Mathematics

Answer:

It depends on the demand for them.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the demand or desire for them goes up then the tax goes up. Just like Clorox in stores it is $14 dollars now when it used to be $4. And 3 packages of Clorox wipes is about $100. There is a big demand for sanitation products now!

seraphim [82]

Answer:

x= 1/22 and y=-1/4 (I'm assuming that the equal signs are the only separators of the equation sequence, since there is no indicator that the so-called "sentences" are actually apart.

How do you use proportions to solve percent problems​
exis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

EXAMPLE #1:

What number is 75% of 4?   (or   Find 75% of 4.)

The PERCENT always goes over 100.

   (It's a part of the whole 100%.)

4 appears with the word of:

   It's the WHOLE and goes on the bottom.

A proportion showing one fraction  with PART as the numerator and 4 as the denominator equal to another fraction with 75 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator.

We're trying to find the missing PART (on the top).

In a proportion the cross-products are equal:   So 4 times 75 is equal to 100 times the PART.

The missing PART equals 4 times 75 divided by 100.

(Multiply the two opposite corners with numbers; then divide by the other number.)

4 times 75 = 100 times the part

300 = 100 times the part

300/100 = 100/100 times the part

3 =   the part

A proportion showing the denominator,  4, times the diagonally opposite 75; divided by  100.

Which expression is equivalent to:1/m6
Valentin [98]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

6 is a power. So both C and D are wrong because 6 is being treated as an ordinary integer.

So the answer must be either A or B.

B is not correct because to move an expression from the denominator to the numerator changes the sign in the base (which is m in this  question).

A is correct. the power is changed from 6 in the denominator to -6 in the numerator. m is shifted to the numerator as well.

Y-5=-1/2(x+7) (find the slope)
sashaice [31]

It's the slope-point formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have:

y-5=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+7)

Therefore, the slope m=-\dfrac{1}{2}
