Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the tax percent was x%. Then, we can write the equation:

4.75 + x% * 4.75 = 5.13

Notice that both terms on the left have 4.75 so factor that out:

4.75 * (1 + x%) = 5.13

Divide both sides by 4.75:

1 + x% = 5.13/4.75 = 1.08

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x% = 0.08

Remember that % simply means "out of 100", so x% = x/100:

x/100 = 0.08

Multiply both sides by 100:

x = 8

Thus, the tax rate is 8%.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

External angle equals to the sum of opposite internal angles

z - 41° + z - 20° = z + 40°

2z - 61° = z + 40°

2z - z - 61° = 40°

z - 61° = 40

z = 40° + 61°

z = 101°

Carl and rose live in the same straight road. From their balconies they can see a flagpole in the distance. The angle that each
Andreyy89

Carl and Rose' balconies make up the base of an isosceles triangle.

Their distances from the flagpole is the same.

From the question, we understand that:

  • Carl and Rose live on a straight line
  • The measure of angle from each person's balcony to the flagpole is the same

The above highlights mean that:

The relationship between Carl and Rose' balconies and the flagpole is an isosceles triangle.

Where Carl and Rose' balconies form the base of the isosceles triangle.

Hence, their distances from the flagpole is the same.

Choose the correct simplification of (4x − 3)(3x2 − 4x − 3).

Find the coordinats of P
Crazy boy [7]

\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ A(8,6)\qquad B(-2,-9)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{3:2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{P}}{\underline{P} B} = \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{3}{2}\implies 2A=3B\implies 2(8,6)=3(-2,-9)

(\stackrel{x}{16}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{12})=(\stackrel{x}{-6}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-27})\implies P=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{16-6}}{3+2}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{12-27}}{3+2} \right)} \\\\\\ P=\left( \cfrac{10}{5}~~,~~\cfrac{-15}{5} \right)\implies P=(2~~,~~-3)
