Answers

Answer:

(B) [tex]f(x)=-3(x+1)(x-5)[/tex]

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the three equivalent forms of f(x):

[tex]f(x)=-3(x-2)^2+27\\f(x)=-3(x+1)(x-5)\\f(x)=-3x^2+12x+15[/tex]

The form which most quickly reveals the zeros (or "roots") of f(x) is

(B) [tex]f(x)=-3(x+1)(x-5)[/tex]

This is as a result of the fact that on equating to zero, the roots becomes immediately  evident.

[tex]f(x)=-3(x+1)(x-5)=0\\-3\neq 0\\Therefore:\\x+1=0$ or x-5=0\\The zeros are x=-1 or x=5[/tex]

Therefore, one of the zeros, x=5

Xd

Answer:

55  125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller angle = x

Let the larger angle = x + 70

They are supplementary so the total of the two angles, by definition must be 180 degrees. Note that you should understand that any number of angles can but supplementary as long as they all add up to 180 degrees.

x + x + 70 = 180

2x + 70 = 180

2x + 70 - 70 = 180 - 70

2x = 110

2x/2 = 110/2

x = 55

the smaller angle = 55 degrees

The larger angle = 55 + 70 = 125

Answers

Answer:

  The graph of the function is negative on (3, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function starts negative at the left side of the graph, crosses the x-axis at x = -5, touches the x-axis at x = 1, again crosses into negative values at x = 3.

The function is positive on the open intervals (-5, 1) and (1, 3). It is negative on the open intervals (-∞, -5) and (3, ∞). The latter description matches the last answer choice:

If the second equation is multiplied by 4, what should the first equation be multiplied by to eliminate the x-variable by addition?

Answers

Answer:

  -5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the second equation is multiplied by 4, the coefficient of the x-variable will be 5·4 = 20. To eliminate the x-variable by addition, the first equation needs to be multiplied by a value that will result in an x-coefficient of -20. If that value is k, then we have ...

  4k = -20

  k = -20/4 = -5

The first equation should be multiplied by -5 to eliminate the x-variable by addition.

_____

Comment on general case

In general, if you have ...

  ax +by = c

  dx +ey = f

to eliminate the x-variable by addition, you can multiply the second equation by "a" and the first equation by "-d". In the problem above, those numbers are 4 and -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Daryl wishes to save money to provide for his retirement. He is now 30 years old and will be
retiring at age 64. Beginning one month from now, he will begin depositing a fixed amount into
a retirement savings account that will earn 12% compounded monthly. Then one year after
making his final deposit, he will withdraw $100,000 annually for 25 years. In addition, and after
he passes away (assuming he lives 25 years after retirement) he wishes to leave in the fund a sum
worth $1,000,000 to his nephew who is under his charge. The fund will continue to earn 12%
compounded monthly. How much should the monthly deposits be for his retirement plan?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Today's Age = 30

Retirement Age = 64

Total Monthly Deposits = ( 64 - 30 ) * 12 = 408

In case of 12% Compounded Monthly , Interest Rate per month = ( 12% / 12 ) = 1%

Effective Interest Rate per year = ( 1 + 0.12/12 )12 - 1 = 1.1268 - 1 = 0.1268 = 12.68%

Present value of Annual 25 Years withdrawal of $100,000 at time of Retirement = $100,000 * PVAF ( 12.68% , 25 )

= $100,000 * 7.4864

= $748,642.20

Present Value of Money for nephew at time of Retirement = $1,000,000 * PVF ( 12.68% , 25 )

= $1,000,000 * 0.050535

= $50,534.52

Now the Present Value of total Amount Required at time of Retirement = $748,642.20 + $50,534.52

= $799,176.70

Now the monthly deposit be X

= X * FVAF ( 408 , 1% ) = $799,176.70

= X * 5752.85 = $799,176.70

X = $138.918

Therefore Monthly Deposit = $138.92

The scores on one portion of a standardized test are approximately Normally distributed, N(572, 51). a. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to estimate the range of scores that includes the middle 95% of these test scores. b. Use technology to estimate the range of scores that includes the middle 90% of these test scores.

Answers

Answer:

a) The range of scores that includes the middle 95% of these test scores is between 470 and 674.

b) The range of scores that includes the middle 90% of these test scores is between 488.1 and 655.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

68-95-99.7 rule:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Z-score:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Mean [tex]\mu = 572[/tex], standard deviation [tex]\sigma = 51[/tex]

a. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to estimate the range of scores that includes the middle 95% of these test scores.

By the 68-95-99.7 rule, within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

572 - 2*51 = 470

572 + 2*51 = 674

The range of scores that includes the middle 95% of these test scores is between 470 and 674.

b. Use technology to estimate the range of scores that includes the middle 90% of these test scores.

Using the z-score formula.

Between these following percentiles:

50 - (90/2) = 5th percentile

50 + (90/2) = 95th percentile.

5th percentile.

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So when X when Z = -1.645.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 572}{51}[/tex]

[tex]X - 572 = -1.645*51[/tex]

[tex]X = 488.1[/tex]

95th percentile.

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So when X when Z = 1.645.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 572}{51}[/tex]

[tex]X - 572 = 1.645*51[/tex]

[tex]X = 655.9[/tex]

The range of scores that includes the middle 90% of these test scores is between 488.1 and 655.9.

Problem 1.) A researcher claims that 96% of college graduates say their college degree has

been a good investment. At a = 0.05 is there enough evidence to reject the researcher's claim?

Answers

Answer:

 |Z| = |-52.5|  = 52.5 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

 Null  hypothesis is rejected

We rejected the researcher's claim

A researcher do not claims that 96% of college graduates say their college degree has been  a good investment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given data A researcher claims that 96% of college graduates say their college degree has  been a good investment.

Population proportion 'P' = 0.96

                                       Q = 1-P = 1- 0.96 = 0.04

In a random sample of 2000 graduates, 1500 say their college degree has

been a good investment.

Sample proportion

                       [tex]p^{-} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{1500}{2000} = 0.75[/tex]

Level of significance  ∝ = 0.05

[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.05}{2} } = Z_{0.025} = 1.96[/tex]

Test statistic

                        [tex]Z = \frac{p^{-} - P }{\sqrt{\frac{PQ}{n} } }[/tex]

                        [tex]Z = \frac{0.75 - 0.96 }{\sqrt{\frac{0.96 X 0.04}{2000} } }[/tex]

                        [tex]Z = \frac{-0.21}{0.00435} = -52.5[/tex]

    |Z| = |-52.5|  = 52.5 > 1.96 at 0.05 level of significance

  Null  hypothesis is rejected

  We rejected the researcher's claim

Conclusion:-

A researcher do not claims that 96% of college graduates say their college degree has been  a good investment.

A boathouse costs $2750 a month to operate, and it spends $650 each

month for every boat that it docks. The boathouse charges a monthly fee of

$900 to dock a boat. If n is the number of boats, which equation represents

the profit function of the boathouse?

O A. p = 2750n + 250

O B. p= 900n + 2750

O c. p = 250n- 2750

O D. p = 650n + 2750

Answers

Answer: P=250n-2750

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit function of the boathouse is given as follows p = 250n- 2750.

What is the profit function?

The profit function is a mathematical function that reflects a company's or business's profit as a function of the number of products or services produced and sold.

The revenue generated by the boathouse with n boats is given by the monthly fee per boat multiplied by the number of boats, which is $900n.

The total cost to operate the boathouse with n boats is the fixed cost of $2750 plus the variable cost of $650 per boat, which is $2750 + $650n.

Therefore, the profit function of the boathouse is given by the revenue minus the cost:

p = 900n - (2750 + 650n)

Simplifying this expression, we get:

p = 250n - 2750

Thus, the answer is (c) p = 250n - 2750.
