Answer:

$8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price before tax be $x

given that the sales tax rate is 4%, hence the amount she paid in taxes

= 4% of x

= (4/100)x

= 0.04x

We can now build an equation for what she paid:

Amount Paid = price before tax + amount paid in taxes

8.84 = x + 0.04x

8.84 = 1.04x   (divide both sides by 1.04 and rearranging)

x = 8.84 / 1.04

x = $8.50

A dartboard consists of two concentric circles. The probability of hitting the inner circle is
stepan [7]
Given:
Diameter of outer circle = 20 inches.

We need to find the Area of the outer circle to get the radius of the inner circle.

Area = πr²

Outer circle Area = 3.14 * (10in)² = 314 in²

314 in² * 64% probability = 200.96 in² Area of the inner circle.

200.96 in² = 3.14 * r²
200.96 in² / 3.14 = r²
64 in² = r²
√64 in² = √r²
8 in = r

radius of inner circle is 8 inches.

The average speed of a car during 5 hours is 50 miles per hour. What is the total distance traveled by the car?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

250 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the time (t) equals 5 hours and that the rate (r) equals 50 mph. So knowing that, we can use the formula t*r=distance. We plug in the numbers and we get 250 miles.

Another way to think about this is, since we go 5 hours and 50 miles per hour, every hour we go 50 miles and we do that for 5 hours, so we go 50, 100, 150, 200, 250.
