Amount of purchase that Steve made = $40
Percentage of tax that Steve needs to pay = 10%
Then
Amount of tax that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (10/100) * 40
= 1 * 4 dollars
= 4 dollars
Then
The total amount including tax
that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (40 + 4) dollars
= 44 dollars
So the dollar amount of tax that Steve had to pay is $4 and
the total amount that Steve had to pay was $44.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given expressions are:
A)
Solving this, we get
⇒
B)
Now, solving this, we get
⇒
C)
Simplifying this, we get
⇒
Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60
Answer:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
When factoring a binomial (a polynomial with two terms), what we will be looking for are the terms that are shared between them.
In this problem, it can be seen that both of these terms have and x. This means that we can factor it out to get
b)
What are the common terms here?
It can be seen that each of these share a 2x, so our factored form would be
c)
What about this one?
The common factor of this one is 5x, so our factored form would be
d)
The common factor of this one is , so our factored form would be
2.08 x 2.4= 4.992
