Hello!

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

❖ The sales tax rate is 5%.

In order to get 5%, you divide 1/29 ÷ 25.79. Basically, dividing the x by the y.

Answer:

5% = sales tax rate

Step-by-step explanation:

tax = original price * sales tax rate

We know the tax and the original price

1.29 = 25.79 * sales tax rate

Divide each side by 25.79

1.29/25.79 = 25.79/25.79 * sales tax rate

.0500 = sales tax rate

Change this to percent form by multiplying by 100

5% = sales tax rate

A boat sails on a bearing of 77 degrees for 135 miles and then turns and sails 207 miles on a bearing of 192 degrees. Find the d

Andrew [12]

Answer:

193.53 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,

Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees

The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees

Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.

We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.

In the diagram, this is the line AC.

Applying Law of Cosines:

$b^2=a^2+c^2-2acCosB\\b^2=207^2+135^2-2(207)(135)Cos65^\circ\\b^2=37453.8654\\b=\sqrt{37453.8654} \\b=193.53\: miles$

The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).
