Try it with some random number, like a=3.
Is "3+0 = 0+3 = 0" true? No.
If you were doing multiplication, then it would be true, but not with addition.
Scale factor is used by architects or engineers to transfer their prototype idea to large-scale use. If the volume of a prism is 20, you need to multiply its dimensions with a scale factor to find the new volume which is 540. For example, if the volume is doubled, this means you used a scale factor of 2. Hence, you just have to divide the new volume by the smaller volume.
Scale factor = 540/20
Scale factor = 27
Answer:
$23.42
Step-by-step explanation:
- To find the sales tax, you need to 6.5% of $21.99
- To do this you have to times need to turn 6.5% into a decimal, which is 0.065 (i moved decimal point 2 numbers to the left)
- then you do 0.065 × 21.99 which equals 1.42935
- now you have to add 21.99 with 1.42935 = 23.41935
- because of the context of the question, you need the answer needs to be rounded up to the nearest hundredth.
- making the answer $23.42 total
