We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

Ella collects 50 bottles to recycle. Of the bottles she collects, 19 are plastic and the rest are glass.
nekit [7.7K]
QUESTION A

The total number of bottles Ella collected is
50


The number of bottles that are plastic is

19

The percentage of bottles that are plastic is

=  \frac{number \: of \: plastic \: bottles}{total \: number \: of \: bottes}  \times 100\%

=  \frac{19}{50}  \times 100\%

= 19 \times 2\%
= 38\%

Therefore 38% of the bottles are plastic.



QUESTION B

The total number of bottles that are glass is
50 - 19 = 31

The total number of bottles Ella collected is
50

The percentage of bottles that is glass is
=  \frac{number \: of \: glass \: bottles}{total \: number \: of \: bottles}  \times 100\%

=  \frac{31}{50}  \times 100\%

= 31 \times 2\%
= 62\%

Therefore 62% of the bottles are glass

Your food bill at a restaurant is $30. You leave a 20% tip. The sales tax is 6%. What is the total cost of the meal?
ohaa [14]
The total cost of the meal is $37.80

Given:
Food bill = $30
tip = 20%
sales tax = 6%

Tip and sales tax must be based on the food bill.

Tip = $30 x 20% = $6
Sales Tax = $30 x 6% = $1.80

Food bill :   30.00
Tip               6.00
Sales tax  <u>   1.80</u>
Total cost 37.80
