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

∠3 and ∠6 can be classified as:
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Alternate Interior Angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are inside the parallel lines, Alternate Exterior Angles and any other similar theorems can be ruled out.

Since they are on opposite sides of each other, Corresponding Angles and any other similar theorems can be ruled out.

Since they are far apart from each other, Supplementary Angles, Adjacent Angles, Vertical Angles, and any other similar definitions can be ruled out.

Therefore, we are left with Alternate Interior Angles.

After a storm, 135 trees out of 180 were left standing. What is the percentage loss of the number of trees?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Percentage loss of the number of trees is 25\%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: After a storm, 135 trees out of 180 were left standing.

To find: What is the percentage loss of the number of trees?

Solution:

We have,

Total number of trees =180

Number of trees left standing =135

Therefore, loss of trees=180-135=45

We now that \text {Loss\%}=\frac{\text{Number of trees left}}{\text{Total number of trees}}\times 100 \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=\frac{45}{180}\times 100 \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=\frac{450}{18} \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=25 \%

Hence, the percentage loss of the number of trees is 25\%.

lianna [129]

Answer:

95 intervals

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

population mean = 100

standard deviation = 15

number of interval that involve the mean for 95% confidence interval is calculated as

We know that when we measure the 99 percent confidence interval, 99 outof 100 confidence interval are required to provide the mean population.

similarly

Assuming we measure a confidence interval of 95 percent, then we  should expect 95 out of 100 confidence interval to provide the mean population therefore, answer is 95
