Answer:

The total price of the CD, including tax, is 14.28 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to figure out what 20% of 17 dollars is. To do this, we multiply 17 times .20, which is 20% as a decimal. This comes to 3.4, which we subtract from 17 to take off 20% as the problems asks and we get $13.60.

To add the 5% sales tax to the CD we basically do the same thing as above but instead of subtracting, we are going to add. So we multiply 13.6 (the new price of the CD) times .05 and get 0.68 cents as the sales tax. We add this to 13.6 and get 14.28.

Therefore, $14.28 is the answer.

Answer:

$14.28

Step-by-step explanation:

If the CD is $17 and is have a 20% off then you multiply .20 and 17 to get the amount that is off. Subtract that answer from 17 and you should get $13.60. That is the cost of the CD WITHOUT tax. To apply the tax, you multiply the cost and 0.05 (5%) to get 0.68. 0.68 is the tax cost. To get the entire cost of the CD, you add 0.68 (tax) and price (13.60) and get $14.28.

Question 8: Find the equation of the straight line that:

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

$y=4x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope (also called the gradient) and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

<u>1) Plug the gradient into the equation (b)</u>

$y=mx+b$

We're given that the gradient of the line is 4. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ as m:

$y=4x+b$

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

$y=4x+b$

Plug in the given point (1,10) as (x,y) and solve for b

$10=4(1)+b\\10=4+b$

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate b

$10-4=4+b-4\\6=b$

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 6. Plug this back into $y=4x+b$ as b:

$y=4x+6$

I hope this helps!

subtracting 1 from the product of 5 and x gives the same value as adding 10 to the product of 3 and x

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

x = 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We would first put it in an equation

5x - 1 = 10 + 3x

We would first add 1 on both sides

5x = 11 + 3x

Then we subtract 3x on both sides

2x = 11

Divide both sides by 2

x = 11/2

IM having trouble trying to solve this problem

Answer:

You would have approximately 201 insects.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the final population of the insects, you need to first insert the values of each variable you know into the equation. The initial population at time $t=0$ would be 100 insects, the rate of population growth coverted to decimal form would be 0.1, and the elapsed time since time $t=0$ is 7 days. Now the new equation would be $P = 100(e)^{0.1*7}$ .
