Mathematics
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

6.6% = tax rate

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find out how much was paid in tax

24.91 - 23.37 =1.54

The tax is 1.54

The tax is the original price * tax rate

1.54 = 23.37 * tax rate

Divide each side by 23.37

1.54/23.37 = tax rate

.065896448= tax rate

Changing to percent form

6.6% = tax rate

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x represent the cost of a bag of popcorn

y represent the cost of a drink.

According to given statement;

4x+12y=30      Eqn 1

x+6y=11.25      Eqn 2

Multplying Eqn 2 by 2

2(x+6y=11.25)\\2x+12y=22.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 1

(4x+12y)-(2x+12y)=30-22.50\\4x+12y-2x-12y=7.50\\2x=7.50

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{7.50}{2}\\x=3.75

4x+12y=30 and x+6y=11.25 can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75

On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C is shifted 4 units to the right and 2 units up to form triangle A prime B prime C prime. I
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(x, y) ⟶ (x + 4, y + 2)  

Step-by-step explanation:

If you shift a point four units to the right, x ⟶ x + 4.

If you shift it up two units, y ⟶ y + 2.

If you combine the two shifts into one transformation, the rule becomes

(x, y) ⟶ (x + 4, y + 2)

The equation of line L is y=5x+1
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

L₁ is y = 5x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

L₂ is 2y - 10x + 3 = 0 ( subtract - 10x + 3 from both sides )

2y = 10x - 3 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = 5x - \frac{3}{2} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Since L₁ and L₂ have equal slopes then they are parallel lines
