Please Help! I need help to my math question

dem82 [27]

First you need to get rid of the parenthesis by distributing the 0.6 to each term inside.
(0.6)(10n) + (0.6)(25) =10+5n
6n +15 = 10+5n subtract the 5n on both sides and subtract 15 from both sides
6n-5n = 10-15
n=-5

The price of a television before tax is $1625.00. The total price with tax is $1,803.75. What is the rate of the sales tax?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

11%

Step-by-step explanation:

A sales tax is placed on goods and services once the buyer and seller agree on what the exchange of currency is.

In this case you take the tax on the 1625 and not the 1803.75.

The buyer agreed to buy the item for 1625 and the seller agreed to sell it for that amount. So the tax goes on 1625.

Tax amount = total price - selling price

Tax amount = 1803.75 - 1625

Tax amount = 178.75

That's not what you want. You want the % of the tax.

% Tax = (Tax Amount / Selling Price) * 100

% Tax = (178.75 / 1625) * 100

% Tax = 0.11 * 100

% Tax = 11% Answer

1. If a side started out with a side length of 11 and ended with a side length of 71 what is the dilation's scale factor? Write

jeka57 [31]

Regarding dilation, it is found that:

1. The scale factor is of 6.45

2. The scale factor is of 1.4375.

3. the image will be smaller than the pre-image.

<h3>Dilation</h3>

A dilation is one type of transformation that is applied to images, in which the side lengths are multiplied by a constant called scale factor, changing the side lengths of the image.

In item a, the initial length was of 11 and the final length is of 71, hence the multiplier, which is the scale factor, is given as follows:

71/11 = 6.45.

In item b, the initial length was of 16 and the final length was of 23, hence the scale factor is given as follows:

23/16 = 1.4375.

For item 3, the multiplier is a number that is less than 1, meaning that the image is smaller than the pre-image.
