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!

vivado [14]

They are essentially asking us to solve:

357=900e^{-0.01155x} \implies\\ \frac{357}{900}=e^{-0.01155x} \implies\\ \ln{\frac{357}{900}}=-0.01155x \implies \\ x\approx 80.1

Solving this equation for x tells us that it will take around 80.1 years for the materials in the vault to reduce to 357 pounds.

Nostrana [21]

Answer: 14.07\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Max is driving at a speed of 42\ mph

It took him three-quarters of a second i.e. 0.75\ s

Speed in meter per second is 18.77\ m/s

Distance is given by

d=v\times t

Reaction distance is

d=18.77\times 0.75=14.07\ m

(intro) Slope is change in y divided by change in x (axes). Here, the y axis is depth and the x axis is hours. So, the slope is change in depth between any two points, divided by the change in hours between the same points. The slope of this line is half a foot depth divided by 2 hours.
a) So, the slope is 0.5 / 2 = 0.25, or 1/4.
b) The graph shows a constant rate of change because the line is straight (it increases at the same speed. If the line was curving, it would not be a constant rate of change).
c) Yes, because the line has a constant rate of change now.

Find the missing probability.<br><br> P(A)=13/20,P(A∩B)=13/25,P(B|A)=?
Tju [1.3M]

By definition of conditional probability,

P(B | A) = P(A ∩ B)/P(A) = (13/25) / (13/20) = 20/25 = 4/5
