5 0

Okay. So Daniella wants to have a take-home pay of at least $51,000, but she ahs to pay 15% income tax, which means 15% of what she earns will be gone. To find out the least amont of salary she needs to make, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

51,000/x = 85/100

This is because we are looking for the amount of money made overall, but the $51,000 is only part of the salary earned, and even though you pay 15% income tax, you still take home 85% of your salary. Cross multiply the valyes in order to get 5,100,000 = 85x. Divide each side by 85 to isolate the variable. 5,100,000/85 is 60,000. Let's check this by multiplying by 85% (0.85). 60,000 * 0.85 is 51,000. There. x = 60,000. Daniella will need to make at least $60,000.

Answer:

Approximately $68.5\; \rm mm$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the angle of this sector to radians:

$\begin{aligned}\theta &= 127^{\circ} \\ &= 127^{\circ} \times \frac{2\pi}{360^{\circ}} \\ &\approx 2.22\end{aligned}$ .

The formula $s = r\, \theta$ relates the arc length $s$ of a sector of angle $\theta$ (in radians) to the radius $r$ of this sector.

In this question, it is given that the arc length of this sector is $s = 36\; \rm mm$ . It was found that $\theta = 2.22$ radians. Rearrange the equation $s = r\, \theta$ to find the radius $r$ of this sector:

$\begin{aligned} r&= \frac{s}{\theta} \\ &\approx \frac{36\; \rm mm}{2.22} \\ &\approx 16.2\; \rm mm\end{aligned}$ .

The perimeter of this sector would be:

$\begin{aligned}& 2\, r + s \\ =\; & 2 \times 16.2\; {\rm mm} + 36\; {\rm mm} \\ =\; & 68.5\; \rm mm\end{aligned}$ .

Let x represent the side length of the squares.

We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

The side of box will be $8-x-x=8-2x$ and $10-x-x=10-2x$ .
