The amount of tax on a chair was $3.60. The tax rate was 5%. Find the original price of the chair.

Bianca solved the problem below. Find Bianca’s error.

0.05(3.60) = Original price

The original price is $0.18.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $72.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between price and tax is ...

  tax amount = (tax rate) × (price)

Then the price can be found by dividing by the tax rate:

  price = (tax amount)/(tax rate)

  price = $3.60 / 0.05 = $72.00

The original price of the chair was $72.00.

__

Bianca apparently did not pay any attention to the way tax is computed. Nor did she check her work. The original price is not a small fraction of the tax. It is the other way around. Bianca used a wrong relationship between tax and price.

(Show answer in slope-intercept form.)

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = 2, y-intercept = -4

The equation of the line is y = 2x - 4

Slope-intercept Form: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = 2x - 4
The answer is y equals 2x - 4

A cement mixture costs $33 a ton. It is composed of Grade A cement at $36 a ton and Grade B cement at
$24 a ton. How were these two cements mixed?

Answers

If we used “a” tons of grade A and “b” tons of grade B we would get a + b tons of mixture.
Converting to costs we get 36a + 24b = 33(a + b)
36a + 24b = 33a + 33b
36a - 33a = 33b - 24b
3a = 9b
a = 3b
This means the mixture contains 3 times as much of grade A than grade B
The ratio of grade A : grade B = 3 : 1

For example if we mixed 3 tons of A with 1 ton of B we would get 4 tons of mixture
The cost would be 3 x 36 + 1 x 24 = 108 + 24 = $132 for 4 tons = $33 per ton

Which equation results from isolating a radical term and squaring both sides of the equation for the equation

[tex]c - 2 = 25 + 10 \sqrt c + c[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\sqrt{c-2} - \sqrt c = 5[/tex]

Required

Isolate radical, then square both sides

We have:

[tex]\sqrt{c-2} - \sqrt c = 5[/tex]

Isolate radical

[tex]\sqrt{c - 2} = 5 + \sqrt c[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex](\sqrt{c - 2})^2 = (5 + \sqrt c)^2[/tex]

find x on this special right triangle, 45 is not an option!!!!

Answers

let the line between 2 tria be y

sin 60/8√2 = sin 90/y

y=13.06

sin 45/13.06 = sin 90/x

x=18.46

Answer:

First, find the hypotenuse of the right triangle with the 60° & 30°.

Hypotenuse = hsin(x) = opposite side/hypotenuse

[tex]sin(60) = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{h} \\\\sin(60)h=8\sqrt{2}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} h=8\sqrt{2}\\\\h=\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}=8\sqrt{2}*\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} =\frac{16\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3}} =\frac{16\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}) }{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3})} =\frac{16\sqrt{6} }{3}[/tex]

Use that side length to find x.

sin(x) = opposite side/hypotenuse

[tex]sin(45)=\frac{\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}}{x}\\\\sin(45)x=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3} \\\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}x=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3} \\\\x=\frac{\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}*\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{16\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}(2)}{3\sqrt{2} }=\frac{32\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex]

12 workers take 4 hours to complete a job. How long would it take 15 workers to complete the job?

Answers

Answer:

3.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

12 workers * 4 hours = 48 worker hours

15 workers  * x hours = 48 worker hours

48 /15 =3.2 hours

Answer:

3 hours and 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 Workers complete a job in 4 hours

1 worker complete a job 12 × 4 = 48

15 workers complete a job = 48/15 = 3³/¹⁵ = 3¹/⁵

= 3 hours + 1/5 × 60  minutes = 3 hours 12 minutes.

You have to follow PEMDAS or parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. It's an order to solve equations. I listed the steps and the answers for you below :) I have throughly checked them so they should be correct! yw :D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5x + 4x - 6x = 24

9x - 6x = 24

3x = 24

24/3 = 8

x = 8

2. 8y + 5 - 4y + 1 = 46

8y - 4y = 4y

5 + 1 = 6

4y + 6 = 46

4y = 46 - 6

4y = 40

40/4 = 10

y = 10

3. 33 = 5 ( x + 8 ) + 3

33 =  5x + 40 + 3 (because we distributed)

33 = 5x + 43

5x + 43 = 33 (just rewriting it to make it easier)

5x = 33 - 43

5x = -10

-10/5 = -2

so x = - 2

4. 2m + 3 ( m - 8 ) = 1

2m + 3m - 24 = 1

we got 3m - 24 because we distributed the 3

5m - 24 = 1

5m = 25

25/5 = 5

m = 5

5. p + p - 2p + 4p = - 48

2p - 2p + 4p = - 48

4p = - 48

- 48 / 4 = - 12

p = - 12

6. 2 ( y + 5 ) + 3y = 25

2y + 10 + 3y = 25

5y + 10 = 25

5y = 25 - 10

5y = 15

15/5 = 3

y = 3

7. 1/4 h + 3/4 h + 1/2 h + 2 = 5

1/4 h + 3/4 h + 1/2 = 3/2 h

3/2 h + 2 = 5

3/2 h = 5 - 2

3/2 h = 3

h = 2

8. 60 = 4 ( k + 3 ) + 2 ( k - 3 )

60 = 4k + 12 + 2k - 6

4k + 12 + 2k - 6 = 60

6k + 6 = 60

6k = 60 - 6

6k = 54

k = 9

9. - 2 ( d + 1.4 ) - 1.8 = 20.6

-2d + - 2.8 - 1.8 = 20.6

-2d - 2.8 = 22.4

-2d = 25.2

d = - 12.6

10. 8 - 2 ( w + 4 ) = 10

8 + - 2 w + - 8 = 10

-2w + 9 + - 8 = 10

-2w = 10

10 / -2 = -5

w = -5

Rope pieces of lengths 45 cm, 75 cm and 81 cm have to be cut into same size pieces. What is the smallest piece length possible?​

Answers

Answer:

2025 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of pieces - 45 cm, 75 cm and 81 cm

To find the length of the rope we have to find the L.C.M. of 45, 75 and 81 :

       

3  |  45, 75, 81

    | ________________      

3  |  15, 25, 27

    |________________

3  |    5, 25, 9

    |________________

3  |    5, 25, 3

    |________________

5  |    5, 25, 1

    |________________

5  |     1, 5, 1

    |________________

    |      1, 1, 1

     

L.C.M. = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

= 2025 cm

So, the least length of the rope should be 2025 cm which can be cut into a whole number of pieces of length 45 cm, 75 cm and 81 cm.

Answers

The distance between each of the students' houses are:

Aakash & Bao Ying live 9 blocks away from each other

Aakash & Chris live 3 blocks away from each other

Aakash & Donna live 66 blocks away from each other

Bao Ying & Chris live 6 blocks away from each other

Bao Ying & Donna live 57 blocks away from each other

Chris & Donna live 63 blocks away from each other

To solve this question, we represent each with the first letter of their names.

So, we have:

[tex]A= 5\ west[/tex] --- Aakash

[tex]B= 4\ east[/tex] ---- Bao Ying

[tex]C = 2\ west[/tex] --- Chris

[tex]D = 61\ east[/tex] ---- Donna

I've added the picture and the number line that represent the scenario as an attachment.

To calculate how far each lives from each other's, we start by representing west as negative and east as positive.

So, the representations become:

[tex]A = -5[/tex]

[tex]B = 4[/tex]

[tex]C = -2[/tex]

[tex]D = 61[/tex]

The absolute difference of each represents how far they live from one another.

Aakash & Bao Ying         Aakash & Chris                 Aakash & Donna

[tex]AB = |-5 -4| =9[/tex]          [tex]AC = |-5 --2| =3[/tex]         [tex]AD = |-5 -61| =66[/tex]

Bao Ying & Chris                 Bao Ying & Donna

[tex]BC = |4 --2| =6[/tex]                [tex]BD = |4 -61| =57[/tex]

Chris & Donna

[tex]CD = |-2 -61| =63[/tex]

This means that

Aakash & Bao Ying live 9 blocks away from each other

Aakash & Chris live 3 blocks away from each other

Aakash & Donna live 66 blocks away from each other

Bao Ying & Chris live 6 blocks away from each other

Bao Ying & Donna live 57 blocks away from each other

Chris & Donna live 63 blocks away from each other

To carry out the above computations from the number line, we simply count the numbers from one to the other.

For instance:

There are 3 numbers from Akash to Chris.

This means that: Aakash & Chris live 3 blocks away from each other
