The correct answer is C. $ 9.38

Explanation:

The first step to solve this mathematical problem is to know the price of the shoes. About this, we know the price is 1/4 of $88 plus taxes. You can find how much is 1/4 of $88 by following this process:

1. Write the amounts given

\frac{1}{4}  of 88

2. Divide the number by the denominator (bottom number) and then multiply by the numerator

88 ÷ 4 = 22

22 x 1 = 22

This means the discount was  $22 and $88- $22 = $66, which is the price with the discount. Now, it is necessary to add the sales tax, which can be done by finding the 7% of $66 and adding this number to $66 (the price of the shoes including the 1/4 discount)

1.  Write the values

66 = 100 (66 represents the total or 100%)

x   =  7 (7% is the value you want to know and the x represents the value is not known)

2. Cross multiply

x 100 = 462

3. Find x

x = 462 ÷ 100

x = 4. 62 ( value of taxes)

Now, add the taxes to the price $66 + $ 4.62 = $70.62 (price with taxes). Finally, we know Devon paid using four $20 bills. This means he gave the clerk $80 ($20 x 4 = $80). Finally, to know how much is the change subtract the price of the shoes from the money Devon gave the clerk $80 - $70.62 = $9.38

Find the slope, Y-intercept, and equation (make sure there is no decimals if there is a decimal make it into a fraction)!
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Slope is 5/3

y-intercept = -3

y = 5/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, take to coordinates and use the equation below

m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

7-2 = 5

6-3= 3

Now you have your slope which is 5/3

Then take the slope and input it into point slope form to get your y-intercept.

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

y-2 = 5/3(x-3)

y-2=5/3x-5

add two to both sides to get Y by itself

y = 5/3x - 3

now you have your y-intercept, which is -3

Then check your answer by inputing two different coordinates for X and Y

7 = 5/3(6)-3

7=7

12= 5/3(9)-3

12=12

Find the area of this regular polygon.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.<br> 8.65 mm<br> [? ]mm2
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Actually it's not polygon. it's a nonagon. With r=8.65mm″, the law of cosines gives us side a:

a=√{b²+c²−2bc×cos40°}

a=√{149.645−149.645cos40°}

Area Nonagon = (9/4)a²cos40°

=9/4[149.645−149.645cos40°]cot20°

=336.70125[1−cos(40°)]cot(20°)

Applying an identity for the cos(40°) does not get us very far…

= 336.70125[1−(cos2(20°)−1)]cot(20°)

= 336.70125[2−cos2(20°)]cot(20°)

= 336.70125[2−(1−sin2(20°))]cot(20°)

= 336.70125[1+sin2(20°)]cos(20°)sin(20°)

= 336.70125[cot(20°)+sin(20°)cos(20°)]mm²

Area of the shaded segment=
garik1379 [7]

The area of the entire sector is (\pi)(6^{2}) \left(\frac{60}{360} \right)=6\pi

The area of the triangle OAB is \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(6^{2})=9\sqrt{3}.

So, the area of the segment is \boxed{6\pi-9\sqrt{3}}
