Answer:  The required sales tax rate is 4.83%.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Percy paid 24.10 for a basketball and the price of a basketball was 22.99.

We are to find the sales tax rate.

According to the given information, the sales tax is given by

S.T.=24.10-22.99=1.11.

Therefore, the sales tax rate is given by

\dfrac{1.11}{22.99}\times100\%=\dfrac{111}{22.99}\%=4.83\%.

Thus, the required sales tax rate is 4.83%.

So, he paid 24.10 with the tax included, without the tax is 22.99, thus 24.10 - 22.99 or 1.11 is the tax amount.

now, if we take 22.99 to be the 100%, how much is 1.11 off of it in percentage?

 \bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
22.99&100\\
1.11&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{22.99}{1.11}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{1.11\cdot 100}{22.99}

17. Admission prices to Cinema I to see a movie are $9.50 for an adult and $6.50 for a child. The admission charge at Cinema II
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. 9.5x + 6.5(x+c) < 8   when c>0

b. Must be one child more than the no. of adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Cinema 1:

for adult = $9.50

for child = $6.50

For Cinema 2:

Per person regardless of age = $8.00

First of all, we will find out the condition when per person rates in both cinema are equal.

Assume x = no. of adults

y = no. of children

Rate per person in Cinema I = Rate per person in Cinema II

(9.5x + 6.5y)/(x+y)   =   8

9.5x + 6.5y = 8(x+y)

9.5x + 6.5y = 8x + 8y

9.5x-8x = 8y-6.5y

=> x = y

So rates are equal when no. of adults equals no. of children

For Cinema I to have better rates, no. of children should be atleast 1 more than the no. of adult. In this way the rate per person of Cinema I will be less than 8

Hence we form an inequality when y = x+c and c > 0

9.5x + 6.5(x+c) < 8   when c>0

Hence there must be 1 more children than the no. of adults attending Cinema I for it to be a better deal.

PLZ HELP ASAP AREA OF A SECTOR
const2013 [10]
The fraction of a circle represented by the shaded region is:
 S '/ S = ((8/5) * pi * r) / (2 * pi * r)
 Rewriting we have:
 S '/ S = ((8/5)) / (2)
 S '/ S = 8/10
 S '/ S = 4/5
 Then, we can make the following rule of three:
 (64/5) pi -------> 4/5
 x ----------------> 1
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((1) / (4/5)) * ((64/5) pi)
 Rewriting:
 x = (5/4) * ((64/5) pi)
 x = (5/4) * ((64/5) pi)
 x = 50.24
 Answer:
 
The area of the complete circle is:
 
x = 50.24
