Answer:

$972

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount that Vince should pay back, we can use the formula of 

A = P + PRT 

where A is amount (unknown), P is principal ($900), R is rate of interest (1.5%).

Which in this case, Vince did follow the correct formula, but what he did wrong, it that he incorrectly changed the rate to a decimal. Instead, 1.5% should be 0.015 in decimal form.

So, the correct formula should be

A = 900 + 900(0.015x2)

A = 900 + 27

A = 927

So, the correct amount Vince should pay is $927.

A department store purchases logo shirts at a cost of $10 per shirt. They increase the price 100% and put them on the sales floo
Andrei [34K]

The original selling price is found by multiplying 100% by $10 and adding that to the original $10. The logo shirt goes on the sale floor for $20. Each of the next three months, the reduced price is found by multiplying the current sale price by 75%. The tax is found by multiplying 5% by the final discounted price and adding the tax to the final sale price.

Which point is 7 units from (–2, 4)?
Serjik [45]
The distance formula:
d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

(x_1,y_1)=(-2,4) \\
d=7 \\ \\
7=\sqrt{(x-(-2))^2+(y-4)^2} \\
7=\sqrt{(x+2)^2+(y-4)^2} \ \ \ |^2 \\
49=(x+2)^2+(y-4)^2
Check which point satisfies the equation:
(x,y)=(-5,4) \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} (-5+2)^2+(4-4)^2 \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} (-3)^2+0^2 \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} 9 \\
49 \not= 9 \\
doesn't \ satisfy \ the \ equation

(x,y)=(-2,3) \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} (-2+2)^2+(3-4)^2 \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} 0^2+(-1)^2 \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} 1 \\
49 \not= 1 \\
doesn't \ satisfy \ the \ equation

(x,y)=(5,4) \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} (5+2)^2+(4-4)^2 \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} 7^2+0^2 \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} 49 \\
49=49 \\
satisfies \ the \ equation

(x,y)=(9,4) \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} (9+2)^2+(4-4)^2 \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} 11^2+0^2 \\
49 \stackrel{?}{=} 121 \\
49 \not= 121 \\
doesn't \ satisfy \ the \ equation

The answer is C.

1. Consider a cylinder with radius 4 cm and a height of 12 cm. Determine the volume of the given cylinder. Describe how to calcu
sergiy2304 [10]

↪Hola user_____________

⭐Here is Your Answer...!!!

____________________

↪SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES

↪The VOLUME of any object is nothing but the the capacity to hold the amount of substance inside it . It defines the Amount of substance that can occupied bythe object inside it ..

↪Volume = Base Area × Height

↪thus for the Cylinder ; Volume of cylinder = Pi(R^2) × H

↪thus volume = 3.14 × R^2 × H

↪thus here given as R = 4 cm and H = 12cm

↪Volume = 3.14 × 16 × 12= 602.88 cm^3

thus

↪the Volume of the Cylinder = 602.88 cm^3

What are the steps for solving this equation, quick please, im in a zoom! -2(-2k+3)+4k=-2(6-3k)+2k
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

0 = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(−2k+3)+4k=−2(6−3k)+2k

(−2)(−2k)+(−2)(3)+4k=(−2)(6)+(−2)(−3k)+2k(Distribute)

4k+−6+4k=−12+6k+2k

(4k+4k)+(−6)=(6k+2k)+(−12)(Combine Like Terms)

8k+−6=8k+−12

8k−6=8k−12

Step 2: Subtract 8k from both sides.

8k−6−8k=8k−12−8k

−6=−12

Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.

−6+6=−12+6

0=−6
