First, there was $37.50.
Then, there was a tax of 8%.
Then, there was a tip of 18%.
Since the tip is after the tax, it's not going to affect it, and we can essentially ignore it.

The real question here is just <em>what is 8% of $37.50?</em>

To find the percent of something, first you need to put the percent as a decimal.

8% in decimal form is 0.08 (If you think about it literally, they're both 8 hundredths)

Finally, just multiply the percent in decimal form by the number.

37.50 dollars × 0.08 = 3 dollars.<em />

8%= .08 37.50 x .08= $ 3.00 using only the amount of the original bill,since that was what the tax was based on hope this helps

Simplify.<br> (-3.9) + (6.01) - (-7.423)<br> -5.513.<br> 2.487.<br> 9.533.
lianna [129]
First, since we must follow PEMDAS, we need to do the operation that is first, which is addition. 

-3.9 + 6.01  ← Adding a negative means subtracting, then giving the sign of the bigger number.

So now we solved those and we got this answer: 2.11

Now, we need to subtract and re-write the expression.

2.11 - (-7.423) = 2.11 + 7.423= 9.533

Ok....so now we have our final answer, and we have the choices above.

The only answer that matches ours is the last one.

Final answer: 9.533

Hope I helped ^_^

Inga [223]

Answer:

Option a is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that as part of a research project on student debt at TWU, a researcher interviewed a sample of 35 students that were chosen at random concerning their monthly credit card balance.

Sample average = 2573

Variance = 4252

Sample size = 35

STd deviation of X = \sqrt{4252} \\=65.21

Score of student selected at random X=1700

Corresponding Z score = \frac{1700-2573}{65.201} \\=-13.38

Rounding of we get Z score = -13.4

option a is right
