C=p(1+r) what is the final Cost of a $40 item after an 8% tax is applied

1 answer:

8 0

Hello there! The cost of the item is $40, which makes up 100% of the price. There is 8% tax applied on the item. Let's add both percentages. 100 + 8 is 108. That's 108%. Let's multiply that by 40 to get the total price. 40 * 108% (1.08) is 43.2. There. The final cost of an item is $43.20.

Answer

a) C

b) B

c) C, E

d) 15.5

e) 0.7

f) 67.7

Step-by-step explanation

a) A linear equation can be written as $y=mx+c$ where $m$ is the slope and $c$ is the intercept on the $y$ -axis. The slope describes how $y$ changes when $x$ changes. A negative value means the it is a decreasing change. In our case, $y$ is $A$ and $x$ is $t$ . Thus, the slope of the equation is $m=-0.062$ . This means that the area of glacier is decreasing by $0.062 \text{km}{}^2 = 62000 \text{m}{}^2$ every year since 2000.

b) The $A$ -intercept (= 16.2 $\text{km}{}^2$ ) represents the area covered when $t=0$ . But $t=0$ starting from year 2000. This intercept then represents the area covered by glacier in the year 2000. Therefore, the area covered by glacier in 2000 was 16.2 $\text{km}{}^2$ .

c) $A=f(t)$ means the area covered after year 2000. Setting it to 12 means the area covered after $t$ years is 12 $\text{km}{}^2$ ). $t$ is therefore the number of years since 2000 that the total area covered will be 12 $\text{km}{}^2$ ).

d) $f(12)=16.2−0.062\times12 =16.2-0.744 = =15.456 15.5 \text{km}{}^2$ to 1 decimal place.

e) The term involving $t$ represents the disappearing area. In 12 years, the disappeared area is $0.062\times12=0.744 =0.7 \text{km}{}^2$ to 1 decimal place.

f) $f(t)=16.2−0.062t =12$

$0.062t = 16.2-12 = 4.2$

$t = \dfrac{4.2}{0.062}=67.7419\ldots =67.7$ years to 1 decimal place.

91. Jack can read 45 pages of his book in one and a

Digiron [165]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

45 pages per 1 hour and 30 minutes, or 60 min +30 min =90 min

90 minutes / 45 pages has to be equal to an equivalent fraction where we have 300 pages

90 minutes /45 pages = ? minutes / 300 pages , multiply both sides by 300

? minutes = 90*300/45 = 600 minutes

to read 300-page book will take 600 minutes = 10 hours

A poll asked 1057 American adults if they believe there was a conspiracy in the assassination of President Kennedy, and found th

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval of the proportion of Americans who believe in the conspiracy is $0.551< p < 0.610$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n =1057

The number that believe there was a conspiracy is k = 614

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p = \frac{614}{1057 }$

=> $\^ p = 0.5809$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{0.5809 (1- 0.5809)}{1057} }$

=> $E = 0.02975$

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\^ p -E < p < \^ p +E$

=> $0.5809 - 0.02975< p < 0.5809 + 0.02975$

=> $0.551< p < 0.610$

In the data set shown below, what is the value of the quartiles? {56, 58, 64, 68, 72, 75, 78} A. Q1 = 58; Q2 = 68; Q3 = 73.5 B.

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dataset:

There are 25 items in the dataset.

To find Q2, We divide it into two equal parts and consider the middle term

Therefore: Q2 =110

Q1 = the median of the lower half of the data set.

Q3 = is the median of the upper half of the data set.

In the lower half of the data

Since there are even number of terms,

Median = (55+56)/2=55.5

Therefore: Q1=55.5

In the upper half of the data

Since there are even number of terms,

Median = (239+351)/2=295

Therefore: Q3=295

Q1: 55.5, Q2: 110, Q3: 295

The correct option is C.
