Answer:

(a) $248.285

(b) $249.441

(c) I will prefer to buy the television from online store.

Step-by-step explanation:

The manufacturing price of a television is $170.

(a) The online retailer charges a standard makeup of 27% and an additional 15% charge for shipping and tax.

Therefore the final price will be $[170(1+\frac{27}{100})](1+\frac{15}{100} )

= $(170 × 1.27 × 1.15)

= $248.285

(b) Now, the superstore has makeup of 34% and then 9.5% charges for state tax.

So, the final price becomes $[170(1+\frac{34}{100} )](1+\frac{9.5}{100})

= $(170 × 1.34 × 1.095)

= $249.441

(c) So, I will prefer to buy the television from the online store because the final price is less and also the shipping charges are included in the final price. (Answer)

Which problem will have the greater quotient, 376.0 divided by 92 OR 376 divided by 93.01? Explain how you know logically
xxTIMURxx [149]
1. 376.0 / 92 = ?

2. 376 / 93.01 = ? 

So the question asks us which quotient will be greater. In plain English it is asking which of the two, ?, will be greater. Seeing how the question is asking for a logical answer we are not going to actually solve the problem. Instead we will use logic. 

First let's do some examples, and explain more in-depth how division works.

A. 6/3 = 2
B. 6/2 = 3

In this case, B is greater than A.

Greater than being any number that is larger than another on a scale reading from left to right, so if you were to count out all the way to the number the one that comes first is lower in value than the one that comes second.

Division works like this: Say we have a full delicious pie. We want to divide it up into 12 pieces so all our friends can have some. What we're doing is simply finding a value that if multiplied by 12 would equal our 1 pie. If you instead divided it by 24 you would have even SMALLER pieces of pie. 

A. 5/2
B. 5/3

You might not be able to answer this one, but say our pie is equal to 5. For A. imagine we take a pie and cut it in half. Now for B. imagine a pie and cut it into 3 equal sized pieces. Which one will have the bigger individual pieces? A. will!

Keep in mind that the individual size of the piece would be the quotient (the quotient just means the answer to a division problem).
 
Now to quickly dismiss the 376.0, When you add 0's to the DECIMAL you do not change the value.
If you did then, 0.0 wouldn't still be 0. Or 1.0 wouldn't still be 1. The .0 is just a place holder and signifies nothing. Don't get this confused with adding a zero to the end of a number, because that does change the value (except in the case of 0). 1 with an extra zero becomes 10, and so on. 

So let's tackle this problem!
A. 376.0 / 92
B. 376 / 93.01

In the end the .0 is meaningless so it's the same as this: 
A. 376 / 92
B. 376 / 93.01

All we are looking for is the dividend that is smaller. (A dividend being what is dividing a number. In the case of 4/2 the dividend is 2. 5/2, the dividend is 2. 6/3, the dividend is 3. So in other words the dividend is the number after the division symbol, or in this case the slash (they are the same)).

So let's see, which is smaller? 92, or 93.01.
Whichever is smaller is going to have a bigger slice of pie than the other one. So, 92. Is our answer.

Note that this reasoning worked, because the numerator (376) is the same on both division problems. If they differed we wouldn't be able to use the same logic (at least as easily as we did in this problem!).

Answer:

58 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So I attached a diagram that illustrates the triangle that is formed. We know an angle, as well as the hypotenuse. We are looking for the height, or in other words the opposite side of the angle. There is a trigonometric function defined as: sin(\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}. Using this we can plug in known values and solve for the opposite side, which I'll simply represent as x.

sin(46) = \frac{x}{80}

Multiply both sides by 80

sin(46) * 80 = x

Calculate sin(46) using a calculator (make sure it's in degree mode)

0.7193398 * 80 = x

Simplify

57.547 \approx x

Round this to the nearest foot

58 \approx x
