Using proportions, it is found that the federal tax rate is of 10%.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The tax rate is the <u>proportion that $17.50 is of $175</u>, hence:

r = 17.50/175 = 0.1 = 10%.

The federal tax rate is of 10%.

REPEATED REASONING What happens to the circumference and the area of a circle when you double the radius? triple the radius?
GalinKa [24]

Answer: So when you double the radius, the area goes up by 4 times because 2 squared is 4. The area will always go up by the square of how much the radius goes up. By contrast, the circumference will only double -- from 12.56 to 25.12 because you do not square the radius (or diameter) -- you just multiply it by pi.

Y + 6.2x = −13, when x = −4
alexgriva [62]
You would multiply 6.2 by -4 which is -24.8 so then the equation is y+-24.8=-13 then add -24.8 to both sides and it will be y=11.8
