You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427
When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.
To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7
So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%
If this is multiple choice im gonna say C
Answer:
A and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Since tangent is opposite/adjacent,
Tan 40 in this case would be x/3.8 (i used x because we don't know what the value is)
So, you set it up as an algebra problem
Tan40 = x/3.8
Multiply both sides by 3.8
3.8tan40 = x, Option A
And then, angle E is 50 degrees
So tan 50 = 3.8/x
Multiply both sides by x
tan50x = 3.8
Divide both sides by tan50
x= 3.8/tan50
So, A and D are both correct
Given: 11-pound mixture of peanuts, almonds, and raisins
Cost:
peanuts - 1.5 per pound
almonds - 3 per pound
raisins - 1.5 per pound
mixture:
twice as many peanuts as almond; total cost of mixture is 21.
a + p + r = 11 lbs
a + 2a + r = 11 lbs
3a + r = 11
r = 11 - 3a
1.5(2a) + 3a + 1.5r = 21
3a + 3a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5(11-3a) = 21
6a + 16.5 - 4.5a = 21
6a - 4.5a = 21 - 16.5
1.5a = 4.5
1.5a/1.5 = 4.5/1.5
a = 3
almonds = 3 lbs
peanuts = 2a = 2(3) = 6lbs
raisins = 11 - 3a = 11 - 3(3) = 11 - 9 = 2 lbs
<span>My answer is: C. 6 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs almonds, 2 lbs raisins </span>
The answer is 7 3/4.
Turn into improper fraction
= 77/8 − 15/8
= ((77 × 8) − (15 × 8)) / (8 × 8)
= (616 - 120) / 64
= 496/64
= 31/4
