In the question it is already given that 4 items are being purchased and their individual rates are also given. the percentage of tax that needs to be paid is also given. To find the total amount of tax that has to be paid, you can either calculate the taxes on individual items and then add them or you can add the total amount required for the 4 items and then calculate the tax. Both will yield the same result but the second process is easier.
Cost of all the 4 items purchased = (2.50 + 8.75 + 3.00 + 10.25)
                                                       = 24.50
Percentage of tax that needs to be paid = 6%
Amount of tax that needs to be paid = (6/100) * 24.50
                                                           = 147/100
                                                           = 1.47
So the amount of tax that needs to be paid is 1.47.

The residents of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes. The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 . If there were
Alchen [17]

Answer:

There were 2747 yes votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 .

This means that for each 5 + 3 = 8 votes, 5 were yes and 3 were no.

If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

For each 8 votes, we have 5 yes. How many yes votes were there in 4395 votes?

5 yes - 8 votes

x yes - 4395 votes

8x = 4395*5

x = 4395*5/8

x = 2747

There were 2747 yes votes.

Solve the inequality: -6n - 12 >= 3(-n + 12)
Verizon [17]

Answer:

-16 > n or n < -16

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can write the inequality and distribute.

-6n-12 > 3(-n+12)

-6n-12 > -3n+36

Get rid of a variable first (it makes solving a lot easier). We can add 6n to both sides.

-6n-12 > -3n+36

<u>+6n          +6n</u>

-12 > 3n+36

Now, we can subtract 36 on both sides.

-12 > 3n+36

<u>-36         -36</u>

-48 > 3n

Divide by 3 on both sides.

-48 > 3n

<u>/3       /3</u>

-16 > n or (if it's easier) n < -16

Hope this helps!! Have a wonderful day C:

Polynomial function in standard form with zeros 5,-4,1
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ \  x^3-2x^2-19x+20 \ \ \  }

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

by definition we can write

(x-5)(x+4)(x-1)

as 5,-4,1 are the zeroes

now we have to write it in the standard form, let's do it

(x-5)(x+4)(x-1)=(x^2+4x-5x-20)(x-1)\\=(x^2-x-20)(x-1)=x^3-x^2-20x-x^2+x+20\\=x^3-2x^2-19x+20

hope this helps
