About 11% - I first subtracted 250 from 282, to get 32. I then did 32/282 to get .11.... You round that out to about 11%

What is 1.208 rounded to the nearest hundredth

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The answer is 1.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hundredth digit in 1.208 is 0, so you have to look at the number after that to either round 0 up or down. The number after 0 is 8. Since 8 is bigger than 5, you round 0 up by 1.

I hope this was clear!

If something cost2.99$ what is the total cost with taxes

butalik [34]

Without a lot more information, nobody can say. Every city, state, and county
can have its own taxes. They may be at a different rate from other cities, states,
and counties, and they may apply to different items.

What is the simplified form of √144x^36

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The simplified form of $\sqrt{144x^{36}}$ is $12x^{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $\sqrt{144x^{36}}$

We have to write the simplified form of $\sqrt{144x^{36}}$

Consider the given expression $\sqrt{144x^{36}}$

We know $\sqrt{144}=12$

and $\sqrt{x^{36}}=\sqrt{x^{18}\cdot x^{18}}$

Thus,

$\sqrt{144x^{36}}=\sqrt{12^2\cdot (x^{18})^2}$

Simplify, we have,

$=\sqrt{12^2\cdot (x^{18})^2}=12x^{18}$

Thus, The simplified form of $\sqrt{144x^{36}}$ is $12x^{18}$
