Answer: $4.52

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, sales tax rate is $8.25 per $100, this means that for every $100 item sold, $8.25 will be paid as sales tax.

Sales tax for 54.80 = x

Step 2: write the equation as;

8.25 = $100

Sales tax for $1 item will be (divide both sides by 100

$8. 25/ 100 = $0.0825

Step 3: determine the sales tax on $1 item, that is if sales tax $1 item = $0.0825

Sales tax for $54.80 item will be 0.0825 x 54.80

= $4.52

Find the distance between (2, 2) and (-4, 4). Round answer to the nearest tenth.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

6.3

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we need the distance formula, which is:

$\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

If we plug in the points, we get:

$\sqrt{(-4 - 2)^2 + (4 - 2)^2}$

If we simplify everything under the square root, we get:

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

$\sqrt{36 + 4}$

$\sqrt{40}$

In decimal, the answer is 6.3

If b is the midpoint of ac and if c is the midpoint of bd, then what percent of cd is ac

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

ac is 200% of cd

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we shall be making a visual representation.

Let’s take it one at a time.

Given;

b is the midpoint of ac

a b c

What this means is that a-b represents 50%, while bc represents another 50%

okay, we move on:

c is the midpoint of bd

b c d

What this means is that bc is 50%, while cd is another 50%.

So let’s combine the representations;

a 50% b 50% c 50% d

Now what does the question says again?

What percent of cd is ac?

From a to c, we can see two 50% which means 100%

while cd is just the regular 50%

So we can see that ac is actually twice cd

What we are saying here is , if cd is x, then ac is 2x

So we can restructure our question to mean, what percent of x is 2x?

That is simply 2x/x * 100 and that is 200%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the decay factor, m = 0.0005

f(x) = $1 - e^{-mx}$

f(9000) = $1 - e^{-0.0005*9000}$ = 1 - 0.0111 = 0.99
