After sales tax, a $600 antique clock costs $642. What is the sales tax percentage?

Answer:

Answer is 7% sales Tax

Step-by-step explanation:

I first like to take one percent of the original value, in this case 1% of 600 is 6 dollars. I then multiply 6 by the number needed to get to 642, which is 107- you will always then subtract 100 from this number and you get 7%. This should work for other problems as well. This is probably not the best explanation btw

well, clearly the tax is the added 42 bucks, so hmmm if we take 600 to be the 100%, how much is 42 off of it in percentage?

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 600 & 100\\ 42& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{600}{42}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{100}{7}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 100x=700\implies x=\cfrac{700}{100}\implies x=7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B(2,10); D(6,2)

Midpoint(x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2) = M ( 2+6/2, 10+2/2) = M(8/2, 12/2) = M(4,6)

Rhombus all sides are equal.

AB = BC = CD =AD

distance = √(x2-x1)² + (y2- y1)²

As A lies on x-axis, it y-co ordinate = 0; Let its x-co ordinate be x

A(X,0)

AB = AD

√(2-x)² + (10-0)² = √(6-x)² + (2-0)²

√(2-x)² + (10)² =  √(6-x)² + (2)²

√x² -4x +4 + 100 =  √x²-12x+36 + 4

√x² -4x + 104 =  √x²-12x+40

square both sides,

x² -4x + 104 =  x²-12x+40

x² -4x - x²+ 12x = 40 - 104

             8x = -64

               x = -64/8

               x = -8

A(-8,0)

Let C(a,b)

M is AC midpoint

(-8+a/2, 0 + b/2)  = M(4,6)

     (-8+a/2, b/2)  = M(4,6)

Comparing;  

-8+a/2 = 4          ; b/2 = 6

  -8+a = 4*2       ; b = 6*2

  -8+a = 8          ; b = 12

        a = 8 +8

       a = 16

Hence, C(16,12)

On the 1st January 2014 Carol invested some money in a bank account.
Ghella [55]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{\pounds 23 360.00}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the accrued amount from compound interest is

A = P \left(1 + \dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

1. Amount in account on 1 Jan 2015

(a) Data:

a = £23 517.60

r = 2.5 %

n = 1

t = 1 yr

(b) Calculations:  

r = 0.025

\begin{array}{rcl}23517.60 & = & P\left (1 + \dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}\\\\& = & P\left (1 + \dfrac{0.025}{1}\right)^{1\times1}\\\\& = & P (1 + 0.025)\\ & = & 1.025 P\\P & = & \dfrac{23517.60 }{1.025} \\\\& = & 22 944.00 \\\end{array}

The amount that gathered interest was £22 944.00 but, before the interest started accruing, Carol had withdrawn £1000 from the account.

She must have had £23 944 in her account on 1 Jan 2015.

(2) Amount originally invested

(a) Data

A = £23 944.00

\begin{array}{rcl}23 944.00 & = & 1.025 P\\P & = & \dfrac{23 944.00 }{1.025} \\\\& = & \mathbf{23 360.00} \\\end{array}\\\text{Carol originally invested $\large \boxed{\textbf{\pounds23 360.00}}$ in her account.}

3. Summary

1 Jan 2014      P = £23 360.00

1 Jan 2015     A =    23 944.00

     Withdrawal = <u>    -1  000.00 </u>

                     P =     22 944.00

1 Jan 2016    A =    £23 517.60

lara [203]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of shelves must be a factor of the number of books from each category. (Because you are using multiple shelves). You are looking for the greatest amount, so you need to greatest, common factor (GCF) from each bunch of books.

GCF of 12, 16, 32 is 4.
