Answer:

$260

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual price + 8% of actual price=$280.80

Let x= actual price

8% of actual price=8/100 of x

=0.08x

x + 0.08x=$280.80

1.08x=$280.80

x=$280.80/1.08

x=$260

Price of the jacket before sales tax=$260

Check:

8% sales tax of $260

=8% of $260

=8/100×$260

=0.08×$260

=$20.8

Purchasing price= actual price+ sales tax

=$260+$20.8

=$280.80

A self-tanning lotion advertises that a 4 -oz bottle will provide seven applications. Jen found a great deal on a 13 -oz bott

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

22.75 applications

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we understand that:

4 -oz bottle = 7 applications

13 -oz bottle = x applications

Cross Multiply

4 -oz bottle × x applications = 13 -oz bottle × 7 applications

x applications = 13 -oz bottle × 7 applications/4 -oz bottle

x applications = 22.75 applications

Therefore, the number of applications of the 13 -oz bottle self-tanner that should Jen expect is 22.75 applications.

1. If a bicycle wheel has a diameter of 15 in. How far will the wheel rotate in 10 rotations?

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

150 pi inches or 471.239 inches traveled

Step-by-step explanation:

First, close your eyes, and think about the distance a bike travels after one rotation of the wheel.

You will come to the realization that a full rotation of the wheel makes you travel the circumference of the wheel

The formula for circumference is 2(pi)(r) or (pi)(diameter)

We are given diameter, so let's find distance traveled for one rotation

pi(15 inches) = 15pi inches per rotation.

There are 10 rotations, so:

(15pi inches/rotation)(10 rotations) = 150pi inches travelled

150 x pi = 471.239 inches traveled
