A new phone costs $230 and the sales tax rate is 7%. What is the total cost of the camera after tax?

That's a question about percentage.

One way to represent percentage is using decimal number. In this way, 1 is equivalent to 100% and the other less percentages using numbers between 0 and 1.

Examples:

90% is equivalent to 0,90.
5% is equivalent to 0.05. It's not 0.5 because 0.5 is equivalent to 50%.
13.17% is equivalent to 0.1317.
245% is equivalent to 2.45.

If we want to know the percentage of a number, we should multiplacate the number by the porcentage in the decimal number form.

Examples:

55.90% of 200 is equal to: $200 \times 0.5590 = 111.8$

360% of 88 is equal to: $88\times 3.6 = 316.8$

In our problem, we have a phone with a increase of 7%. To solve that, it's important to perceive that $230 is equal to 100% and with a increase of 7%, we will pay 107%.

107% in the decimal number form is 1.07. With that information, we should multiplicate 1.07 by the original value and we will find the answer.

We know that $230\times 1.07 = 246.1$ , therefore, the total cost of the phone after tax is $246.1.

I hope I've helped. :D

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two villages = d

$(a) \: \frac{4}{5} \: of \: d = \frac{4}{5} d \\ \\ (b) \: \frac{3}{4} \: of \: d = \frac{3}{4} d \\ \\ (c) \: \frac{4}{5} d - \frac{3}{4} d = 1.5 \\ \\ \therefore \: \bigg(\frac{4}{5} - \frac{3}{4} \bigg) d = 1.5 \\ \\ \therefore \: \bigg(\frac{4 \times 4 - 3 \times 5}{5 \times 4} \bigg) d = 1.5 \\ \\ \therefore \: \bigg(\frac{16- 15}{20} \bigg) d = 1.5 \\ \\ \therefore \: \bigg(\frac{1}{20} \bigg) d = 1.5 \\ \\ \therefore \: d = 1.5 \times 20 \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \huge \orange{ \boxed{{ \therefore \: d = 30}}}$

Solve the equation for y (Y-3)^2=4y-12

Jet001 [13]

(Y-3)^2 = 4y -12 <=> Y^2 - 6Y + 9 = 4y - 12 <=> 4y = Y^2 - 6Y + 21 <=> y = (Y^2 - 6Y + 21)/4. Solving the equation for y means that we have to express y relative to the other quantities in the equation.
