Stacie paid $13.25 for new earphones. The price she paid included a sales tax of 6%.

1 answer:

6 0

Let us assume the original cost of the earphones = x dollars
Then
x * (106/100) = 13.25
x = 13.25 * (100/106)
= 1325/106
= 12.50 dollars
So the actual cost of the earphones was $12.50. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B".

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled by the equation f(x)=7+5x

Because if f(1)=7+5=12, f(2)=7+10=17, and f(x)=7+15=22

If x=50 then f(50)=7+5(50)

f(50)=$257

How do you think we could use estimating irrational numbers?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction. It is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal. Approximate square root of numbers that are not perfect squares and put them on the number line.

a car travels 120 mi. a second car, travelling 10 mph faster than the first car, makes the same trip in 1 hr less time. find the

Murrr4er [49]

Let x be the speed of the first car, then (x + 10) is the speed of the second car.

We can write the equation by the condition of the problem:

$\frac{120}{x}- \frac{120}{x+10}=1 \\ 120(x+10)-120(x)=1(x)(x+10) \\ 120x+1200-120x=x^2+10x \\ x^2+10x-1200=0 \\ D=b^2-4ac=10^2-4*1*(-1200) = 100+4800 = 4900 \\ x_{1,2}= \frac{-bб \sqrt{D} }{2a} \\ \\ x_1= \frac{-10- \sqrt{4900} }{2}= \frac{-10-70}{2} = -\frac{80}{2}=-40 \ \ \ \O$

$x_2= \frac{-10+ \sqrt{4900} }{2}= \frac{-10+70}{2} = \frac{60}{2}=30$ mph speed of the first car

Then 30+10=40 mph speed of the second car

Answer: 30mph and 40 mph.

I hope this helps.

Wouldn’t it just be 94 degrees? please help

We know that the m<RTV = 65°.

If we know that the m<UTV = 29°, we can simply

subtract the m<UTV from the m<RTV to get the answer.

So we have 65 - 29 or 36°.
