Since we are looking for the principal amount, then all we have to do is reverse the process of getting the amount of tax. In order to get the principal, you just have to divide 22 with 0.05. The answer is 440 so that is the principal amount you are looking for.
1. 1/6
2. 1/8
3. 80%
4. 1/5
5. 2/8 or 25%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Here, the first term is .48 and the common ratio is 1/100 (since each new 48 is 1/100 th of the previous 48). a
Use the formula s = sum of geometric series = -----------
1 - r
0.48 48
which in this case is s = --------------- = ------------ = 48/99 = 16/33
1 - 1/100 100 - 1
Check this result by finding 16/33 on a calculator. Is the result equal to 0.484848484848.... ? Yes
b) Here we have the bar over the 8 only. 0.48 with the bar over the 8 is equivalent to 0.4888888888 ...
0.08
or 0.4 + 0.0888888888 ... or 0.4 + ------------
1 - 1/10
0.08 8
and this simplifies to 0.4 + ------------ = 0.4 + ---------
9/10 90
Evaluating this last result on a calculator results in 0.488888888 ...
c) 0.48 expressed as a fraction is 48/100 = 12/25
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation: Im sorry if I am wrong A and B are pretty good answer but I would stick to B
