First you need to turn 9.5% into a decimal so you need to move the dot " . " over to the left two times 9.5 ---> .95 ---> .095
Now that you turned the % into a decimal all thats left to do is multiply .095 by $97.95
$97.95 * .095= $9.30525 or $9.31
So the tax is $91.31

Answer:

$9.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an amount of $97.95, if tax of 9.5% is charged, the amount of tax charged is expressed as 9.5% of $97.95, i.e;

9.5% × $97.95

= 9.5/100 × $97.95

= 0.095× $97.95

= $9.30

This shows that a tax of $9.30 was charged on $97.95

How can I find the exact distance between the points(√7,-√2)and (4√7,5√2)

chubhunter [2.5K]

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ \sqrt{7}}}\quad ,&{{ -\sqrt{2}}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{4\sqrt{7}}}\quad ,&{{ 5\sqrt{2}}})
\end{array}~~~
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
$

$\bf d=\sqrt{[4\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7}]^2~+~[5\sqrt{2}-(-\sqrt{2})]^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(4\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7})^2~+~(5\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2})^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3\sqrt{7})^2~+~(6\sqrt{2})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 7~~+~~6^2\cdot 2}\implies d=\sqrt{63+72}\implies d=\sqrt{135}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
135=5\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\
\qquad 5\cdot 3^2\cdot 3\\
\qquad 15\cdot 3^2
\end{cases}\implies d=\sqrt{15\cdot 3^2}\implies d=3\sqrt{15}$
