"A department store in your hometown charges 9.75% tax; the stores location in your cousins hometown only charges 7.75% tax. If

a shoppers pre-tax receipt is between $11.57 and $81.43, write and graph a compound inequality that describes the difference in taxes paid for the two locations (to the nearest cent)"
I just need a start on how to do this.
Tbh, I've never heard of a pre-tax reciept. We get taxed on things that we pay, but is that the same thing as a pre-tax?

Also, at which location is this tax receipt being paid at? My hometown or my cousins hometown? (both of which has two different tax percentages)

Let x be the cost and the pre-tax receipt is between $11.57 and $81.43, so

11.57≤ x ≤ 81.43

Let y be the difference in taxes then,

11.57*(9.75/100 - 7.75/100) ≤ y ≤ 81.43*(9.75/100 - 7.75/100)  

=11.57*(0.0975 - 0.0775) ≤ y ≤ 81.43*(0.0975 - 0.0775)  

= 11.57*0.020 ≤ y ≤ 81.43*0.020

= 0.2314 ≤ y ≤1.6286

To the nearest cent, it is

0.23≤ y ≤1.62

Please find attached the graph.

Name a pair of corresponding angles
Gnoma [55]
<h3>Corresponding angles = angle 1 and angle 5</h3>

They are on the same side of the transversal cut (both to the left of the transversal) and they are both above the two black lines. It might help to make those two black lines to be parallel, though this is optional.

Other pairs of corresponding angles could be:

  • angle 2 and angle 6
  • angle 3 and angle 7
  • angle 4 and angle 8

=======================================================

<h3>Alternate interior angles = angle 3 and angle 5</h3>

They are between the black lines, so they are interior angles. They are on alternate sides of the blue transversal, making them alternate interior angles.

The other pair of alternate interior angles is angle 4 and angle 6.

=======================================================

<h3>Alternate exterior angles = angle 1 and angle 7</h3>

Similar to alternate interior angles, but now we're outside the black lines. The other pair of alternate exterior angles is angle 2 and angle 8

=======================================================

<h3>Same-side interior angles = angle 3 and angle 6</h3>

The other pair of same-side interior angles is angle 4 and angle 5. They are interior angles, and they are on the same side of the transversal.

Solve 4e^2x-3=12 please help
Anestetic [448]

4*e^{2x} -3 = 12

Step 1:

Here we have -3 in subtraction on the left side, so when we take it to the right we apply opposite operation of subtraction that is addition.

4*e^{2x} = 12+3

4*e^{2x} = 15

Step 2:

Next we have 4 in multiplication on left side, so dividing right side by 4,

e^{2x} = 15/4

e^{2x} = 3.75

Step 3:

taking log on both sides

ln ( e^{2x}) = ln(3.75)

{2x} =ln 3.75

Step 4:

Dividing right side by 2,

x= ln (3.75) /2 = 0.66088

Answer : x = 0.66088..

The answer you are looking for is 40 hours. they gave you the answer in the statement above when they said he gets time-and-a-half for any hours beyond 40. So he only worked 40 regular pay hours and got 4 hours overtime for time-and-a-half.
