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>

Answer:

Part A. C=9

Part B. (w+3)² =139

Part C. w = 8.8 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given from the question length of the the picture = (2w+12) inches

Width of the picture = w inches

Area of the picture = 260 inch²

Part A. Area of the picture with the given dimensions= w×(2w+12)

Or w(2w+12) = 260

2w²+12w = 260

2(w²+6w) = 2×(130)

w²+6w = 130

Or w²+6w +9 = 130+9 ⇒ which is in the form of w²+6w+c = 130+c

Therefore for c = 9 we will get a perfect square trinomial.

Part B. As we have seen the equation in part A.

As required equation will be (w+3)²=139

Part C. Since (w+3)² = 139

Then by taking under root on both the sides of the equation

(w+3) =√139 = 11.8

(w+3)-3=11.8-3

w = 8.8 inch

An $42 item was marked down by 50%<br><br> what is the new cost of the item?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

New Cost of item is \$ 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original Cost of item = \$ 42

Item was marked down by 50\%

To Calculate Cost after 50\% marked  down we need to multiply original cost by 50 and then divide by hundred.

Cost after  marked down = \frac{42 \times 50}{100}= \$21

Now New cost of the item is calculated by Subtracting Cost after 50\% marked down by Original Cost of item.

New cost of the item =  \$ 42 - \$ 21 = \$21

Vesna [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • Option B
  • Option C
  • Option E

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <em>Option B is true because both of the terms are constants. Hence, they are like terms.</em>
  • <em>Option C is true because the coefficient of a term is basically the constant. If there is no constant, then the coefficient is 1.</em>
  • <em>Option E is true because the expression has been multiplied by 5. </em>
