Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Nightly cost = x

x × 5% = Sales Tax

Total Cost : Percentage

189 : 105%

x : 100%

Cross multiply:

189 × 100% = 105% × x

189 = 1.05x

189 ÷ 1.05 = x

x = 180

Can you help me with number 3? Please!!!!

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take it step by step.

The area of a rectangle is width times length.

We know the length is 7 since it's given, and we can find the width by adding shared sides of the square and triangle.

So the width is 10 + 14 or 24

That means the area of the rectangle is 7 * 24

The area of the second rectangle is 12 * 14, since they are both given.

Finally, the area of the triangle is 1/2 of the base times height and we can find the height by looking at the shared side and using the definition of a rectangle.

So the area of the triangle is 1/2 of 10 * 12.

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

14.52 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation $y=-16x^2+224x+121$ . We are asked to find the time, when the rocket will hit the ground.

We know that the rocket will hit the ground, when height will be 0. So to find the time when rocket will hit the ground, we will substitute $y=0$ in our given equation as:

$0=-16x^2+224x+121$

Let us solve for x using quadratic formula.

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-224\pm\sqrt{224^2-4(-16)(121)}}{2(-16)}$

$x=\frac{-224\pm\sqrt{50176+7744}}{-32}$

$x=\frac{-224\pm\sqrt{57920}}{-32}$

$x=\frac{-224\pm240.66574}{-32}$

$x=\frac{-224+240.66574}{-32}, x=\frac{-224-240.66574}{-32}$

$x=\frac{16.66574}{-32}, x=\frac{-464.66574}{-32}$

$x=-0.520804375, x=14.520804375$

Upon rounding to nearest 100th of second, we will get:

$x\approx -0.52, x\approx 14.52$

Since time cannot be negative, therefore, the rocket will hit the ground after 14.52 seconds.

I don't know how to do it I'm completely lost I asked my mom and brother and even Googled it NOTHING!!! Can you please help me??

31/18 is the answer.
To solve, find the common denominator. In this case, I used 54. You need to multiply each fraction to get 54 on the denominator of both.

The total amount that was spent is $6099

<h3>How to determine the total amount that was spent?</h3>

The given parameters are

Number of kids = 99

Pass = $56 per kid

Arcade game = $555

The total amount that was spent is calculated as

Total = Number of kids * Pass + Arcade game

So, we have

Total = 99 * 56 + 555

Evaluate the expression

Total = 6099

Hence, the total amount that was spent is $6099
