The sales tax rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of sales tax = $49

Price of dining room set = $980

Sales tax rate = $\frac{Amount\ of\ sales\ tax}{Price\ of\ dining\ room\ set}*100$

Sales taxa rate = $\frac{49}{980}*100$

$Sales\ tax\ rate=\frac{4900}{980}\\Sales\ tax\ rate=5\%$

The sales tax rate is 5%.

4 friends have more than 7 stickers and less than 13 stickers they share the stickers evenly how many stickers NEED HELP

mash [69]

Well, there can be two answers. So, plus 3 other friends (4 people total) are sharing stickers.
To answer this, all you need to do is count by four.
4 is not greater than 7 so can not be the answer
4+4 or 8 IS greater than 7 and less than 13 so it can be the answer
4+4+4 or 12 IS ALSO GREATER THAN 7 and less than 13 so it can be the answer
4+4+4+4 is 16 and is greater than 13 so it cannot be the answer
SO it is either 8 or 12 stickers

Gennadij [26K]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this problem we have a pumpkin is launched from the top of a 20 foot tall platform at an initial velocity of 84 feet per second. So the height, h, of the pumpkin at time t seconds after the launch can be modeled by the equation:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 84t + 20$

So this is the equation of a parabola. The maximum of this parabola occurs at its vertex. So let's find this vertex:

$\text{The x-value of the vertex is}: \\ \\ t=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ a=-16 \\ \\ b=84 \\ \\ c=20 \\ \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{-32} \\ \\ t=\frac{21}{8}=2.625 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-16(2.625)^2+84(2.625)+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-110.25+220.5+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=130.25m$
