Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

  • Bert earns $35,000 gross annual salary
  • Any amounts earned up to $20,000 are taxed at x%
  • Any amounts earned beyond $20,000 are taxed at 20%
  • Bert pays $4,500 per annum in income tax

To find x

Amount earned beyond $20,000

= $35,000 - $20,000

= $15,000

That is the amount to be taxed at 20%

Therefore,

x% × 20000 + 20% × 15000 = 4500

200x + 3000 = 4500

200x = 4500 - 3000

200x = 1500

x = 1500/200

x = 7.5

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

125 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance = d and time is t

Using the variation;

d = k t^2

So let’s us get k

80 = k * 4*2

16k = 80

k = 80/16 = 5

So for 5 seconds, the distance would be;

d = 5 * 5^2

d = 125 meters

Proving Vertical Angles Are Congruent
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Statements:                                                 Reasons:

1) ∠2 and ∠4 are vertical angles               given

2) limes <em>m </em>and <em>n </em>intersect at <em>P                    </em>definition of vertical angles

3) ∠3 and ∠4 are linear pair                       definition of linear pair

4) ∠2 and ∠3 are linear pair                       definition of linear pair

5) m∠3 + m∠4 =180                                     angle addition postulate

6) m∠2 + m∠3 =180                                     angle addition postulate

7) m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠3 + m∠4                   substitution property

8) m∠2 = m∠4                                             subtraction property

9) ∠2 ≅ ∠4                                                 definition of congruent(≅) angles
