Ron wants to buy a video game with a selling price of ?$36?, on sale for? 50% off. The sales tax in his state is 5.5 %. How much

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Yes, it costs $18.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

The game is originally $36 and a game 50% off is 36/2 = $18.

The sale price is $18.

The state charges 5.5% tax which means you pay 105.5% of the sale price.

1.055(18) = 18.99

The final total is 18.99 which means Ron's $19 is enough.

joe weighs 20lbs.less yhantwice jeffs weight.if jeff would gain 10lbs.,then together they wouldweigh 250lbs. how much does each

masya89 [10]

So,

Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.

"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20

"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250

We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250

Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250

We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250

Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250

Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260

Divide both sides by 3.
$Jeff's\ weight = 86 \frac{2}{3} \ lbs.$

Substitute again.
$x = 2(86 \frac{2}{3} )-20$

Multiply.
$x = 173 \frac{1}{3} -20$

Subtract.
$Joe's\ weight = 153 \frac{1}{3}\ lbs.$

Check.

"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.

"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.

$Joe's\ weight\ is\ 153 \frac{1}{3} \ lbs.$
$Jeff's\ weight\ is\ 86 \frac{2}{3} \ lbs.$

Solve the right triangle. Round decimal answers to the nearest tenth. find the sides and angles

babymother [125]

Answer:

b = 12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a*2 + b*2 = c*2

6*2 + b*2 = 14*2

36 + b*2 = 196

Subtract 36 from both sides

36 + b*2 = 196

-36 -36

b*2 = 160

Find the square root of both

b = 12.64911064 or 12.6
