Let x =  price of the bike before a sales tax.

The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars

Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50

Answer: 158.50

Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of JL is equal to the slope of MP
Ilya [14]

Answer:

See below and attached

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>As per the graph we have:</u>

  • Coordinates of JL are J(-7, 4), L(-4, 0)
  • Coordinates of MP are M(-10, 8), P(-1, -4)

<u>Slope formula is:</u>

  • m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

<u>Slope of JL:</u>

  • (0 - 4)/(-4-(-7)) = - 4 / 3

<u>Slope of MP:</u>

  • (-4 -8)/(-1- (-10)) = -12 / 9 = - 4/3

Arlecino [84]

Please write that as 4.321 × 10^(−4).  The " ^ " indicates exponentiation and the parentheses help make clear that your exponent here is a negative one.

Rewrite 4.321 × 10^(−4) by moving the decimal point 4 places to the left:

0.0004321

Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without even knowing the mean or median this can be solved. The data isn't skewed to the left nor right, so it is symmetrical. The mean is the central value of numbers so it should represent the center well.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$138

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first turn the words into a mathematical equation by substituting words with the information we have:

Total earning - ( Price of three books)

$180 - (Price of one book x 3)

$180 - ($14 x 3)

Finally, after we have created the mathematical equation, we solve it!

$180 - ($14 x 3)

$180 - $42

$138
