8% or 8 cents per dollar.

To find the answer, just divide the extra 32 cents charged by the 4 dollars spent to find the amount per dollar, and you should get 8, or 8% tax.

Which fraction has a terminating decimal?<br> - 11/19<br> - 4/7<br> - 1/3<br> - 3/150
babunello [35]
<h3>Answer: D) 3/150</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

With the use of a calculator, we see that,

  • 11/19 = 0.57894736842106...., the decimals eventually repeat; but unfortunately my calculator ran out of room to show the repeating portion
  • 4/7 = 0.5714285714285714..., the block "571428" repeats forever
  • 1/3 = 0.333333.... the 3s go on forever
  • 3/150 = 0.02

So 3/150 converts to the terminating decimal 0.02

The word "terminate" means "stop". In the other decimal values, the decimal digits go on forever repeating the patterns mentioned.

----------------------

A non-calculator approach will have us simplify 3/150 into 1/50 after dividing both parts by the GCF 3. Then notice how 50 has the prime factorization of 2*5*5. The fact that the denominator 50 can be factored in terms of only 2's and 5's is enough evidence to conclude that the fraction converts to a terminating decimal.

If the denominator factors into some other primes, other than 2s and 5s, then we don't have a terminating decimal. So that's why 11/19, 4/7 and 1/3 convert to non-terminating decimals.

In algebra, we often study relationships where a change to one variable causes change in another variable. Describe a situation
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

A familiar situation is: cost of books you pay for versus the quantity of books bought.

Cost of books ($) and quantity of books are directly proportionally related in the situation.

The graph will look like the graph in the attachment below.

A quantity (dependent variable) will change constantly in relation to another quantity (independent variable) if the relation is a proportional relationship.

A familiar situation for example can be the cost you pay for books will be directly proportional or dependent on the number of books you bought.

That is:

Number of books = independent variable

Cost ($) = dependent variable

A change in the number of books will cause a change in the cost you will pay for buying books.

This shows a direct proportional relationship between the two quantities.

On a straight line graph, the graph will be a proportional graph showing number of books on the x-axis against cost ($) you pay on the y-axis.

Therefore:

A familiar situation is: cost of books you pay for versus the quantity of books bought.

Cost of books ($) and quantity of books are directly proportionally related in the situation.

Jed is an electrician. Jed and his wife are accrual basis taxpayers and file a joint return. Jed wired a new house for Alison an
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$3000

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the court didn't charge any legal fee to Jed and Jed also the lawyer for this case didn't charge him anything, Jed had personally planned to get $15,000. Subtracting the amount initially paid, $10,000, Jed still needs $5,000 from Alison. Assuming a fair judgement was made, giving Jed 2,000 and subtracting this from his expectation of $5,000 we remain with $3,000. Therefore, we can conclude that the $3,000 is the loss he should record out of this deal.

Round 835.411 to the nearest tenth.
kondor19780726 [428]

The tenth position is the one that goes after the decimal point.

To round a number, you have to take into account the following:

1. If the number that goes after the position we are going to round to is greater than 5, we round to the next number in that position.

2. If the number that goes after the position we are going to round to is less than 5, we round to the same number in that position.

In this case, the number that is on the tenth's position is 4. The number that is after this position is 1, which is less than 5, then we round the number in this positon to 4.

The rounded number would be:

835.4
