Dave pays $15 and tax is $1.2 so dave spent a total of $16.20.

Mel pays $20 and tax is $1.6 so Mel spent a total of $21.60.

All you need to do is convert the percent to a decimal, so take 8 and divide by 100 and you get 0.08. then you need to  multiply the cost by the tax so 15*0.08=1.2 then you just add tax to original amount 15+1.2=16.2

A square garden plot measures 180 square feet. A second square garden plot measures 320 square feet. How many more feet of fence
REY [17]

The second garden plot will require 8√5 feet more fence than the first garden plot.

Further explanation:

In order to find the fence, we have to find the perimeter of both squares

So,

Area of Square 1: A1=180 square feet

Area of Square 2: A2=320 Square feet

Let x be the side of square 1:

Then,

A_1=x^2\\180=x^2\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{180}=\sqrt{x^2}\\x=\sqrt{2*2*3*3*5}\\x=\sqrt{2^2*3^2*5}\\x=2*3\sqrt{5}\\x=6\sqrt{5}

For second square:

Let y be the side of second square

A_2=y^2\\320=y^2\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{320}=\sqrt{y^2}\\y=\sqrt{2*2*2*2*2*2*5}\\y=\sqrt{2^2*2^2*2^2*5}\\y=2*2*2\sqrt{5}\\y=8\sqrt{5}

Perimeter of First Square:

P_1=4x\\=4(6\sqrt{5})\\=24\sqrt{5}\ feet

Perimeter of Second Square:

P_2=4y\\=4(8\sqrt{5})\\=32\sqrt{5}\ feet

The smaller perimeter will be subtracted from larger perimeter to find that how much more fence will be needed.

P_2-P_1=32\sqrt{5}-24\sqrt{5}\\=(32-24)\sqrt{5}\\=8\sqrt{5}\ feet

The second garden plot will require 8√5 feet more fence than the first garden plot.

Line AB contains points A (0, 1) and B (1, 5). The slope of line AB is A. -4 B. -1/4 C. 1/4 D. 4
il63 [147K]
Slope is rise over run so since it rose 4 and went 1 to the right the slope would be 4 because 4/1=4 P.S. The actual formula for slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1 so it would be 5-1/1-0 which again is 4/1
