Answer:
a) 5%
b) 24%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) You buy a game for $40, and the sales tax is $2. What percent of the game price are you paying in sales tax?
Percentage you are paying in sales tax
= Sales tax / Sale price of the game × 100
= $2/$40 × 100
= 5%
b) Your doctor told you to eat 25 grams of fiber each day. You had 6 grams of fiber for breakfast. What percent of the 25 grams of fiber have you eaten so far?
The percent of 25 grams of fiber you have eaten so far =
6 grams/25 grams × 100
= 24%
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
perpindicular means inverse slope
y = 2x+12 the perpindicular slope would be -1/2
now do y - (1) = -1/2(x-4) -- distribute
y - 1 = -1/2x + 2
add 1 to both side to solve for x
y = -1/2x + 3
Answer:
First blank: 6a
Second blank: 2/3
Third blank: 21.6
Fourth blank: 3.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically, all you need to do is distribute the 2/3 to the stuff inside the parentheses. That means in the first blank, write 6a inside since you're multiplying 2/3 and 6a, and then in the second blank you write 2/3 since you're multiplying 2/3 and 9 together.
2/3*6a+2/3*9 = 21.6 is what you should have.
Now, just solve for a.
4a+6 = 21.6
4a=15.6
a=3.9
Answer:
p = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
42p = 414
We need to find the value of p. It can be done by dividing both sides by 42. So,
Out of the given options, option (b) i.e. 8 is the nearest option. So, the value of p = 8.
Annual cost of insurance plan is $3975. The company pays 70 percent. How much does Jack pay?
100% - 70% = 30%
How many is that in dollars?
30% out of 3975 = 30% * 3975
We need to write percentage in decimal form
Jack pays $1192.5 annualy for this insurance plan
Assuming that year has 52 weeks, price per week would be:
$1192.5 / 52 = $22.93
He is paid biweekly so he needs to pay twice this amount:
$22.93 * 2 = $45.86
His insurance cost per paycheck is $45.86.
