Answer:

percentage error = 7.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hank's speedometer reads 60 miles per hour, but during a road test he finds the he was actually driving 56 mph.

estimated/ read value = 60 miles per hour

actual value/correct value = 56 miles per hour

error = estimated or read value - correct value/actual value

error = 60 - 56 = 4 mph

percentage error = error / correct value × 100

percentage error = 4/56 × 100

percentage error = 400/56

percentage error = 7.1428571429%

percentage error = 7.14%

Tina lives in a state that charges her 4.5% state income tax on her federal taxable income. If her federal taxable income is $61

Irina-Kira [14]

$ 2772 is paid in state income tax

Solution:

Given that, Tina lives in a state that charges her 4.5% state income tax on her federal taxable income

Federal taxable income = $61,600

To find: Amount paid by Tina in state income tax

Tax rate = 4.5 %

Which means, 4.5 % of $61,600 is paid as tax

$Tax\ Rate = 4.5 \% \text{ of } 61600$

Here, "of" means multiplication or product

$Tax\ Rate = 4.5 \% \times 61600\\\\Tax\ Rate = \frac{4.5}{100} \times 61600\\\\Tax\ Rate = 0.045 \times 61600\\\\Tax\ Rate = 2772$

Thus $ 2772 is paid in state income tax

One year,the price of wheat was $8.87 per bushel.The next year,the price was $9.60. Round the price per bushel of wheat for each

stellarik [79]

So the given numbers are:
=> One year, the price of wheat is 8.87 dollars
=> the next year, the price of wheat is 9.60 dollars.
We were asked to round each prices of bushels of wheat to its nearest tenths.
=> 8.87, where 8 before the decimal point is ones, 8 next to decimal point is tenths and 7 is the hundredths.
=>round off to the nearest tenths
=> 8.9
=> next is 9.60, where 9 is the ones value, 6 is the tenths value and 0 is the hundredths.
=> round off to nearest tenths
=> 9.6

Use the graph to evaluate the step function at x =3

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the value of the function at 3, draw vertical line $x=3,$ and find the point of intersection of this line with the graph of the given function.

You can see that the vertical line has two common points with the graph: (3,5) and (3,7). The first point (3,5) is solid (filled), so this point belongs to the graph and it is the point of intersection. The second point (3,7) is open point (not filled), so this point does not belong to the graph, so it cannot be the point of intersection.

Hence,

$f(3)=5$
