Hey there!

The first step of this problem would be to add together our two percentages, then convert that percentage into a decimal by dividing by 100. 

15% + 7% = 22%

22 ÷ 100 = 0.22

It can be assumed here that 22% of the cost will be added tax and tip. We can use 0.22 to represent that percentage in our problem. Just multiply that decimal by the maximum amount of money they want to spend, $60, to get the amount that will just be tax and tip. Finally, subtract the tax and tip from $60 to find the most they can spend on the meal itself. 

60 × 0.22 = 13.20

60 – 13.20 = 46.80

The total amount they can spend is 46.80. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Find the sum of the constants a, h, and k such that
ra1l [238]

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of "a" is the coefficient of x^2, so we know that is 2.

__

<u>Solve for h</u>

Now, we have ...

  2x^2 -8x +7 = 2(x -h)^2 +k

Expanding the right side gives us ...

  = 2(x^2 -2hx +h^2) +k

  = 2x^2 -4hx +2h^2 +k

Comparing x-terms, we see ...

  -4hx = -8x

  h = (-8x)/(-4x) = 2

__

<u>Solve for k</u>

Now, we're left with ...

  2h^2 +k = 7 = 2(2^2) +k = 8 +k

Subtracting 8 we find k to be ...

  k = 7 -8 = -1

__

And the sum of constants a, h, and k is ...

  a +h +k = 2 +2 -1 = 3

The sum of the constants is 3.

helium gas accounts for less than 0.01% of Earth's atmosphere gases. write this percentage as a decimal and as a mixed number or
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: 0.01% in decimal form=0.0001 and in fraction form=1/10000


Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 To convert the percentage in decimal form.

A percentage is a ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

So, 0.01% means 0.01 out of 100.

Therefore,

0.01%= 0.01/100

0.01%= 0.0001

Step 2: Convert the decimal in fraction form.

Remove the point by dividing by 10000

0.01%= 1/10000

The meaning of the result is that helium account for less than one part per 10000 parts of Earth’s atmosphere gases.

The trigonometric ratios cosine and cotangent are reciprocals of each other true or false
Naya [18.7K]

That's FALSE.


In the first quadrant the co functions decrease with increasing angles while the non-co functions increase with angle in the first quadrant.


Since reciprocals move in the opposite direction, each reciprocal pair is a co functions and a non co function. So we're FALSE here since we have two co functions, which can't be reciprocals.


In our case, the reciprocal of cosine is secant, and the reciprocal of cotangent is tangent.

When estimating the number of spheres contained in a prism we should account for the empty space between the spheres. To do this
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

B. 8.0 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find 190% of the volume of a gumball which is a sphere.

To find 190% of a quantity, multiply the quantity by 1.9.

volume of sphere = (4/3)(pi)(r^3)

diameter = d = 2 in.

radius = r = (1/2)d = (1/2)(2 in.) = 1 in.

volume of sphere = (4/3)(3.14159)(1 in.)^3 = 4.189 in.^3

The volume of a gumball is 4.189 in.^3

Now we need 190% of that volume.

190% of volume of sphere = 1.9 * volume = 1.9 * 4.189 in.^3 = 7.959 in.^3

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume is

B. 8.0 cubic inches
