<h3>Answer: 4 dollars and 17 cents</h3><h3>This is the same as saying $4.17</h3>

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

Explanation:

15+35.50 = 50.50 dollars is the total before tax is applied.

Take 8.25% of this to get

0.0825*50.50 = 4.16625

and this rounds to 4.17, which is the amount of sales tax charged.

$4.17 = 4 dollars + 17 cents

---------

Extra info:

The grand total will be 50.50+4.17 = 54.67

Another way to get the grand total is to multiply 1.0825 by the previous subtotal (50.50) getting 50.50*1.0825 = 54.66625 and that rounds to 54.67

The multiplier 1.0825 effectively means "increase by 8.25%"

Triangle m is similar to triangle n. Triangle m has two angles with measures of 32°and 93°. Which two angles measures could be i

inysia [295]

Given that triangle m and n are similar, then the implication is the ratio of the corresponding sides are the same and the corresponding angles are equal. This implies that if the two angles of triangle m measure 32° and 93°, then the possible size for the two angles in triangle n will be 32° and 93°.

Y=-x^2+2x+10<br> y=x+2<br><br> Substitution <br> Please show your work<br> Need ASAP

erik [133]

Answer:

The solutions of the system of equations are the points

$(\frac{1-\sqrt{33}} {2},\frac{5-\sqrt{33}} {2})$

$(\frac{1+\sqrt{33}} {2},\frac{5+\sqrt{33}} {2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-x^{2} +2x+10$ ----> equation A

$y=x+2$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

$x+2=-x^{2} +2x+10$

solve for x

$-x^{2} +2x+10-x-2=0$

$-x^{2} +x+8=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-x^{2} +x+8=0$

so

$a=-1\\b=1\\c=8$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{1^{2}-4(-1)(8)}} {2(-1)}$

$x=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{33}} {-2}$

$x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{33}} {-2}$ -----> $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{33}} {2}$

$x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{33}} {-2}$ -----> $x=\frac{1+\sqrt{33}} {2}$

<em>Find the values of y</em>

For $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{33}} {2}$

$y=x+2$

$y=\frac{1-\sqrt{33}} {2}+2$ ----> $y=\frac{5-\sqrt{33}} {2}$

For $x=\frac{1+\sqrt{33}} {2}$

$y=x+2$

$y=\frac{1+\sqrt{33}} {2}+2$ ----> $y=\frac{5+\sqrt{33}} {2}$

therefore

The solutions of the system of equations are the points

$(\frac{1-\sqrt{33}} {2},\frac{5-\sqrt{33}} {2})$

$(\frac{1+\sqrt{33}} {2},\frac{5+\sqrt{33}} {2})$

A group of friends shared the cost of a printer. If John, Carl and Jason each paid $15, $25, and $112 respectively, then Carl pa

vfiekz [6]

The percent of the cost of the printer Carl paid is 16.45%

<h3>The total cost of printer</h3>

Since John, Carl and Jason each paid $15, $25, and $112 respectively, the total cost of the printer is T = $15 + $25 + $112 = $152

Since Carl paid $25, we need to find the percent of the total amount Carl paid.

<h3>Percent Carl paid</h3>

So, percent Carl paid = amount Carl paid/total cost × 100 %

Since amount Carl paid = $25 and total cost = $152,

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

percent Carl paid = amount Carl paid/total cost × 100 %

percent Carl paid = $25/$152 × 100 %

percent Carl paid = 0.1645 × 100 %

percent Carl paid = 16.45%

The percent of the cost of the printer Carl paid is 16.45%
