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>

A polyhedron has 8 vertices and 14 edges. How many faces must it have?
Scorpion4ik [409]
We know that

The Euler's formula state that, the number of vertices, minus the number of edges, plus the number of faces, is equal to two

V - E + F = 2
clear F
F=2-V+E

in this problem
V=8
E=14
F=?
so
F=2-8+14
F=8

the answer is
8 faces

Solve the system of equations by substitution: y = x - 2
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 2

x + y = 12

Substitute the first expression for y into the second equation.

x + (x - 2) = 12

2x - 2 = 12

2x = 14

x = 7

Now plug into either equation to find y.

y = 7 - 2

y = 5

So the solution is (7, 5).
