Answer:

Sample Response: Kelvin should have subtracted $18.39 from $30.65 to find the marked down price. He could also have multiplied the original cost by 40% to find the sale price of $12.26.

The error.....Kelvin just figured the 60% markdown cost...not the final price

the final price would be : 30.65 - 0.60(30.65) = 30.65 - 18.39 = 12.26
so 12.26 is the final price

or another way to do this is : if it is marked down 60%, then u r actually paying 40%......0.40(30.65) = 12.26

Starting from 100 feet away, your friend skates toward you and then passes by you. She skates at a constant speed of 20 ft/sec.

Your friend's distance from her starting point to your position is decreasing until she passes by you.  This distance is D(t) = 100 ft - (20 ft / sec)t.  We'll assume that your friend doesn't actually pass by you; she just gets closer and closer, from her initial 100 ft distance from you.  Then:

D(t) = 40 ft = 100 ft - (20 ft / sec)t.  Simplifying, we get:

-60 ft = -(20 ft / sec)t, and thus t = 3 sec.

The sales tax on a surfboard is $12. What is the percent of sales tax if it is $240
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: Percentage of sales tax will be 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Original amount of a surfboard = $240

Sales tax on a surfboard = $12

So, Percentage of sales tax will be

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Original\ price}\times 100\\\\=\frac{12}{24}\times 100\\\\=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\\\\=\frac{100}{2}\\\\=5\%

Hence, Percentage of sales tax will be 5%.
