Refer to the attached image.

Let the height of the Empire State Building = BC = 'x'

John is standing at distance from Empire State Building = AB = 1 mile

The angle of elevation = 11°

In triangle ABC,

Consider \tan 11^{\circ}= \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

\tan 11^{\circ}= \frac{BC}{AB}

\tan 11^{\circ}= \frac{x}{1}

0.194= \frac{x}{1}

x = 0.194 mile

Since 1 mile =5280 feet

So, x = 0.194 \times 5280

= 1024.32 feet.

So, the height of the Empire State Building is 1024.32 feet.

Mandy bought a desktop computer system to start her business from home for $4,995. It is expected to depreciate at a rate of 10%
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

8.43 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Cost price P= $4995

Rate r= 10%

FInal amount A= $2150

The expression for the time/duration is given as

t= ln(A/p)/r

t= ln(2150/4995)/0.1

t= ln(0.430)/0.1

t= 0.843/0.1

t= 8.43

Hence the time it will take is 8.43 years

The sales tax rate is 4.3064.306​% for the city and 44​% for the state. Find the total amount paid for 33 boxes of chocolates at
svp [43]

Answer:

The Total amount of of 33 boxes of chocolates including taxes is $838.358

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The sales tax rate for city = 4.306%

The sales tax rate for the state = 44%

Total number of boxes = 33

The price of each chocolates = $17.13

So , The price of 33 boxes of chocolates = $17.13 × 33

I.e The price of 33 boxes of chocolates = $565.29

Now total tax including state and city =  4.306% + 44% = 48.306 %

So, The tax amount paid for 33 boxes of chocolates = 48.306 % of $565.29

∴    The tax amount paid for 33 boxes of chocolates = 48.306 % × $565.29

                                                                       = 0.48306× $565.29

                                                                       = $273.068

∴ The Total amount of of 33 boxes of chocolates including taxes = $565.29 +  $273.068 = $838.358

Hence The Total amount of of 33 boxes of chocolates including taxes is $838.358 . Answer
