Answer:
The correct answer is C. 8.15%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Natasha is a bank teller, and she received a 5% raise last year and a subsequent merit raise of 3% this year, to determine what is the accumulative or compound effect of these two raises as a percentage, the following calculation must be performed, assuming, as an example, that her starting salary was $ 2,000:
(2,000 x 1.05) x 1.03 = X
2,100 x 1.03 = X
2,163 = X
2,000 = 100
2,163 = X
2,163 x 100 / 2,000 = X
216,300 / 2,000 = X
108.15 = X
108.15 - 100 = 8.15
Thus, the compound effect of both salary increases is a salary increase of 8.15%.
Because this shape has 2 right angles, we can confirm that it has one set of parallel sides and is a trapezoid. Therefore, use the formula for area of a trapezoid, .5(b1+b2)(h)
.5(1+6)(12)
.5(7)(12)
42 units^2
f(x) = -10
set the equation equal to -10 and solve for x:
-10 = -x-1
Add 1 to both sides:
-9 = -x
Divide both sides by -1:
x = 9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3) Sales tax rate = 
= 8.50
= 9%
4) Rate of commission = 
= 5 %
5) Reduction = 
=$ 1500
New price = 5000 - 1500
= $ 3500
