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

The geometric mean of the numbers is 5.38

Given the values a, b, c and d

Geometric mean of the values will be expressed as:

GM = (abcd)^1/4

Given the values 4, 5, 6 and 7, the geometric mean will be expressed as:

GM = (4×5×6×7)^1/4

GM = (840)^1/4

GM = 5.38

Hence the geometric mean of the numbers is 5.38.

Find P(A or B) if the events are disjointed. P(A) =6/25 , and P(B) =9/25 .
nevsk [136]
Here, "disjointed" signifiies that Event A and Event B are independent; neither outcome influences the other.  In such a case, the union of A and B is given by the sum of the two probabilities P(A) and P(B).

Here, that sum is P(A or B) = 6/25 + 9/25, or 15/25, or 0.6.
