Given:

  • $35 is charged per form, but $0 if only the easiest form is filed.
  • $2 donated for every single tax return filed (since it is not explicitly mentioned otherwise, I will assume she donates $2 whether she charges $35 or does it for free)
  • Total amount charged for the full year = $7245
  • Total amount donated for the full year = $1242

To Find: The number of forms for which Sterre charged $35 and the number of forms Sterre did it for free.

Concept:

We can make use of the Unitary Method here. <u>Given the number of units in a group, the Unitary Method can be used to find the value of a single unit or and individual unit when we are given the value for a group.</u>

So,

<u>Value of Single Unit = Value of Entire Group of Units ÷ Number of Units in the Group</u>


Explanation & Calculation:

We are given that Sterre charged $7245 for the full year. Taking each Unit as the $35 type of form, and value of each Unit would be the amount that Sterre charges per form which is obviously $35, we can find the number of $35 forms using the expression written above.

So, putting in the values into the expression,

$35 = $7245 ÷ number of $35 forms

Therefore, number of $35 forms = $7245 ÷ $35

Using simple division, number of $35 forms = 207

Next, we are given Sterre donated $1242 in the full year and she donates $2 for every form (whether it is the $35 form or the free form).

If this time, we define each Unit as being each form (both $35 form and free form), value of each unit we define as the $2 donation money, we see that the value of the full group of units is $1242.

So, putting the values into the expression,

$2 = $1242 ÷ total number of forms

Therefore, total number of forms = $1242 ÷ $2

Using simple division, total number of forms = 621


Conclusion:

Sterre has filed <u>a total of 621 tax returns</u> (both charged and for free).

Of these 621 returns filed, <u>for 207 forms, Sterre charged $35</u>.

The number of returns Sterre filed for free (that is, the easiest forms) is

Total number of forms - Chargeable forms = 621 - 207 = 414

Thus, Sterre filed <u>414 tax returns for free</u>.

Use grouping symbols and at least one exponent to write a numerical expression that has a value of 80.
Kaylis [27]

To group an expression, means that the factors of the expression are to be separated in (), [] or {}.

An expression with a value of 80 is: 2^2 \times ( [2 + 2] \times [3 + 2] )

The number is given as:

80

Factorize

80 = 2 \times 40

Factorize 40

80 = 2 \times 2 \times 20

Express 2 \times 2 as an exponent

80 = 2^2 \times 20

Express 20 as 4 x 5

80 = 2^2 \times ( 4 \times 5)

Express 5 as 3 + 2

80 = 2^2 \times ( 4 \times [3 + 2] )

Express 4 as 2 + 2

80 = 2^2 \times ( [2 + 2] \times [3 + 2] )

Hence, the above expression has a numerical value of 80

You like math then here
Igoryamba

Answer:

-8b + 9 - 5k

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the blue highlighted portion is your answer, and is not a part of the initial question

(-4b + 15 - 7k) - (6 + 4b - 2k)

Combine like terms

-4b - + 4b

Negative + Positive = Negative

-4b - 4b = -8b

15 - 6 = 9

-7k - - 2k

Negative + Negative = Positive

-7k + 2k = -5k

Put them all together:

0b + 9 - 5k

Simplify

-8b + 9 - 5k

I got the same answer as you (just in a different order)

Sketch the graph of the function f(x) = -(x-4)^3 by indicating how a more basic function has been shifted, reflected, stretched,
irina [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached images we can see the rigid transformation of the function f(x) =x^{3}

1. The basic graph f(x) =x^{3}

2. The reflected graph f(x) = -x^{3}

3. The displaced graph f(x) = -(x-4)^{3}

Reflection: In the expression f(x) = -(x-4)^{3} , the sign - before the parenthesis indicates that the function is reflected in the x axis, for this case the function is even, this means that -f(x) = f(-x) , then the reflection on the x axis is equal to the reflection on the y axis.

Displacement: We observe the term (x-4) of the function f(x) = -(x-4)^{3} and analyze the value -4, where, the sign - indicates displacement to the right and the value 4 indicates the amount that the graph shifted .

Answer:

i have no idea. But i will answer because i'm still learning.

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (3a – 2) = 1/3(7 – 3a)

is whats the question

ok its i'm guessing      -2 (3a – 2) = 1/3(7 – 3a)
