Answer:

The tax Jenna and Richie pay on the gifts is <u>$3.85</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of scarf = $12.45.

Cost of necklace = $35.65.

State tax charges sale tax = 8%.

Now, to find the sales tax paid on the gifts.

So, adding the price of the gifts:

12.45+35.65=48.10

Thus, the total amount of the gifts = $48.10.

Now, getting the sales tax the state charges:

8\%\ of\ 48.10

=\frac{8}{100}\times 48.10

=0.08\times 48.10

=3.848

<em><u>The tax nearest to cent = $3.85</u></em>

Therefore, the tax Jenna and Richie pay on the gifts is $3.85.

Help find perimeter and area
klio [65]

Answer: perimeter = 96mm, Area = 564mm².

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, it is a trapezium, it has a rectangle joined together by a right angled triangle. Now to find the perimeter, we add all the dimensions together. To get the other side of the rectangle, which is also the perpendicular height of the figure, we take the Pythagoras. Let the perpendicular height = x

Therefore,

25² = ײ + 7²

625 = x² + 49

x² = 625 - 49

x² = 576

x. = √576

= 24.

Now the perimeter

= 20 + 25 + 7 + 20 + 24

= 96mm.

Area of the figure will be

= 1/2( a + b )h

Where a = 20, b = 20 + 7 = 27 and h = 24, now substitute for the values

( 20 + 27) x 24

---------------------

2

= 47 x 24/2

= 47 x 12

= 564mm²

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor<br><br> 9-12x+6y
Amiraneli [1.4K]
If you decompose 9 you will get 3*3 so 9=3*3
If you decompose 12 you will get 2*6,then you can decompose 6 which 2*3 so 12=2*2*3
If you decompose 6 you will get 2*3 so 6=2*3
What do all of these numbers have in common?The 3.
So 3 is the greatest common factor.Now you just put the 3 in front and then open the bracket and divide each of the number by 3.
9/3=3
-12x/3=4x
6y/3=2y
So,this will be your answer 3(3-4x+2y)

The solution set of the equation Ix-1I=3 is
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

x = - 2 or x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the expression inside the absolute value can be positive or negative

Removing the bars and solve x - 1 = ± 3

x - 1 = - 3 or x - 1 = 3

x - 1 = - 3 ( add 1 to both sides ) ⇒ x = - 2

x - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides ) ⇒ x = 4
