Answer:

40·(1 - 0.15)·0.06 = 2.04

or

36.04·0.06/1.06 = 2.04

Answer:

The correct answer is $2,04.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, here we have a lot of information so the most convenient thing would be to <u>analyze it little by little. </u>

We know that Janie spent a total of $ 36.04 for a shirt. That amount already has 6% included in sales taxes.

They also tell us that the shirt originally cost $ 40, with a 15% discount, which means it cost $ 6 less ----- 40 x 0.15 = 6. Therefore the new value of the shirt would be $ 34.

To that sum <u>6% of sales taxes were applied. </u>

Thus:

34 x 0.06 = 2.04.

We confirm that the final value is the same:

34 + 2.04 = 36.04

In this way we can verify that the value that Janie paid in sales tax is 2.04.

select the correct answer. Consider the function f. Which statement is true about function f? NO LINKS!! ​
andre [41]

Answer:

C) As x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The domain is NOT all real numbers as x is either smaller than or bigger than 0, and smaller than or bigger than 2.  So x ≠ 0 and x ≠ 2.
  • This implies that there are asymptotes at x=0 and x=2.
    Therefore, the function is NOT continuous.
  • The function is NOT increasing over its entire domain as
    f(x) = -x² -4x + 1 is decreasing for its given domain of 0<x<2

Answer:

5^{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say there's a number 'x' and there's an expression (x^a)^b where 'a' & 'b' are also numbers , <u>the simplified form of the expression is </u>x^{a \times b}<u>.</u>

So ,

(5^4)^3 = 5^{4 \times 3} = 5^{12}

$3.00. Boxes of SHABLAM! cereal originally cost The store has reduced the price by 25%. You have a coupon for an additional 20%
Alex777 [14]
The answer is 1.80 because

0.25 times 3.00 is 0.75 
minus 0.75 to 3.00 and it will be 2.25
0.20 times 2.25 will be 0.45
minus 0.45 to 2.25 
and u will get 1.80

In the equation x=−3y, what is the unit rate?
Paul [167]
The unit rate is -1/3.

In direct variation, y varies directly to x by a constant ratio k.

Its equation looks like this: y = kx ; where k stands for the constant ratio.

In the above equation. x = -3y, it should be converted to the proper equation. both sides must be transferred and its accompanying sign must be changed.

3y = -x
3y/3 = -x/3
y = (-1/3)x
where: y is the total value; -1/3 is the unit rate; and x is the number of units
