Answer:

67%

$33.92

Step-by-step explanation:

So a few things happen.  Starting at $50.88 there is a markup, so it is now y dollars.  Then a tax of 6.25% is applied to this y, which gets $90.10.  So we want to work backwards to find y.

First, we want to find a number that when it gets a tax of 6.25%, or .0625, we get 90.10.  So it's a pretty simple algebra problem.

90.1 = y * 1.0625

90.1/1.0625 = y

84.8 = y

So now we know, before tax the store charges $84.80.  if you don't get how I did something let me know.

Now, we want to know the percent increase from $50.88 to $84.80.  We know it is an increase of $33.92.  Well, we can use that.  33.92 is what percent of 50.88.  or an algebra way of writing it is 50.88x = 33.92 So let's solve that real quick.

50.88x = 33.92

x = 33.92/50.88

x = 2/3

So now, in conclusion, startign with a price of $50.88, the store marks it up by 2/3, which is 67% more or less, and then there is a 6.25% sales tax

Please help, showing work is not necessary but appreciated.<br> Find the sum.
marishachu [46]
If I remember right, each column can only go up to 60. so add up to seconds, anything over 60 stays and 1 carries over to the minutes. add those up, anything over 60 stays, and 1 carries over to degrees. then add those.

I got 53° 27' 5"

A new cell tower is being constructed and needs a guy-wire connected 180 feet up the tower and it needs to make an angle of 52°
nevsk [136]

Answer:

228.42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this question, we would be applying the Trigonometric function of Sine.

Sin theta = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Theta = 52°

Opposite = 180ft

Hypotenuse = Length of the wire = x

Hence:

sin 52 = 180/x

x = 180/sin 52

x = 228.42327871 ft

Approximately = 228.42 ft

Answer:

{x}^{ - 2}  =  \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} }  \:  \: –> {7}^{ - 2}  =  \frac{1}{ {7}^{2} }  =  \frac{ 1}{49}  \\  \\  {x}^{ - 1}  =  \frac{1}{ {x}^{1} }   \: –>  {7}^{ - 1}  =  \frac{1}{ {7}^{1} } =  \frac{1}{7}  \\  \\  {x}^{0} –> {7}^{0}   = 1 \\  \\  {x}^{1}  –> {7}^{1}  = 7 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  –> {7}^{2}  = 49
