Cost of the article = $27.50
Amount of city sales tax = (27.50 x 6%) = $1.65
Amount of excise tax = (27.50 x 8%) = $2.20
From my knowledge, we pay city sales tax and federal excise tax when we buy something, so the total cost would be $31.35

Answer:

Therefore, The article costs altogether = $31.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Retail cost of the article = $27.50

The city sales tax is 6%

So, The city sales tax cost = 6% of 27.50

⇒ The city sales tax cost = $1.65

The federal excise tax is 8%

⇒ The federal excise tax cost = 8% of 27.50

⇒ The federal excise tax cost = $2.20

The total city tax = 1.65 + 2.20

⇒ The total city tax = $3.85

Therefore, The article costs altogether = 27.50 + 3.85

                                                                    = $31.35

A sailboat leaves port and sails 12 kilometers west and then 9 kilometers north.
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:  The sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a sail boat leaves port and sails 12 kilometers west and then 9 kilometers north.

We are to find the distance between the sailboat from the port in kilometers.

Since the directions west and north are at right-angles, we can visualize the movement of the sailboat in the form of a right-angled triangle as shown in the attached figure.

The sailboat moves leaves the port at P and reach O after sailing 12 km west. From point O, again it moves towards north 9 km and reach the point S.

PS = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have from right-angled triangle SOP,

Thus, the sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.

In ΔKLM, the measure of ∠M=90°, the measure of ∠K=78°, and KL = 35 feet. Find the length of MK to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

7.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

osK=

hypotenuse

adjacent

​

=

35

x

​

\cos 78=\frac{x}{35}

cos78=

35

x

​

35\cos 78=x

35cos78=x

Cross multiply.

x=7.2769\approx \mathbf{7.3}\text{ feet}

x=7.2769≈7.3 feet

Type into calculator and round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

What is the equation of the graph
AveGali [126]

Answer:

y = 2x^2 + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph you see there is called a parabola. The general equation for the graph is as below

y = a*x^2 + b

To find the equation we need to find the constants a and b. The constant b is just how much we're lifting the parabola by. Notice it's lifted by 1 on the y axis.

To find a it's a little more tricky. Let's use the graph to find a value for a by plugging in values we know. We know that b is 1 from the previous step, and we know that when x=1, y=3. Let's use that!

3 = a * (1)^2 + 1\\2 = a

Awesome, we've found both values. And we can write the result.

y = 2x^2 + 1

I'll include a plotted graph with our equation just so you can verify it is indeed the same.

Two competing gyms each offer childcare while parents work out gym a charged $9.00 per hour of childcare. Gym b charges $0.75 pe
andriy [413]

Answer:

D.)Gym B and Gym A charge the same hourly rate for childcare.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find out how much Gym B charges for a full hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Divide this by 5 to determine how many 5 minute increments are in an hour: 12. A parent paying for 1 hour of child care will need to make 12 payments of .75. 12 times .75 equals $9.00. This means that both gyms charge the same amount per hour.
