The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
$43.20
Explanation:
The formula we have is
c = p(1+r), where c is the total cost, p is the price of the item before tax, and r is the tax rate written as a decimal. This formula comes from the fact that adding a percent tax to the cost of an item takes 100% of the price and adds r% to it; this is why we multiply the price by (1+r).
Since our tax rate is 8%, r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08. The price of the item is $40. Using this information, we have:
c = 40(1.08) = $43.20
Answer:
See below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 0.00000402
= 4.02 * 10^-6 (Counting the digits after the decimal point until we get to the 4 gives us the -6).
2. 1,900,000
= 1.9 * 10^6 ( counting the number of digits after the 1 gives us 6).
The slope is 4 and the Y-Intercept is 0.
1.2 of the blue candies were damaged. Out of the 60 candies, 18 were orange (0.3 x 60) and 18 were green (0.3 x 60). 12 of the candies were red (0.2 x 60) and 12 were blue (0.2 x 60). 1.2 of these 12 blue candies were damaged (0.1 x 12).
