Bert earns $35,000 gross annual salary. In Bert's jurisdiction there is a progressive tax system with rules as follows: Any amou

nts earned up to $20,000 are taxed at x%. Any amounts earned beyond $20,000 are taxed at 20%. Given that Bert pays $4,500 per annum in income tax, calculate x. Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. Do not include the percent symbol in your answer.

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

Answer:

I answered the questions but that formatting is very confusing and discourages anyone for trying to answer.

The last question is confusing. If I got it wrong, tell me. I will try to answer in the comment section then.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kayson is looking at two buildings, building A and building B, at an angle of elevation of 73°. Building A is 30 feet away, and building B is 35 feet away. Which building is taller and by approximately how many feet?

$\text{tan}\theta=\frac{h_{A}}{30} \Rightarrow h_{A}=\text{tan}73\º \cdot 30 \Rightarrow h_{A}\approx 98.12 \text{ feet}$

$\text{tan}\theta=\frac{h_{B}}{35} \Rightarrow h_{B}=\text{tan}73\º \cdot 35 \Rightarrow h_{B}\approx 114.47 \text{ feet}$

\text{Difference} \approx 16.35

Building B is around 16.35 feet taller than building A.

A Look at the figure below: an image of a right triangle is shown with an angle labeled y If sin y° = a divided by 6 and tan y° = a divided by b, what is the value of cos y°?

$\text{sin}(y)=\frac{a}{6} $

$\text{tan}(y)=\frac{a}{b} $

a is the opposite side; 6 is the hypotenuse; b is the adjacent side.

Therefore,

$\text{cos}(y)=\frac{b}{6} $

If sin f° = eight ninths and the measure of segment YW is 24 units, what is the measure of segment YX? triangle XYW in which angle W is a right angle, angle X measure f degrees, and angle Y measures d degrees.

This seems a bit confusing. The angles don't match. We have 90\º+62\º +21\º \approx 173\º

\text{sin}(f)=0.888...

f \approx 62\º

YX is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

$\text{cos}(21\º)=\frac{24}{YX} $

YX \approx 25.7

Considering f \approx 69\º

$\text{sin}(69\º)\approx\frac{24}{YX} $

YX \approx 25.7

Rectangle RSTU and the image R’S’T’U’ are graphed on the coordinate grid below.
Ksju [112]

The rectangle  R’S’T’U’ is a 90° counterclockwise rotation of RSTU so options (A) and (C) will be correct.

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

The rectangle is a geometrical figure in which opposite sides are equal.

The angle between any two consecutive sides will be 90 degrees.

Area of rectangle = length × width.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + width).

Given the rectangle RSTU if we plot it then it becomes a major horizontal rectangle.

If we transpose into R’S’T’U’ then it rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise and becomes a major vertical ractangle.

Hence the rectangle RSTU will rotate 90° counterclockwise to form  R’S’T’U’.
