Answer:
12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
The price increased from 800 to 900. So what is the PERCENTAGE INCREASE??
The increase is 900 - 800 = 100
To find this in terms of original, we need to divide 100 by 800 and multiply by 100 to get the "percentage". Let's do it:

So the increase is 12.5% and thus the general sales tax is 12.5%
A, because in order to find the price for each unit you must divide the total price by the number of units bought and 9p=54.90 you would end up dividing both sides by nine which would then get you to find the price of each unit
This is a geometric sequence with first term 1 and common ratio -1/2. r=-1/2.
a(n) = a(1)*(r)^(n-1).
Check: If n=2 our formula must return -1/2. Does it?
a(2) = 1(-1/2)^(2-1) = (-1/2)^1 = - 1/2. Yes.
a(3) should be 1/4. Is it? a(3) = (-1/2)^(3-1) = 1/4 Yes.
Then a(8) = (-1/2)^(8-1) = (-1/2)^7 = -1 / 2^7 = -1/128 (answer)
Answer:
and
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be simplified with the help of trigonometric identities:

Which means that equation is equal to zero if any component of the product is zero. The solutions of the expression are:
a) 

b) 



Any value different of both subsets do not satisfy the equation described above.
You want to begin by changing your units to the same thing. The problem uses minutes and hours, and according to time 1 hour is 60 minutes.
Since we have 2 hours we want to multiply 60 by 2 to get 120. According to the problem, the biker to an extra 30 minutes and adding that to the time we already calculated we get 150.
We can say, the biker took 150 minutes to go through 45 miles. To find out how many miles he took per minute, we divide them (45/150) to get that he or she went through 0.3 miles per minute.
Again, we know 1 hour is 60 minutes, so to get how many miles per hour we want to multiply .3 by 60. This gets us 18.
Therefore, the biker travels 18 miles per hour
