The sales tax = $48.50
Let x be the sales tax rate expressed as a percent.
So x% * 776 = 48.50
x/100 * 776 = 48.50
x * 776 = 4850 (multiply both sides by 100)
x = 4850/776
x= 6.25%
So the sales tax rate expressed as a percent is 6.25%.

Answer:

Length = 12 inches, height = 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to set up a proportion. 2/7, x/42.

Then, you cross multiply and get the setup of 84=7x

Finally, you divide 84 by 7 and get 12.

12 is the length, and there is no other answer that has 12 in the height. You could just do the same proportion to get 3, though.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Hence the ground distance is about 889m between stadium and Tennis court.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A pilot at height of 125 m(flying the advertising blimp)

angle of depression=8 degrees.

To find :

The ground distance  stadium and tennis court.

Solution :

Using Trigonometric Function we can solve it ,

(Refer the attachment for fig)

Considering above data we get a triangle(ABC)

with point A represent pilot position and C court position and B as stadium.

The height AB=125 m

angle of depression= 8 degrees.

Using

<em>tan∅ =AB/BC</em>

tan(8)=125/BC

BC=125/tan(8)

=125/0.14054

=889.2

=889 m

Hence the ground distance is about 889m between stadium and Tennis court.
