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

onsider the equation 0.5 times e4z =13 solve the equation for z. express the solution as a logarithm in base e

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

$z=\frac{ln(26)}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$0.5\,e^{4z}=13$

so, we first isolate the exponential form that contains the unknown "z" in the exponent, by dividing both sides by 0.5:

$0.5\,e^{4z}=13\\e^{4z}=\frac{13}{0.5}\\e^{4z}=26$

Now we bring the exponent down by applying the natural log function on both sides, and then solve for "z":

$e^{4z}=26\\ln(e^{4z})=ln(26)\\4\,z=ln(26)\\z=\frac{ln(26)}{4}$

If the area of a circle is 121pi square units, what is its diameter

svetlana [45]

The area of a circle is A = r^2pi
Since the area is equal to 121pi the equation would be, 121pi = r^2. To find r in terms of pi take the square root of 121, to find the radius. Then multiply that by two to get the diameter.

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y=-3/4x+6 and passes through the point (3,9)

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

$y=\frac{4}{3}x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line y= -3/4+6 in the comments has slope -3/4. A perpendicular line will have the negative reciprocal of -3/4. It's 4/3.

To write the equation, substitute 4/3 and the point (3,9) into

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

$y-9=\frac{4}{3}(x-3)\\\\y-9=\frac{4}{3}x -\frac{4*3}{3}\\\\y-9=\frac{4}{3}x-4\\\\y=\frac{4}{3}x+5$
