What is the amount of sales tax owed on a $35 jacket if the tax rate is 6%

1 answer:

5 0

Sales tax is an additional amount of money that you pay for having purchased something. The way this is calculated is by having your 6% converted into a fraction. A percent is 1/100, so 6 percent is 6/100. You multiply the 6/100 times the price of the product that your buying; in this case, it is a jacket. The number you get is then added to the initial cost of the jacket because you need to pay for the jacket and the sales tax.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction. One plane is flying at twice the speed of the oth

olasank [31]

Answer:

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

The speed of the first plane is x.

The speed of the second plane is y.

One plane is flying at twice the speed of the other.

I will say that y = 2x. We could also say that x = 2y.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction

They fly in the same direction, so their relative speed(difference) at the end of each hour is y - x = 2x - x = x.

If after 4 hours they are 1800 km apart, find the speed of each plane

After 1 hour, they will be x km apart. After 4, 1800. So

1 hour - x km apart

4 hours - 1800 km apart

4x = 1800

x = 1800/4

x = 450

2x = 2*450 = 900

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

Answer:

you put the points into the slope formula and solve : (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

1. (4 -1) / (-2 -3)

3 / -5

2. (-1 -(-2)) / (5 - 0)

(-1 +2) / 5

1/ 5

The perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet. The length of the rectangle is 6 feet. What are the possible meas

tatuchka [14]

Answer: $14\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of rectangle is $6\ ft$

Perimeter must be greater than 40 ft

Suppose l and w be the length and width of the rectangle

$\Rightarrow \text{Perimeter P=}2(l+w)\\\Rightarrow P\geq 40\\\Rightarrow 2(l+w)\geq40\\\Rightarrow l+w\geq20\\\Rightarrow w\geq20-6\\\Rightarrow w\geq14\ ft$

So, the smallest width can be $14\ ft$
