Answer:

$8.80

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the new price, you need to add 60% of the original price (5.50) to the original price. You have two options:

1) multiply $5.50*0.6 to get 60% of the original price. You would get $3.30. Then add $3.30+$5.50, which equals $8.80. This way takes longer but shows you all the steps.

2) The shorter way is to simply multiply $5.50*1.6, which also equals $8.80. This works because the "1" automatically adds the 5.50 to 60% of the original price, this way you don't have to multiply then add.

If you don't understand how the second way works or your teacher taught you #1, just do it the first way.

A tank with capacity T gallons is empty. If water flows into the tank from pipe X at the rate of X gallons per minute, and water
Andrej [43]

A tank with capacity T gallons is empty. Tank will be filled in \frac{t}{(x - y)} minutes

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, A tank with capacity T gallons is empty.  

We have to find how many minutes will tank be filled?

Now, Water flows into the tank from pipe X at the rate of X gallons per minute,  

And water is pumped out by pipe Y at the rate Y gallons per minute,  

Then, together in one minute the amount of water filled will be x – y gallons  [as X is greater than Y]

Now, the time take to fill tank = =\frac{\text { capacity of tank }}{\text { amount of water filled per minute }}=\frac{t}{x-y}

Hence tank will be filled in \frac{t}{(x - y)} minutes

Pls help me with this answer choice question! brainliest, rattings, thanks etc.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

graph B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3y - 5x < - 6

Since the inequality is < then the line must be broken

If ≤ then line would be solid

The only possible graphs are B and D

Choose a test point in the shaded region of each graph and check validity

graph B (2, 0) ← substitute into left side of inequality

0 - 5(2) = 0 - 10 = - 10 < - 6 ← this is valid

graph D (0, 0 ) ← substitute into left side of inequality

0 - 0 = 0 > - 6 ← this is not valid

Hence graph B is the correct graph

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point 100m away is 45 degrees. What is the height of the tower to the neares
OLEGan [10]
<h3>Answer: 100 meters</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

If you draw out the diagram, then you'll find that a 45-45-90 triangle forms. The nice thing about this type of triangle is that the two legs are always the same length. The horizontal leg is 100 meters, so the vertical leg must also be 100 meters.

Side note: this type of triangle is an isosceles right triangle.

---------

You could use the tangent rule to get the same thing

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(45) = 100/x

1 = 100/x

1*x = 100

x = 100

In this case, the opposite leg is the vertical leg since it is furthest from the angle of elevation.
