The sales tax on a surfboard is $12. What is the percent of sales tax?

X= sales tax %

Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)

Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %

The sales tax is 5%.

Hope this helps! :)

The longest side of an isosceles right triangle measures 16m. What is the perimeter ofthe triangle?

Andreyy89

Answer:

In right triangle hypotenus(side facing angle 90)is the longest

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say hyp=side1 +side2 were(side1=side2 in isocseles..) and Let x bet the length of side 1

So by applying phythegoras theorem :

hyp^2=x^2+x^2

16^2 =2x^2

2x^2=256

x^2=128

$\sqrt{x { }^{2} } = \sqrt{128}$

x=

$8 \sqrt{2}$

Parameter=16+8

$8 \sqrt{2 } + 8 \sqrt{2 } + 16$

$16 \sqrt{2} + 16$

What is the answer here and explain why.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4(- x + 8) = 0

- 4≠ 0, so

- x + 8 = 0 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- x = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = 8
