As a fraction it is 7/100 and it would be 7 cents for each dollar.  it is $1x.07
Rama09 [41]3 years ago
3 0

we know that

To convert the decimal as fraction in this problem, multiply and divide by one hundred

0.07=0.07*\frac{100}{100}=\frac{0.07*100}{100}=\frac{7}{100}

therefore

the answer Part a) is

the decimal as fraction is equal to \frac{7}{100}

Part b)

we know that

1 dollar is equal to 100 cents

1 cent is equal to 0.01 dollars

the tax is equal to 0.07 dollars

so

by proportion

\frac{100}{1} \frac{cents}{dollar}=\frac{x}{0.07} \frac{cents}{dollars}\\ \\x=100*0.7\\ \\x=7\ cents

the tax is equal to 7 cents

therefore

<u>the answer part b) is </u>

There are 7 cents of tax in each dollar

A line had a slope of 2/3 and a y intercept at (0,14).What is the x intercept of the line?​
pychu [463]

Answer:

y=2/3x+14

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.

Given a y-intercept of 14 and a slope of 2/3, we can plug into the variables and get the equation y=2/3x+14

The x-intercept would be when y=0, so plugging in y=0 to the equation gets us:

0=2/3x+14

-14=2/3x

21=x

So the x-intercept is 21

Maristella is constructing an isosceles triangle to use as a model in her Algebra class. The perimeter of her triangle is 24 cm.
Vlada [557]

Isolating s, the equation written in terms of s is:

s = 12 - 0.5b

-------------------------

  • The equation for the length of the third side, as stated in the problem,("Maristella uses the equation b = 24 – 2s to find b, the length of the triangle's third side") is:

b = 24 - 2s

  • To solve for the lengths of the congruent sides, we isolate s, thus:

b = 24 - 2s

2s = 24 - b

Inverse of multiplication is division, thus:

s = \frac{24 - b}{2}

Separating into two fractions:

s = \frac{24}{2} - \frac{b}{2}

Solving each fraction:

s = 12 - 0.5b
