Answer: She bought 5 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out how much one orange costs first, so we do:

$2.34 ÷ 6<u>or</u> = $0.39

Thirty-nine cents is how much one orange cost.

Now you multiply the initial value of 1 orange by 5, so:

$0.39 x 5 = $1.95, $1.95 =5 oranges

You can also do $1.95 divided by $0.39 which is 5.

(you can multiply till you find the number or divide the given number by the other divided number)

Therefore, that means Mav bought 5 oranges.

Answer:

5 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this problem we need to make a cross-multiplication equation

2.34 is to 6 as 1.95 is to ?

? is the number of oranges that are needed to be found that were bought

2.34/6 = 1.95/?

Now we cross multiply 6 and 1.95 = 11.7

11.7/2.34 = 5

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Sales tax is 8.33 % of new total

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Your bill =1000

New total 60%=1000*60/100=600

5% sale tax on whole bill price =1000*5/100=50

To deduct 5% sale tax in 60% of new total the % are=50/600=0.0833*100=8.33%

So,

Sale tax is 8.33% of new total 60%.

A bank loaned out 12,000 part of it at a rate of 8% per year and the rest at 18% per year. If the interest recurved in one year

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$11,600

Step-by-step explanation:

amount loaned at 8% and ($12,000 - x) = amount loaned at 18%

Write the equation: (change the percents to decimals: 8% = 0.08 and 18% = 0.18)

(0.08)x + (0.18)($12,000 - x) = $1,000

This expresses the total amount of earned interest in terms of the amounts of the loan, x and ($12,000 - x}.

0.08x + $2,160 - 0.18x = $1,000 Simplify and solve for x.

-0.1x = -$1,160 Divide both sides by -0.1

x = $11.600 The amount loaned at 8% interest.

1.

Parallelogram with base a = 20 in. and height h = 16 in.
Triangle with base a = 20 in. and height b = 8 in.

so:

$A = A_P+A_T=a\cdot h+\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot b=20\cdot16+\frac{1}{2}\cdot20\cdot8=320+80=\\\\=\boxed{400\text{ in}^2}$

2.

Trapezoid with base b₁ = 14 cm, base b₂ = 4 cm and height h = 10 cm
Triangle with base b₁ = 14 cm and height x = 18 cm - 10 cm = 8 cm

so:

$A=A_T+A_\Delta=\frac{1}{2}\cdot(b_1+b_2)\cdot h+\frac{1}{2}\cdot b_1\cdot x=\\\\=
\frac{1}{2}\cdot(14+4)\cdot 10+\frac{1}{2}\cdot 14\cdot8=\frac{1}{2}\cdot18\cdot 10+\frac{1}{2}\cdot 14\cdot8=90+56=\\\\=\boxed{146\text{ cm}^2}$

3.

We have three rectangles:

$A=A_1+A_2+A_3=1\cdot 4+6\cdot5+18\cdot6=4+30+108=\boxed{142\text{ ft}^2}$

4.

Area of a circle:

$A_\circ=\pi\cdot r^2=3.14\cdot5^2=3.14\cdot25=78.5 \text{ cm}^2$

Area of a rectangle:

$A_R=8\cdot 6=48\text{ cm}^2$

Area of the shaded region:

$A=A_\circ-A_R=78.5-48=\boxed{30.5\text{ cm}^2}$
