Answer:

$51.70 is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Turn 40% into a decimal which makes it 0.40

ex. 50% would be 0.50, 5% would be 0.05 etc.

Step 2:

Put the numbers into this formula: Original Price (x) - Percent Off times Original Price = Sales Price

x - 0.40x = 31.02 this is basically 1x - 0.40x = 31.02 so,

Solving the left side of our equation gives us 1x - 0.40x = 0.60x

so now you have: 0.60x = 31.02

Step 3:

Divide both sides by 0.60 which gets x by itself and gives us the original price which is $51.70

A toy rocket is launched vertically from 5 feet above ground level with an initial velocity of 112 feet per second. The height h

Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)The height h after t seconds is given by the equation h(t)=-16t^2+112t+5.

Where 5 represents 5feet above the ground and this is the height from which the rocket was launched.

The equation is a quadratic equation. The plot of this equation on a graph would give a parabola whose vertex would be equal to the maximum height travelled by the rocket.

The vertex of the parabola is calculated as follows,

Vertex = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = -16

b = 112

Vertex = - - 112/32= 3.5

So the rocket will attain maximum height at 3.5 seconds.

It will also take 3.5 seconds to reach the ground. This means it will take a total of 3.5 seconds + 3.5 seconds

= 7 seconds to hit the ground.

b) to find time it will take to be 100 feet above the ground,

-16t^2+112t-95 = 0

Using general quadratic equation formula,

a = -16

b = 112

c = -95

t = [-b+/-√b^2-4ac]/2a

t = [ -112 +/-√112^2-4×-16×-95]/16 × -2

= [-112 +/-√12544-6080]/-32

= (-112+80.4)/-32 or (-112-80.4)/-32

t = 0.9875 or t = 6.0125

So it will take 0.9875 or approximately 1 second to be 100 feet above the ground

PLS HELP ME WITH 42!! (SHOW WORKKK!!!) + LOTS OF POINTS!!

We can represent the cost of the notebooks with by saying 0.75n, and the cost of the pens by saying 0.55p.

0.75n+0.55p will be the total cost before tax. Now, we need to add on tax. Tax will be 0.0625 times the total amount, so we can represent the cost by saying

(0.75n+0.55p) + 0.0625(0.75n+0.55p), so the answer is B.

A cone is placed inside a cylinder, as shown below. They have the same height and diameter. About how much space is inside the c

nadezda [96]

The space is inside the cylinder but outside the cone is 200π cubic FT or 628.32 cubic FT.

It is defined as the three-dimensional shape in which the base is a circular shape and if we go from circular base to top the diameter of the circle reduces and at the vertex, it becomes almost zero.

We know the volume of the cylinder is given:

$\rm V = \pi r^2 h$
