Okay, so the first thing you need to do is find the difference.

64.19 - 59.99 = 4.20

So the percentage is determined by dividing that difference by the cost of the item originally:

4.20 / 59.99 = about .07

Next, you change this number to a percentage by moving the decimal to the right two spaces, so that would be 7%.

Therefore, the sales tax in the area is 7%.

The total cost to attend the university Daniel wants to attend is going to be $12,000 for the first year.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$395.83

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve, we first need to subtract what we already have, first the scholarship, wich is a set amount being taken from the original amount

12'000 - 2'500 = 9'500

now we have the second subtracting factor, but this one isn't set in stone and defined, it is half of the amount his parents will pay, so what we can do is divide what we have by two, wich will give us 2 halves

9'500 / 2 = 4'750

now all we have to do is divide again but this time for each month that Daniel needs to save up in, in this case 12

4'750 / 12 = 395.83 (note1)

and there we have it, that is the minimum amount Daniel would save each month

note1: (3 goes on for infinity, usualy this is represented by a line above the repeating number, this is the case of a repeating decimal)

HELP!!!!!!!!!
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

∠ABC ≅ ∠DEC

∠DEC = ∠GEF

thus:

∠ABC = ∠GEF

∠GFE ≅ ∠DCE

∠DCE = ∠ACB

thus:

∠ACB = ∠GFE

If two of their angles are equal, then the third angle must also be equal, because angles of a triangle always add to make 180°.

thus: ΔABC ∼ ΔGEF by AA similar triangle postulate

I hope this helps
