20.90 would be the item before tax. To get the amount of tax, I multiplied 20 by 0.05 and subtracted that amount from 22

So $22 is after the 5% tax. Just enter 22 / 1.05 (which is 20.95) roundest to the nearest hundredth. Round it however you are supposed to for this question, but given that the final price is $22 (with 5% tax), you just need to divide it by 1.05 (non-tax price + 5% of it). Hope this helps!

If you round to the nearest hundredth, the answer is $20.95.

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the game of chance, the possibility of winning it is 1/3. This is one of two outcomes, winning or losing. Since there is a 1/3 chance of winning it, there leaves only one outcome, losing it. Since 1/3 is a third of a whole, that leaves 2/3 for the other possibility, losing it. We then find that winning it has the chance of 1/3 and losing it has a 2/3 chance.

Find the first four terms of the sequence given by the following. aₙ=43-3(n-1) n=1,2,3. . .

Serggg [28]

Given :-

The general term of a sequence is given by aₙ=43-3(n-1) .

To Find :-

The first four terms of the sequence.

Solution :-

The given expression is $/$

→ aₙ=43-3(n-1)

where n > 0

Finding the first term :

Substituting n = 1 , we have ,

→ T1 = 43 - 3(1-1)

→ T1 = 43 - 3*0

→ T1 = 43 - 0 = 43

Finding the second term :

Substituting n = 2 , we have,

→ T2 = 43 -3(2-1)

→ T2 = 43 -3*1

→ T2 = 43 -3 = 40

Finding the third term :

Substituting n = 3 , we have,

→ T3 = 43 -3(3-1)

→ T3 = 43 -3*2

→ T3 = 43 -6 = 37

Finding the fourth term :

→ T4 = 43 -3(4-1)

→ T4 = 43 -3*3

→ T4 = 43-9 = 34

Hence the first four terms of the sequence are 43 , 40 , 37 and 34 .

I hope this helps . Let me know if you need further clarification .

You have to move the decimal point from the end to between the 6 and 5 then count how many spaces you moved it because this will become the power on the 10.

radium-226, which has a half-life of 1620 years, is used in medicine for treatment of disease. find the value of k for radium-22

sammy [17]

There will be a 25 grams left after 3240 years.

The half-life of Radium-226 is 1620 years. If we divide 3240 by 1620 the answer is 2. So that means the amount of Radium-226 will divide in half twice.

100 / 2 = 50 / 2 = 25
