Hello! To find the sales tax rate, all you have to do is divide the amount of tax by the amount before tax. 11.4/380 is 0.03. Because percents are parts of 100, multiply that decimal by 100 in order to get 3. There. The sales tax rate is 3%.

Remember SOHCAHTOA

Sine- opposite/hypotenuse
Cosine- adjacent/hypotenuse
Tangent- opposite/adjacent

Look at the angle (x) you are trying to figure out and pick which one of these it is.

In your calculator, do the equation first to get a decimal

Then press whichever one you chose on the calculator, so if you got like 0.2 by doing opposite/adjacent for tangent, you would type in 0.2 and then the TAN button

hope this makes sense!!

for every 5 coins carmen gets, she gives 2 to her brother Frankie. If carmen has 9 coins, how many does frankie have?

Since Carmen gives two coins to Frankie for every five that she gets, she effectively only gains 3 coins at a time. Therefore, if she has 9 coins, Frankie must have 6.

Answer:

Parte1 :

∡B= 180 - (42 + 83)= 55°

Parte2 :

Using the law of sines : $\frac{sin 42}{a} = \frac{sin 55}{175}$ ⇔ $a = sin42 \frac{175}{sin 55}$ ⇔ a= 142.95
