Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the difference.

64.19 - 59.99 = 4.20

Divide the difference by the cost of the item originally:

4.20 / 59.99 = about .07

Change this number to a percentage by moving the decimal to the right two spaces, so that would be 7%.

The sales tax in the area is 7%.

Subtract 59.99 from 64.19.

64.19 - 59.99 = 4.20

The tax she paid was $4.20, so now we need to find the percentage.

Divide 4.20 by 59.99.

4.20 ÷ 59.99 = 0.07

Multiply 0.07 by 100 to find the percentage.

0.07 × 100 = 7

The sales tax in the area was 7%.

Solve x^2-6x+25 = 0 by completing the square.

Oksana_A [137]

First, subtract both sides by 25:

x^2 - 6x = -25

Because we're completing the square, we subtract both sides by 9:

x^2 - 6x - 9 = -34

(x - 3) = 5.831 (about)

x = 8.831

The areas of the figures are 4(x + 1), 7(d + 4) and y(y + 3)

<h3>How to determine the total areas?</h3>

The figure 1

In this figure, we have

Length = x + 1

Width = 4

The area is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

So, we have

Area = 4(x + 1)

The figure 2

In this figure, we have

Length = d + 4

Width = 7

The area is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

So, we have

Area = 7(d + 4)

The figure 3

In this figure, we have

Length = y + 3

Width = y

The area is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

So, we have

Area = y(y + 3)

Hence, the areas of the figures are 4(x + 1), 7(d + 4) and y(y + 3)
