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%.

Please put the explanation!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get this answer, we must know that a triangle's angles add up to exactly 180. Also, Angles that intersect will have congruent, opposite sides. The last thing is that a line is = 180 degrees. So, the triangle with the 94 and the 142, you can use that. the angle next to the 142 is going to be 180-142 which is 38 and since the other angle is opposite 94, as well. when you add those up u get 132 and 180-132= 48 which is the missing angle for the far right triangle. then, you get the opposite of that angle, put that in the other triangle, do the same with the 72, and add those up to get 120 and since a triagle adds up to 180, 180-120 = 60. So, 60 is your missing angle. Cheers

A is the point with coordinates (5,9) B is the point with coordinates (d,17) The line AB has gradient 4 Work out the value of d

yarga [219]

Answer:

d=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of straight line is given by

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plug in our knows

$4=\frac{17-9}{d-5} \text{ Solve for d} \\\\4(d-5)=8\\\\d-5=4\\d=9$

Which expression is equivalent to square root 55x^7y6/11x^11y^8

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sqrt{\dfrac{55x^7y^6}{11x^{11}y^8}}=\dfrac{\sqrt5}{x^2y}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{\dfrac{55x^7y^6}{11x^{11}y^8}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{55}{11}\cdot\dfrac{x^7}{x^{11}}\cdot\dfrac{y^6}{y^8}}\qquad\text{use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\\\\=\sqrt{5x^{7-11}y^{6-8}}=\sqrt{5x^{-4}y^{-2}}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\=\sqrt5\cdot\sqrt{x^{-4}}\cdot\sqrt{y^{-2}}=\sqrt5\cdot\sqrt{x^{(-2)(2)}}\cdot\sqrt{y^{(-1)(2)}}\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=\sqrt5\cdot\sqrt{(x^{-2})^2}\cdot\sqrt{(y^{-1})^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a$

$=\sqrt5\cdot x^{-2}\cdot y^{-1}\qquad\text{use}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\to a^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{a}\\\\=\sqrt5\cdot\dfrac{1}{x^2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{y}=\dfrac{\sqrt5}{x^2y}$
