Santino bought a book for $23.54. The price of the book was $22. What was the sales-tax rate?

We first find value of tax in dollars.

The difference between the two prices  is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

Therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

The tax % will be  (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100 → (0.07) × 100 =  7

So the tax rate is 7%

We can double check the answer.

7 % of 22  → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54

The five-number summary for the number of accounts managed by each sales manager at Force Inc. is shown in the following table.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Min = 35

Q1 = 45

Median = 50

Q3 = 65

Max = 85

The median is the middle of the distribution; 50% is below the median and 50% is above.

The median is 50, so about 50% of sales managers manage fewer than 50 accounts.

On which number line do the points represent negative seven and one over two and +1?
MaRussiya [10]
A number line is used in the mathematical positioning of real numbers that include the numbers from positive infinity to negative infinity. This includes rational, irrational, fractions, and whole numbers. In this case, we are given with an expression that we have to reduce to lowest terms: negative seven and one over two and +1. The first one is equal to -7.5 while the other one is equal to +1. Positive numbers lie on the right side of zero (center of the line) while negative numbers lie on the left on the other hand. -7.5 lies between -8 and -7 while +1 lies exactly between 0 and 2. Both of which are positive numbers.

Please help!! x = 2 - 3 cos t, y = 1 + 4 sin t in rectangular form?<br><br> thank you! :)
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

\frac{(x-2)^2}{9}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x=2-3\cos(t)

y=1+4\sin(t)

Let's solve for \cos(t) in the first equation and then solve for \sin(t) in the second equation.

I will then use the following identity to get right of the parameter, t:

\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t)=1 (Pythagorean Identity).

Let's begin with x=2-3\cos(t).

Subtract 2 on both sides:

x-2=-3\cos(t)

Divide both sides by -3:

\frac{x-2}{-3}=\cos(t)

Now time for the second equation, y=1+4\sin(t).

Subtract 1 on both sides:

y-1=4\sin(t)

Divide both sides by 4:

\frac{y-1}{4}=\sin(t)

Now let's plug it into our Pythagorean Identity:

\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t)=1

\frac{x-2}{-3})^2+(\frac{y-1}{4})^2=1

\frac{(x-2)^2}{(-3)^2}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{4^2}=1

\frac{(x-2)^2}{9}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1
