Answer: $ 0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jennifer buys school supplies for $12.16.

i.e. Total sales = $12.16

The sales tax = 7.25% = 0.0725 [We divide percent by 100 to convert it into decimal]

Then , the amount of tax for Jennifer’s purchases= (Sales tax) x (Total sales)

= (0.0725) x ($12.16)

= $0.8816≈ $ 0.88 [Round off to the nearest cent]

Hence, the amount of tax for Jennifer’s purchases is $ 0.88.

Solve the equation<br> 6.7x = 5.2x + 12.3

Anna [14]

Answer:

x = 8.2

Step-by-step explanation:

$6.7x = 5.2x + 12.3$

$6.7x - 5.2x = 12.3$

$1.5x = 12.3$

$x = 8.2 = \frac{41}{5} = 8 \frac{1}{5}$

The set of points (-3, 4), (-1, 1), (-3,-2), and (-5,1) identifies the vertices of a quadrilateral. Which is the most specific d

KIM [24]

Answer:

Option (4). Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Distance AB = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

= $\sqrt{(1-4)^2+(-5+3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-2)^2}$

= $\sqrt{13}$

Distance BC = $\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(-3+1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{9+4}$

= $\sqrt{13}$

Distance CD = $\sqrt{(-2-1)^2+(-3+1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{9+4}$

= $\sqrt{13}$

Distance AD = $\sqrt{(1+2)^2+(-5+3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{9+4}$

= $\sqrt{13}$

Slope of AB ( $m_{1}$ ) = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

= $\frac{4-1}{-3+5}$

= $\frac{3}{2}$

Slope of BC ( $m_{2}$ ) = $\frac{4-1}{-3+1}$

= $-\frac{3}{2}$

If AB and BC are perpendicular then,

$m_{1}\times m_{2}=-1$

But it's not true.

[ $m_{1}\times m_{2}=(\frac{3}{2})(-\frac{3}{2})$ = - $\frac{9}{4}$ ]

It shows that the consecutive sides of the quadrilateral are not perpendicular.

Therefore, ABCD is neither square nor a rectangle.

Slope of diagonal BD = $\frac{4+2}{-3+3}$

= Not defined (parallel to y-axis)

Slope of diagonal AC = $\frac{1-1}{-1+5}$

= 0 [parallel to x-axis]

Therefore, both the diagonals AC and BD will be perpendicular.

And the quadrilateral formed by the given points will be a rhombus.
