You plan to buy $12,000 in computers at a local chain store. There are two stores located about the same distance from your offi

ce but in different cities with different tax rates. One city has a tax rate of 7% and the other has a tax rate of 8.5%. What percent can you save by going with the lower tax rate? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

Lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city:
city1 = 12000(7%) = 12000(0.07) = 840
city2 = <span>12000(8.5%) = 12000(0.085) = 1020
So if you go to city1 instead of city2, you save 1020 - 840 = 180
So you would save $180 from $12000, that is:
 180 out of 12000
= 180/12000
= 0.015
and that is the 1.5%, that is what you could save</span>

Cheryl is planning to go to a four-year college in two years. She develops a monthly savings plan using the estimates shown. Wha
Alik [6]

Answer:

$541.67 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Tuition and other expenses = $8,250 per semester.

There are two semesters in a year

She has 4 years to spend

Total semester=4years*2semesters

=8 semesters

4 years in college which is a total of 8 semesters.

Total Tuition and other expenses = $8,250 * 8

= $66,000

She needs a total of $66,00 to complete her college

Assistance from parents=$15,000

Financial aid(per semester)=$4750

Total financial aid=$38,000

Total assistance=

Assistance from parents+ financial aid

=$15000+$38,000

=$53,000

Total savings=Total amount needed - Total assistance

=$66,000 - $53,000

=$13,000

She needs to save $13,000 in two years

There are 12 months in one year

2 years=2*12=24 months

Monthly savings=Total savings/24 months

=$13,000/24

=$541.666666

To the nearest cent

=$541.67

From a point A that is 8.20 m above level ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a building s 31 deg 20 min and the angle
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

30.11 meters ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance of a point P ( lies on the building ) from the top of the building such that AP is perpendicular to the building and y be the distance of the building from point A, ( shown in the below diagram )

Given,

Point A is 8.20 m above level ground,

So, the height of the building = ( x + 8.20 ) meters,

Now, 1 degree = 60 minutes,

⇒ 1\text{ minute } =\frac{1}{60}\text{ degree }

20\text{ minutes }=\frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}\text{ degree}

50\text{ minutes }=\frac{50}{60}=\frac{5}{6}\text{ degree}

By the below diagram,

tan ( 12^{\circ} 50') = \frac{8.20}{y}

tan(12+\frac{5}{6})^{\circ}=\frac{8.20}{y}

tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}=\frac{8.20}{y}

\implies y=\frac{8.20}{tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}}

Now, again by the below diagram,

tan (31^{\circ}20')=\frac{x}{y}

tan(31+\frac{1}{3})=\frac{x}{y}

\implies x=y\times tan(\frac{94}{3})=\frac{8.20}{tan (\frac{77}{6})^{\circ}}\times tan(\frac{94}{3})^{\circ}=21.9142943216\approx 21.91

Hence, the height of the building = x + 8.20 = 30.11 meters (approx)
