Answer:
Total items = $39.90
Sales tax amount = $3.7905
Total cost = $43.691
The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items
Step-by-step explanation:
Dress = $24.95
Skirt = $14.95
steps the clerk completed.
Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90
Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40
Correct steps:
Total items = dress + skirt
= $24.95 + $14.95
= $39.90
Sales tax = 9.5%
Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total
= 9.5/100 × $39.90
= 0.095 × 39.90
= $3.7905
Total cost = Total + sales tax amount
= $39.90 + $3.7905
= $43.6905
To the nearest hundredth
= $43.691
Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items
Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax
Answer:
4x-11
Step-by-step explanation:
open parentheses: 4x-8-3
solve: 4x-11
Using the z-table, the probability that a student taking this test will finish in 100 minutes or less is 0.0824 or 8.24%.
For a normally distributed set of data, given the mean and standard deviation, the probability can be determined by solving the z-score and using the z-table.
First, solve for the z-score using the formula below.
z-score = (x – μ) / σ
where x = individual data value = 100
μ = mean = 125
σ = standard deviation = 18
z-score = (100 – 125) / 18
z-score = (-25) / 18
z-score = -1.39
Find the probability that corresponds to the z-score in the z-table. (see attached images)
-1.39 - (-1.3) : -1.4 - (-1.3) = x - 0.0968 : 0.0808 - 0.0968
-0.09 : -0.1 = x - 0.0968 : -0.016
x - 0.0968 = -0.09(-0.016)/-0.1
x = -0.0144 + 0.0968
x = 0.0824
x = 0.0824
Hence, the probability that a student taking this test will finish in 100 minutes or less is 0.0824 or 8.24%.

Answer:
-7 - 2 = -9 (combine the numbers,simplify)
12 + (-4) = 8 (Simplify the Expression)
-8(-6) = 48 (Simplify the Expression)
18/-3 = -6 ( Simplify the Expression)
Hope this helps :)
