Answer:

The sales tax rate of an item that costs $4 is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

An item costs $4 before tax

The same item costs $4.32 after sales tax.

So the tax rate can be calculated as:

Tax rate = $4.32 - $4 = $0.32

Next, you must divide the tax rate by the original price in order to get the sales tax rate:

Sales tax rate = $0.32/4$ = 0.08

In percentage:

Sales tax rate % = 0.08x100% = 8%

Jenny drives from Paris to Rochefort, a distance of 483 km. her average speed on the journey is 84 km/h, she leaves at 9:50. Wha
Mrrafil [7]

The correct answer is 3: 35

Explanation:

To calculate at what time Jenny will arrive in Rochefort, the first step is to calculate the approximate time of the trip. Now, to calculate this consider the time of a movement (t) equals to the distance (d) divided by the speed (s), the process is shown below:

t = 483 km / 84 km/h

t = 5.75 hours

In this number 5 refers to the hours and 0.75 represents 45 minutes considering 0.75 x 60 minutes in one hour = 45 minutes. Therefore, the total time from Paris to Rochefort is 5 hours and 45 minutes. Now, to calculate the time of arrival add this result to the time of departure.

Add the hours: 5 hours + 9 hours: 14 hours

Add the minutes: 50 minutes + 45 minutes =95 minutes

95 minutes are equivalent to 1 hour (60) minutes and 35 minutes

Calculate the total

Hours: 14 hours + 1 hour = 15 hours or 3  in the 12 hour system (15 hours - 12 hours = 3 p.m.)

Minutes: 35 minutes

The length of the diagonal of a rectangle is √181 inches. ​ ​Which statement describes the length of the diagonal?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the diagonal of a rectangle is \sqrt{181} inches.

Compute the value of \sqrt{181} inches as follows:

The number 181 is not a square of a whole number.

So, the square root of 181 must lie between two whole numbers.

Consider the following squares:

12^{2}=144

13^{2}=169

14^{2}=196

It is quite clear that the 181 lies between the square of 13 and 14.

So, it can be said that the square root of 181 is between the square of 13 and 14.

Thus, the length of the diagonal of a rectangle is between 13 and 14 inches.

The correct option is (B).
