Kate paid $25.39 for her purchases.

Kate will receive $24.61 in change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of t-shirt = $12.95

Cost of pair of shorts = $10.95

Total = cost of t-shirt + cost of pair of shorts

Total = 12.95 + 10.95 = $23.90

Sales tax = 6.25% of total amount

Amount of sales tax = $\frac{6.25}{100}*23.90=\frac{149.375}{100}$

Amount of sales tax= $1.49

Total amount with sales tax = 23.90 + 1.49 = $25.39

Kate paid $25.39 for her purchases.

Amount paid = $50

Change received = Amount paid - Bill amount

Change received = 50 - 25.39 = $24.61

Kate will receive $24.61 in change.

The angle of elevation to the top of a water tower from point A on the ground is 19.9°. From point B, 50.0 feet closer to the to

Answer:

Answer in terms of a trigonometric function :

$h = \frac{20tan(19.9)}{0.4-tan(19.9)}$

Answer in figures

$h = 190.5 feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the sketch attached below to better understand the problem.

Let x be the distance between point B and the base of the water tower.

$tan (19.9)=\frac{h}{50+x} ---------------equation 1\\$

$tan (21.8)=\frac{h}{x}----------------equation 2$

From equation 2,

$x =\frac{h}{tan21.8}=\frac{h}{0.4}$

substituting the value of x into equation 1, we get

$tan (19.9)=\frac{h}{50+(\frac{h}{0.4} )}$

$tan 19.9=h\times \frac{0.4}{20+h}$

cross multiplying,

$20\times tan(19.9) +htan(19.9)=0.4h$

$20tan(19.9)= h(0.4-tan(19.9))$

$h= \frac{20tan (19.9)}{0.4-tan (19.9)}$

The height of the tower is $h= \frac{20tan (19.9)}{0.4-tan (19.9)}$ in terms of the trig function "Tan"

The equation can simply be evaluated to get the answer in figures since the angles are given in the question

Ok so it's a proportion so this fraction is to this fraction. the smaller rectangle has sides 4 and 12. the larger one has 8 and x. so u set it up 4/12=8/x. the 4 and 8 r both the short sides so u want those on top and 12 and x r long sides so those on bottom. since that is not an answer option u can set it up as 8/4=x/12 because u still keep the variables of the same rectangle from being multipled with each other. so answer #2 is correct
