Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2

Simply<br> tan 45°. sin 30° - cot 45°/sec 60°

dusya [7]

If we want to write the given four numbers in another form, we can write it like this;

$tan45=sin45/cos45=1$

$sin30=sin(\frac{\pi }{2}-60 )=cos60=\frac{1}{2}$

$cot45=cos45/sin45=1$

$sec60=1/cos60=\frac{1}{1/2} =2$

Now let's rewrite the given expression and get the result.

$(tan45.sin30)-(cot45/sec60)=(1.\frac{1}{2})-(\frac{1}{2} )=0$

Camila goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $9.20. A sales tax of 3% was added on. Camila tipped 19% on the amou

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$0.276

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Bill= $9.20

Tax= 3%

Tip= 19%

Let us find the amount of the tax and the tip

Tax

=3/100*9.20

=0.03*9.2

=$0.276

Amount after sales tax

= 0.276+9.20

=$9.476

Tip

=19/100*9.476

=0.19*9.476

=$1.80044

Therefore the sales tax

=$0.276
