World Bank's threshold for poverty is $1.25 per person per day. 
For a family of four this gives:
Daily income = (number of people) * threshold
Daily income = 4 * $1.25
Daily income = $5
For a year this is:
Yearly income = (daily income) *365
Yearly income = $5 *365
Yearly income = $1825

U.S. poverty threshold is set at $29000. Portion of threshold can be calculated as:
Portion\text{ }of\text{ }threshold= \frac{Poverty\text{ }threshold\text{ }(World\text{ }Bank)}{Poverty\text{ }threshold\text{ }(U.S.)} *100\% \\  \\ Portion\text{ }of\text{ }threshold= \frac{1825}{29000} *100\% \\  \\ Portion\text{ }of\text{ }threshold=6.29\%

The poverty threshold measured by World Bank is 6.29% of the U.S. poverty threshold.

Kate bought a T-shirt for $12.95 and a pair of shorts for $10.95. She paid 6.25% in tax. What is her total amount that she paid?
sergeinik [125]

Kate paid $25.39 for her purchases.

Kate will receive $24.61 in change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of t-shirt = $12.95

Cost of pair of shorts = $10.95

Total = cost of t-shirt + cost of pair of shorts

Total = 12.95 + 10.95 = $23.90

Sales tax = 6.25% of total amount

Amount of sales tax = \frac{6.25}{100}*23.90=\frac{149.375}{100}

Amount of sales tax= $1.49

Total amount with sales tax = 23.90 + 1.49 = $25.39

Kate paid $25.39 for her purchases.

Amount paid = $50

Change received = Amount paid - Bill amount

Change received = 50 - 25.39 = $24.61

Kate will receive $24.61 in change.

I don’t understand how to find the dimension,<br> Need help :c
slava [35]

Width = W

Length = 2 times the width plus 3 feet = 2W + 3

Area of triangle A = L * W

A = W (2W + 3)

20 = 2W^2 + 3W

2W^2 + 3W - 20 = 0

(W + 4) (2W - 5) = 0

W + 4 = 0; W = - 4 (width cannot be negative, excluded)

2W - 5 = 0

2W = 5

W = 2.5

L = 2W + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 8

Answer:

Width = 2.5 feet and Length = 8 feet

Hope it helps.

Answer:

x+20⩾50

Step-by-step explanation:

in inequality, the word at least means that is equal or more than. so that means that Allie might equal or more than 50 hours in the model but if you're to solve it, Allie will need 30 or more hours. and since she already has 20, add the 20.
