40 x 0.04 = $1.60

Make 4% a decimal, which is .04 and multiply that by the price, 40.00$ to get the tax, which is 1.60$, add this to 40.00$ to equal 41.60$

Select all the expressions with accurately written descriptions.

Paha777 [63]

Let's try to divide the sentence into multiple parts and then combine it one by one to make it easier to understand.

1. True
2 times y and 6 -------->(2y+6)
the square of the sum of "2 times y and 6" -------->(2y+6)^2
8 times "the square of the sum of 2 times y and 6"------> 8(2y+6)^2

2. True
the difference of x and 7 -------->(x-7)
9 and x -------->(9 + x)
2 times the product of the sum of
"9 and x" and "the difference of x and 7"-------> 2(9 + x) (x-7)

3. True
difference of 5 times x and 3 -------->(5x-3)
the square of the difference of 5 times x and 3------->(5x-3)^2

4. False
The description should be: the product of 7 and the square of x
the product of 7 and x -------->(7x)
the square of the product of 7 and x -------->(7x)^2

5. True
This one should be clear as it was one sentences
the sum of y squared(y^2) and three times y(3y) minus 4-------->y^2+ 3y -4

6. False
The description should be: the product of 5 and 8 times the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8
the sum of 20x and 8 -------->20x+8
8 plus the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8-------->8+ x^2 +20x+8
the product of 5 and.... ------->(5)(........
the product of 5 and
8 plus the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8---->(5)(8+ x^2 +20x+8)

If n+h/5=f+9/9, then n/5=

Ann [662]

------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n+h}{5} = \frac{f+9}{9}}$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Split the fraction on the left
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n}{5} + \frac{h}{5} = \frac{f + 9}{9}}$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Take away h/5 from both sides
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n}{5} = \frac{f+9}{9} - \frac{h}{5}}$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Change the denominator to be the same
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n}{5} = \frac{5f+45}{45} - \frac{9h}{45}}$

------------------------------------------------------------------
Put it into single fraction
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed { \frac{n}{5} = \frac{5f+45-9h}{45} }$

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Rearrange (This step may not be necessary)
------------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed {\frac{n}{5} = \frac{5f-9h+ 45}{45} }$

$\bf \Longrightarrow \ Answer \ : \boxed {\boxed {\frac{n}{5} = \frac{5f-9h+ 45}{45} }}$
