22.75/350=0.065
0.065*100=6.5 so it is a 6.5% tax rate

Hope this helps :)

A map has a scale of 1 cm : 21 km. Two cities are 3.1 cm apart on the map. To the nearest tenth of a kilometer, what is the actu

MatroZZZ [7]

For the answer to the question above,
use the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio between 1 cm to 21 km should be the same as the ratio of 3.1 cm to the actual distance. Let x be the unknown actual distance and mathematically express the situation,

(1 cm/ 21 km) = (3.1 cm / x km)

This equation gives a value for x which is 65.1 km. Therefore, the answer is letter C.

What is the exact distance from (–1, 4) to (6, –2)? (4 points) units units units units

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

$\sqrt{85}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 2)

d = $\sqrt{(6+1)^2+(-2-4)^2}$

= $\sqrt{7^2+(-6)^2}$

= $\sqrt{49+36}$

= $\sqrt{85}$ ← exact distance

Estimate 58% of 112 using benchmark percents. Explain your answer.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

64.96

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common benchmark percents are $0\% , 10\% , 25\% , 50\% , 75\%$ and $100\%$

We are given $58\%$ which is closest to $50\%$ .

Now we calculate $50\% \ of \ 112$ which is equal to $56$ .

We are left with $8\%$ more to add.

We can say $1\% \ of \ 112 \ is\ 1.12$

Therefore $8\% \ of \ 112 \ would \ be \ 1.12\times8=8.96$

Now add the two.

$56+8.96= 64.96$

Thus 64.96 is the answer.

The Frill family and the Smith family go to the movies.

Sati [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the price of 1 adult ticket.

Let c be the price of 1 child ticket.

given,

$6a + 2c = 124$

as equation 1,

and

$3a + 5c = 100$

as equation 2.

Now we will solve for a and c using elimination method of simultaneous equations.

Now we multiply equation 2 by 2 to eliminate a and solve for c.

$3a \times 2 + 5c \times 2 = 100 \times 2 \\ 6a + 10c = 200$

This new equation will be equation 3.

Now we will use equation 1 - equation 3 to eliminate a and solve for c.

$(6a - 6a) + (2c - 10c) = 124 - 200 \\ 0 + ( - 8c) = - 76 \\ - 8c = - 76 \\ c = - 76 \div - 8 \\ = 9.5$

Now substitute c into equation 2.

$3a + 5(9.5) = 100 \\ 3a + 47.5 = 100 \\ 3a = 100 - 47.5 \\ 3a = 52.5 \\ a = 52.5 \div 3 \\ = 17.5$

Therefore one adult ticket will cost $17.50 and one child ticket will cost $9.50.
