<span>1.       </span><span>Gaetano spent 37.80 dollars including the tax for a pair of jeans
=> the tax is 8%, how much is the original cost of a pair of jeans?
=> 8% = 8/100
=> .08
Now, multiply .08 by 37.80 to get the 8% of 37.80
=> 37.80 x .08
=> 3.024 – this is the tax of a pair of jeans.
now, let’s subtract 3.024 by 37.80 to get the actual price of a pair of jeans.
=> 37.80 – 3.024
=> 34.776 – the original price of a pair of jeans without tax.

1-2+3-4+5-6+..+99-100.

-50

So you want to pair them up
(1-2)+(3-4)+(5-6)..+(99-100)
And write the answer for each pair
(-1)+(-1)+(-1)..+(-1)
When looking at this you can see that each pair equals -1
So you divide 100 by 2 and multiply that by the -1
100/2=50
50*-1=-50
Answer is 50


You would use the same method if you were going up to a number like a 500
The answer would be -250

A box is formed by cutting congruent squares from the corners. Find the maximum volume of a box made out of a 14 inch by 18 inch
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

V = x(14 - 2x)(18 - 2x)

V = (14x - 2x²)(18 - 2x)

V = (252x - 28x² - 36x² + 4x³)

V = 4x³ - 64x² + 252x

V' = 12x² - 128x + 252

0 = 3x² - 32x + 63

x = (32 ±√(32² - 4(3)(63))) / (2(3)

x = (32 ± √268) / 6

x = 8.06 inches, which we ignore as this would mean we have no material left at all in the 14 inch dimension.

or

x = 2.60488... 2.60 inches

Vmax = 0.60(14 - 2(2.60))(18 - 2(2.60)) = 292.86478... = 292.86 inches³

A consumer charges P dollars on a credit card at an annual interest rate of 26%,
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

the original amount is $1,642

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the original amount is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

So,

Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $3,024.56 ÷ (1 + 0.26 ÷ 2)^5

= $1,642

Hence, the original amount is $1,642
