The tax is 8.5%.
To find the tax on an item, multiply 8.5% by the price of the item.

t-shirt:
8.5% of $12.99 = 8.5% * $12.99 = 0.085 * $12.99 = $1.10
The tax on the t-shirt is $1.10

pair of jeans:
8.5% of $39.99 = 8.5% * $39.99 = 0.085 * $39.99 = $3.40
The tax on the jeans is $3.40

The difference in the amount of tax is

$3.40 - $1.10 = $2.30

Answer: $2.30

Are all isosceles triangles similar? Are all right triangle similar? Are all isosceles right triangles similar? Explain.
Alex17521 [72]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) no

  b) no

  c) yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Isosceles triangles can have a third angle (the one that is not part of the pair of equal angles) with any value in the range 0 < α < 180°. Triangles with different angle values will not be similar.

Not all isosceles triangles are similar.

__

b) The smallest acute angle of a right triangle can have any measure in the range 0 < α ≤ 45°. Right triangles having different smallest angles will not be similar. The attachment shows dissimilar right triangles.

Not all right triangles are similar.

__

c) If the smallest acute angle of a right triangle is 45°, then both acute angles are 45°, and the right triangle is an isosceles triangle. Each such triangle will be similar to every such triangle.

All isosceles right triangles are similar.

According to the manufacturer, about 26% of sour candy in a package of Sandy's Sours are grape. What is the probability that the
Leto [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that there are 100 sour candies, Thus-  

26 % of candy are grape implies that 26% of 100 candies are grape that is equal to 26

Now remaing candies that are not grape are 100-26 = 74

Based on the rule of multiplication:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A)/ P(B|A)  

 In the beginning, there are 26grape candies, probability of choosing first grape candy =  26C1 = 26

 After the first selection, we replace the selected grape candy so there are still 100 candies in the bag P(B|A) =  100C3 = 100 x 99 x 98 x 97!/3! X 97!

= 50 x 33 x 98

So probability =1/ 50 x 33 x 98 x 26

= 1/4204200

What is the LCM of 55,121 and 132
serg [7]
132/2 = 66
66/2 = 33
33/3 = 11
11/11 = 1

132 = 2^2 * 3 * 11

55121/11 = 5011
5011/5011 = 1

55,121 = 11 * 5011

LCM = common factor with larger exponent * not common factors

LCM = 2^2 * 3 * 11 * 5011

LCM = 661,452
