6.5% tax on $65.49=0.065×65.49=$4.26 To the nearest cent, so add this to 65.49=$69.75.
Answer:
1/25
Step-by-step explanation:
0.04 = 4/100 = 1/25
Lets call those two unknown numbers a, b and write the info in the problem as equations:
a*b = 30
a + b = 40
lets solve for a in the second equation and substitute in the first:
<span>a + b = 40
</span>a = 40 - b
therefore:
<span>a*b = 30
</span>(40 - b)b = 30
40b - b^2 = 30
b^2 - 40b + 30 = 0
if we apply the general quadratic equation to solve we have:
b = (40 +- √(1600 - 120))/2
b = (40 +- √(1480<span>))/2
</span>b = (40 +- 38.47)/2
There are two solutions:
<span>b1 = (40 + 38.47)/2
</span><span>b1 = 39.24
b2 = (40 - 38.47)/2
</span>b2 = 0.765
lets use the second solution <span>b2 = 0.765, and substitute in the first equation to find a:
</span><span>a*b = 30
</span>a*0.765 = 30
a = 30/0.765
a = 39.216
so the numbers are 39.216 and 0.765
Answer:
32.5 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
All sides of a square have the same length. Area would therefore be:
(5.7 ft)(5.7 ft) = 32.5 ft^2
For this case the distance will be given by:
d ^ 2 = (12 * 1.5) ^ 2 + (8 * 1.5) ^ 2
Rewriting we have:
d ^ 2 = (18) ^ 2 + (12) ^ 2
d ^ 2 = 324 + 144
d ^ 2 = 468
d = root (468)
d = 21.63 Km
Answer:
1) She did not find the full distance each traveled in 1.5 hours.
2) She should have used 12 km for Joseph's distance and 18 km for Isabelle's distance.
