It is a fair trade, because 85% of $15 is $12.75, and the pizza with sales tax is $12.60.

Hope this helps! :)

In this question the first thing that needs to be determined is the commission taken by the pizza shop and the amount of money that falls in the part of Mindy.
We already know that Mindy sells the piece of art for $15 and the pizza shop takes 15% commission on it.
Then
Commission taken by the pizza shop = (15/100) * 15
                                                             = 225/100
                                                             = 2.25 dollars
So the pizza shop takes a commission of $2.25 from the sales of each art piece from Mindy.
Then amount that falls in Mindy's part = (15 - 2.25) dollars
                                                             = 12.75 dollars
Now Mindy is not taking the money but taking a pizza worth rupees $12 including 5% sales tax.
Initially it looks like Mindy is making a profit of $0.75 plus the pizza worth $12. So it is a fair deal for Mindy. Now coming to the part of the pizza shop owner, we find that he also gains extra $2.25 from this deal. So it is a fair deal for both the shop keeper and Mindy.

Elenna [48]

The difference in price per passenger for a group of 16 versus a group of 10 is $26.25

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more number and variables.

From the graph:

The cost for a group of 16 friends is $2500, while for a group of 10 friends is $1300.

Cost per passenger for 16 friend = $2500 / 16 = $156.25

Cost per passenger for 10 friend = $1300 / 10 = $130

The difference in price = $156.25 - $130 = $26.25

The difference in price per passenger for a group of 16 versus a group of 10 is $26.25

A line contains the two points plotted in the coordinate plane below.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The slope would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding slope is \frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}
We can plug these numbers into the equation by doing \frac{1--5}{2-0}
1--5 is equal to 1+5, which is 6.
2-0 is equal to 2.
\frac{6}{2} is 3, which is how you get your answer.
I hope this helps! :)

multiply. (2.5×10−8)(9×10−10) express your answer in scientific notation. all of the ones with - is to the power of a. 2.25×10−1
svetlana [45]
(2.5 x 10^-8)(9 x 10^-10) = (2.5 x 9) x (10^(-8 + (-10))) = 22.5 x 10^(-8 - 10) = 2.25 x 10^1 x 10^-18 = 2.25 x 10^(1 + (-18)) = 2.25 x 10^(1 - 18) = 2.25 x 10^-17
