Answer:

A. The Long family paid $2.63 too little for their purchases.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the Long family spent $38.62 for school supplies and $215.78 for new school clothes. They paid 6.8% sales tax on their purchases.

First of all, we will add both amounts as:

\$38.62+$215.78=\$254.40

Now, we will find 6.8% of 254.40.

\text{Amount of tax paid}=\$254.40\times \frac{6.8}{100}

\text{Amount of tax paid}=\$254.40\times0.068

\text{Amount of tax paid}=\$17.2992

Upon adding $254.40 and $17.2992, we will get total amount paid by Long family.

\text{Total amount paid by Long family}=\$254.40+\$17.2992

\text{Total amount paid by Long family}=\$271.6992

Now, we will subtract $271.6992 from $269.07:

\$269.07-\$271.6992

-\$2.6292\approx -\$2.63

Since the long family paid $2.63 less than actual amount, therefore, the Long family paid $2.63 too little for their purchases and option A is the correct choice.

Which ratio would help find the distance the person is from the flag pole ¨X¨ if the angle is elevation of 30 degrees.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

There are three major trignometric ratios in mathematics and they are:

sine(sin), cosine(cos) and tangent(tan). A popular acronym is used in recalling the formula for each ratio and it is: SOH-CAH-TOA.

Sine(x) = Opp/Hyp

Cosine(x) = Adj/Hyp

Tangent(x) = Opp/Adj

Now, the Hyp is the hypothenus of the triangle and it is the side opposite to angle 90. The opposite and adjacent is kind of relative depending on the angle been considered. For this case, we are considering angle 30 which the opposite side is 60 and the remaining side becomes the adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 30 = 60/x

If x + 4 = 32, does x = 8?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

I say no because if we were to replace x with 8, the equation should look like this = 8 + 4 = 32. Since this doesn't make sense, 8 cannot be x. X would be 28 which would equal 32 and would be the right answer.
