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.

PLEASE HELP ASAP THE DETAILS ARE BELOW.What is the value of x?

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

x = 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dashes on the three lines indicate that the three lines are of equal lengths. The smaller triangle made out of the three lines (the one with two vertices on the circumference of the circle and one at the center of the circle) is an isosceles triangle. All three of the triangle's interior angles are 60° since it is isosceles.

The line (the one with arrows on its ends) touches the circle at only one point. That line is a tangent to the circle. That line is perpendicular to the segment that connects the center of the circle to the point of tangency. The angle between the two will be 90°.

The largest triangle includes three angles:

The angle with the center of the circle as its vertice: 60°;
The right angle due to the tangent to the circle: 90°;
The angle x°.

What is the value of x?

The three interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°. As a result,

60° + 90° + x° = 180°

x = 180 - 90 - 60 = 30.

If a sphere’s volume is doubled, what is the corresponding change in its radius?

velikii [3]

Volume of a sphere = (4/3) (pi) (radius)³

The sphere's volume is proportional to the cube of its radius,
so the radius is proportional to the cube-root of the volume.

The only way to double a sphere's volume is to increase
its radius by the factor of
∛2 = 1.26 (rounded).

Find the value of x.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

$x=129$ °

Step-by-step explanation:

A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two places. The secants interior angle theorem states that when two secants intersect a circle inside a circle, the measure of any one of the angles formed is equal to half of the sum of the two intersecting arcs. Therefore, one can apply this theorem here:

$x=\frac{204+54}{2}$
