Hi,

To find the cost before tax, we must find out how much the tax is. So we multiply 252 x .05 to get 12.6. So we know the tax was 12.6 dollars. Now all we have to do is subtract that from the total to get our answer. 252 - 12.6 = 239.4.

Have a great day!

xenn [34]

Answer:

d. $10,234.80

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The equipment will cost $26,000

so, Amount is $26000

A=26000

should be invested today at 12%

r=12%=0.12

It is compounded semiannually

so, n=2

t=8

now, we can use formula

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

now, we can plug values

$26000=P(1+\frac{0.12}{2})^{2\times 8}$

now, we can solve for P

$P=10234.80338$

A man bought a beautiful horse and needed a paddock to keep it in. He decided on a square shaped area and used 30 poles on each

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

120poles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of each poles of the paddock = 30

Since a square has 4 sides, the perimeter of the square shaped paddock is what we are to look for.

Perimeter of a square = 4L

L is the length of each side of the paddock

Perimeter = 4(30)

Perimeter of the square = 120

Hence he used 120poles for the paddock
