Answer:

Option D. $82.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the cake that Melissa bought = $75.00

The sales-tax rate on the cake = 10%

The total amount she paid for the cake = 75 +(10% of 75)

= 75 + $(\frac{10}{100}\times 75)$

= 75 + (0.10 × 75)

= 75 + 7.5

= $82.50

Melissa paid $82.50 for the cake.

Multiply $75 by 1.1 because it includes the tax and the cake. you should get $82.50.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}\\0=848(0.75)^{n-1}\\or~(0.75)^{n-1}=0\\0.75$

$or~n \rightarrow 1+\infty\\or~n \rightarrow \infty$

Hence lake will never be free of pesticide.

John and Martha are contemplating having children, but John’s brother has galactosemia (an autosomal recessive disease) and Mart

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$Probability=\frac{1}{24}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As the question states,

John's brother has Galactosemia which states that his parents were both the carriers.

Therefore, the chances for the John to have the disease is = 2/3

Now,

Martha's great-grandmother also had the disease that means her children definitely carried the disease means probability of 1.

Now, one of those children married with a person.

So,

Probability for the child to have disease will be = 1/2

Now, again the child's child (Martha) probability for having the disease is = 1/2.

Therefore,

<u>The total probability for Martha's first child to be diagnosed with Galactosemia will be,</u>

$Probability=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{4}\\Probability=\frac{1}{24}$

(Here, we assumed that the child has the disease therefore, the probability was taken to be = 1/4.)

<em><u>Hence, the probability for the first child to have Galactosemia is $\frac{1}{24}$ </u></em>

Side BC is congruent to side BC.

Using the congruent angles and the angle bisectors, you can get two angles congruent to two other angles, so you use ASA to prove the triangles congruent. Then you use CPCTC to prove the sides congruent.

Answer: C.) ASA
