Answer:

$142.425

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A sports store is having a sale on skates, a pair originally cost is $135.

The sales tax is 5.5%

Question asked:

What is the total cost ?

Solution:

To find the total cost of a pair of skates, first of all we will find sale tax amount and then simply add the original cost and sale tax amount.

Original cost of a pair of skates =  $135

Sales tax = 5.5%

Sales tax amount = 5.5\% \ of\ 135

                             =\frac{5.5}{100} \times135\\\\ =\frac{742.5}{100} \\ =\$7.425

Total cost = Original cost + sale tax amount

                = $135 + $7.425

                = $142.425

Therefore, the total cost of a pair of skates at a sports store is $142.425

Where do I drop the SUM on the number line? using a number line, drag and drop the word SUM to the correct value on the number l
VikaD [51]

We need to add fractions 3/4 + 1 1/4 ​ using number line.

First fraction is 3/4.

Please see, we have four small sections from 0 to 1.

3/4 represents three fourth. That is there part of four parts.

So, please plot a point at 3rd point from 0 between 0 and 1.

Then we need to add 1 1/4.

Let us see the fracion part 1/4.

1/4 represents one fourth part.

So, please move one more section from the point we plotted in above step.

We would be on exactly number 1 on the number line after this second step.

Now, we had 1 in front of the mixed fracion 1 1/4.

So, we need to move one number ( complete number) to the right of 1.

We will get on number 2 on number line.

So, the final answer for 3/4 + 1 1/4 is 2 using number line we drew.

How do you rewrite p(x)=-5x2+120x-315 in vertex form
True [87]

Answer:

p(x)=-5(x-12)^2+405

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Vertex form: f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k

p(x)=-5x^2+120x-315

Factor out -5 from the first two terms

p(x)=-5(x^2-24x)-315

Complete the square by adding (\frac{24}{2} )^2 (the square of half of the x-coefficient)

p(x)=-5(x^2-24x+(\frac{24}{2} )^2)-315-(-5)(\frac{24}{2} )^2

We're subtracting (-5)(\frac{24}{2} )^2 because we need to keep the equation balanced and we can't just add new values.

Complete the square

p(x)=-5(x-(\frac{24}{2} ))^2-315-(-5)(\frac{24}{2} )^2

Simplify

p(x)=-5(x-12)^2-315+720\\p(x)=-5(x-12)^2+405

Summary:

  1. Complete the square
  2. Simplify

I hope this helps!
