Value of Boat = $ 175,000

Property Tax = $2,883

To determine tax rate, we can use the formula:

Tax Rate (%) = \frac{Property Tax}{Value of the Boat} × 100

⇒ Tax Rate (%) = \frac{2883}{175000} × 100

⇒ Tax Rate = 1.647428.... %

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth (i.e. till 2 decimal places):

Tax Rate = 1.65% [Since after 1.64 then next digit is 7, which is greater than 5, hence 4 will change to 5 when rounded off]

Hence, the answer is 1.65% tax rate was charged on the boat

Hello!

To find this you have to find what 55% of 20 is

grin007 [14]

Answer:

what i did was multiply 33*6 and got 198 and then 228-198 to find out that the initial fee was 30 dollars. then multiply 33*9+30 to get a  9-month total cost of $327

Step-by-step explanation:

cost = $33 per month + fee  

1.  c(m) = 33m + f

 33(6) + f = 228

198 + f = 228

f = $30 membership fee  

c(m) = 33m + 30

 2.  at 9 months:  33(9) + 30 = $327

hopefully this helps :)

have a nice day !!

Lake has a total of $10,000 to invest in two accounts. One account earns 1% simple interest, and the other earns 10% simple inte
Elza [17]

Answer:

  1. $8000 at 1%
  2. $2000 at 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to let a variable represent the amount invested at the higher rate. Then an equation can be written relating amounts invested to the total interest earned.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

Let x represent the amount invested at 10%. Then 10000-x is the amount invested at 1%. The total interest earned is ...

  0.10x +0.01(10000 -x) = 280

<h3>solution</h3>

Simplifying gives ...

  0.09x +100 = 280

  0.09x = 180 . . . . . . . subtract 100

  x = 2000 . . . . . . divide by 0.09

  10000 -x = 8000 . . . . amount invested at 1%

<h3>1.</h3>

$8000 should be invested in the 1% account

<h3>2.</h3>

$2000 should be invested in the 10% account
