Answer:

the sales tax percent is therefore: 7.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales tax she paid is $69.75, for a sofa whose sale price is $899.99.

Since $69.75 is the unknown (x) percent of $899.99, then we write this statement in math terms as:

69.75 = x * 899.99

solving for x we get:

x = 69.75 / 899.99

x = 0.0775

this is the decimal form of the percent, and in order to write it as percent, we multiply it by 100:

the sales tax percent is therefore: 7.75%

Mrs. Habib has 46.25 feet of border for a bulletin board for her classroom. the board is 37.5 feet tall and 8.3 feet wide. how m
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Mrs. Habib will have 22.25 feet of border left after she puts border around the board.

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find the perimeter of the board and subtract it from the amount of border she has to find how much she will have left after she uses it. The formula for perimeter is P=2(l+w), where l= the length of the board, and w= the width of the board. You will add those together and multiply them by 2 because there are 4 sides to a rectangle. That means this equation will look like:

P=2(8.25+3.75)

Now you can just solve for the perimeter.

P=2(12)

P=24

The perimeter is 24 feet. That means it will take 24 feet of border to cover her board. In order to find out how much she'll have left over, just subtract 24 from the total amount of border she has.

46.25-24=22.25

Therefore Mrs. Habib will have 22.25 feet of border left over after she covers the bulletin board.

Can you help me with number 6? <br> Confused abit <br> Please
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

You can see the three diagram attached. Each link is labeled with the probability: you have probability 1/6 that a six is rolled, and 5/6 that it is not rolled.


To answer the questions, find the path that brings you to the desired outcome, and multiply all the labels you meet.


First question:

To get three sixes, you have to choose the left path at each roll. The probability is always 1/6, so the answer is


\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{6^3}


Second question:

To get no sixes, you have to choose the right path at each roll. The probability is always 5/6, so the answer is


\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5^3}{6^3}


Third question:

To get exactly one six, it can either be the first, second or third roll.


In all cases, you have to choose the left path once and the right path twice: left-right-right mean that you get the six in the first roll, right-left-right means that you get the six in the second roll, right-right-left means that you get the six in the third roll.


In every case, the left turn has probability 1/6, and the right turn has probability 5/6. The probability of each combination is thus


\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5^2}{6^3}


And since there are three of these combinations, The answer is


3\frac{5^2}{6^3}


Fourth question:

Since the question suggests to use what we already achieved, let's do it: having at least one six is the complementary event of having no sixes at all. If an event has probability p, its complementary has probability 1-p. So, since the probability of no sixes is known, the probability of at least one six is


1 - \frac{5^3}{6^3}
