answer: D) 439.85
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given the price of the bike which is $413.
we are also given the sales tax which is 6.5%.
sales tax is added to the original price to give us our total. so in order to find the total cost we need to find what the 6.5% sales tax is and add it to our original price. to find the sales tax number in dollars we need to set up our formula. The easiest formula is to use a proportion. X is out of 413 = 6.5% is out of 100%. X/413=6.5/100. We can then cross multiply then divide. 6.5 times 413=2,684.5. then divide 2684.5÷100= 26.845.
we need to round up to the nearest cent since we are working with dollars and cents 26.85. 26.85 is 6.5% of the price of the bike which is 413. Now we just simply add the tax to the original price and we get the cost. 413+26.85=439.85

If 2 sodas and 4 hamburgers are $12.00 and 4 sodas and 2 hamburgers are $9.00 how much is a single hamburger?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2s + 4h = 12, (1) 4s + 2h = 9. (2) Multiply (1) by 2. You will get 4s + 8h = 24, (1') 4s + 2h = 9. (2') Distract (2') from (1'). You will get 8h - 2h = 24 - 9, or 6h = 15 ---> h =  =  = 2.5. Thus one hamburger price is $2.50. Then from (1) s =  = 1. Answer. One hamburger price is $2.50 and 1 soda costs $1.00.
There is even more elegant way to solve the problem.
Simply add all hamburgers and all sodas. 6 hamburgers and 6 sodas. $12 + $9 = $21.
Hence, 1 hamburger + 1 soda =  = $3.50.
Having this, everybody can solve to the end in this way, actually, without equations and using the mental math only.
Question: A man measures the angle of elevation to the top of a mountain to be 12 degrees. He drives 7 miles closer and finds the angle of elevation to be 37 degrees. How high is the mountain?
Answer:
x=8/3
y= -20/9
Step-by-step explanation:
4X + 3Y -4 =0
Linear egquations must in
so 4X + 3Y =4
THEN
3X + 9Y = - 12
next use calculator to solve it or you can use traditional way
X intercept: (-4)
y intercept: (8)
