Answer:

sales-tax rate = 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a silk scarf is $32. The sales tax is $1.92

Let the sale tax rate be s%

Price of silk scarf = $32

Sale tax = s% of 32

Sale tax = $1.92

Thus,

s% of 32 = 1.92

First we change s% to decimal

\dfrac{s}{100}\times 32=1.92

s=\dfrac{1.92\times 100}{32}

s=6\%

Hence, The sales-tax rate is 6%

Several paint mixtures are made by mixing blue paint and white paint. Paint Colors Blue Paint White Paint Mixture A 5 cups 12 cu
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The mixture C is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given scenario, the calculation is as follows:

For Mixture A

Blue Paint - 5 cups

White Paint - 12 cups

The ratio between them is 5:12

For Mixture B

Blue Paint - 6 cups

White Paint - 6 cups

 The ratio between them is 6:6 = 12:12

It came by multiply the numerator and denominator by 12

For Mixture C

Blue Paint - 4 cups

White Paint - 12 cups

 The ratio between them is 4:12

For Mixture D

Blue Paint - 5 cups

White Paint - 6 cups

 The ratio between them is 5:6 = 10:12

It came by multiply the numerator and denominator by 12

As it can be seen that in all four mixtures the denominator is the same so for calculating the lowest ratio we have to see the small value in the numerator

As it can be seen that there is a small value of 4

hence, the mixture C is the correct option

Please helppppp meeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

The option is C i.e 115°, 65°. proof is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ABCD is a quadrilateral.

m∠ A = 100 + 5x

m∠ B = 77 - 4y

m∠ C = 106 + 3x

m∠ D = 47 + 6y

To Prove:

ABCD is a parallelogram if opposing angles are congruent by finding the measures of angles.

m∠ A = m∠ C and

m∠ B = m∠ D

Proof:

ABCD is a quadrilateral and is a parallelogram if opposing angles are congruent.

∴ m∠ A = m∠ C

On substituting the given values we get

∴  100 + 5x  = 106 +3x

∴ 5x-3x=106-100\\\\2x=6\\\\x =\frac{6}{2} \\\\x=3

m∠ A = 100 + 5x = 100 + 5 × 3 =100 + 15 = 115°

m∠ C = 106 + 3x = 106 + 3 ×3 =106 + 9 = 115°

∴  m∠ A = m∠ C = 115°

Similarly,

∴ m∠ B = m∠ D

77 - 4y = 47 + 6y

10y = 77 - 47

10y =30

∴y=\frac{30}{10} \\y = 3\\

m∠ B = 77 - 4y =77 - 4 × 3 = 77 - 12 = 65°

m∠ D = 47 + 6y = 47 + 6 × 3 = 47 + 18 = 65°

∴ m∠ B = m∠ D = 65°

Therefore the option is C i.e 115°, 65°
