1) The sales tax for the toilet paper is $0.17.

2) The price of the coat is $43.63 and the sales tax is $2.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the cost of the toilet paper be 'a'

Sales tax = 5.125%

Total cost = $3.50

Total cost = price+ 5.125% of price

3.50 = a + (5.125 x a/100)

3.50 = (100a + 5.125a) /100

350 = 105.125a

a = 350/105.125

a = $3.33

Sales tax = 3.50 - 3.33

= $0.17

The sales tax for the toilet paper is $0.17.

2)let the price of the coat be 'a'

cost of the coat = $45.87

Cost = a + 5.125% a

45.87 = a + (5.125/100) a

45.87 = ( 100a + 5.125a) /100

4587 = 105.125a

a = 4587/105.125

a = $43.63

Sales tax = 45.87 - 43.63

= $2.24

The price of the coat is $43.63 and the sales tax is $2.24

Find the greatest common factor of the following monomials 26n5 12n2
Sidana [21]

The greatest common factor is 2n^{2}


We first have to look for the largest number that goes into both equations. The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12. None of 3, 4, 6, or 12 go into 26 evenly. So 2 is the largest number you can take out.


With the variables, we take out as many as the lowest number will let us. Since the smallest number of n's is 2 in the second term, we take that many.

vaieri [72.5K]
Ur outlier is 22....so we will remove it.

now we find the mean (average) of the data set...
(9+4+10+9+5+2+10+3+3+5) / 10 = 60/10 = 6...this is ur mean

now we subtract the mean from every data value...and find its absolute value
9 - 6 = 3....| 3| = 3
4 - 6 = -2...|-2| = 2
10 - 6 = 4..|4| = 4
9 - 6 = 3....|3| = 3
5 - 6 = -1..|-1| = 1
2 - 6 = -4...|-4| = 4
10 - 6 = 4..|4| = 4
3 - 6 = -3...|-3| = 3
3 - 6 = -3...|-3| = 3
5 - 6 = -1...|-1| = 1

now we find the mean (average) of these numbers...that is ur MAD
(3+2+4+3+1+4+4+3+3+1) / 10 = 28/10 = 2.8

ur answer : on average, the height of the plant varies 2.8 inches from the mean of 6 inches
