Answer:

The ratio of the sales tax to Josh income is greater than the sales tax to aaron income (As the income of the Josh is less as compared to the arron income) this shows the tax is bigger burden for the Josh as compared to the aaron .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The sales tax on a $20 hammer is 7 percent, or $1.40.

As income of the  josh is 15000 and the income of the aaron is $150000 .

Now the ratio of the sales tax to the josh income .

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{1.40}{15000}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{14}{15000\times 10}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{7}{75000}

In decimal form

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = 0.000093\ (Approx)

Now the ratio of the  sales tax to the aaron income .

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{1.40}{150000}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{14}{150000\times 10}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{7}{750000}

In decimal form

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = 0.0000093\ (Approx)

Thus as the ratio of the sales tax to Josh income is greater than the sales tax to aaron income (As the income of the Josh is less as compared to the arron income) this shows the tax is bigger burden for the Josh as compared to the aaron .

If angle pqt is (3x+47)and angle sqr is (6x-25), find the measure of angle sqr
Radda [10]

Answer:

Angle sqr = 119°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given:

angle pqt is (3x+47)°

angle sqr is (6x-25)°

Angle pqt = Angle sat

We solve for x

3x + 47 = 6x - 25

Collect like terms

47 + 25 = 6x - 3x

72 = 3x

x = 72/3

x = 24

We solve for the measure of angle sqr

Angle sqr = (6x - 25)

x = 24

6 × 24 - 25

144 - 25

= 119°

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Regina can take yoga classes at community center as it would cost her less money.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of classes per week = 2

Classes in 6 weeks = 2*6 = 12 classes

Cost of classes at community center = $72

Additional one time fee = $12

Total cost at community center = 72+12 = $84

Cost per class at local gym = $8

Cost of 12 classes = 12*8 = $96

Regina can take yoga classes at community center as it would cost her less money.
