Tiffany buys a basket of watermelons on sale for \$9$9dollar sign, 9 before tax. The sales tax is 9\%9%9, percent.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

<em>Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

To increase a certain amount by a given percentage, we can first calculate the increasing amount and then add it to the original amount.

If the price of the basket of watermelons was $9 before tax, and the sales tax is 9%, we first calculate the tax amount to pay:

$9 * 9 / 100 = $0.81

Now we add it to $9 to get the total price paid by Tiffany:

Total price = $9 + $0.81 = $9.81

Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons

The vertices of ABC are A(-3,5), B(-2,3), and C(-5,3). If ABC is reflected across the y-axis to produce the image A'B'C', find t

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

$C' =(5,3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-3,5)$

$B = (-2,3)$

$C = (-5,3)$

Reflection across y-axis

Required

Find C'

For reflection across y-axis, the rule is:

$(x,y) \to (-x,y)$

So, the image of C is:

$(-5,3) \to (-(-5),3)$

$(-5,3) \to (5,3)$

Hence:

$C' =(5,3)$
