Mindy, a local artist, sells a piece of art at the pizza shop for $15, and the shop takes 15 percent commission. Instead of rece

iving money, Mindy would like a $12 pizza, including 5 percent sales tax. Is this a fair trade? Explain how to find the solution.

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.

Find a nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the points: ????=(0,0,1), ????=(−2,3,4), ????=(−2,2,0).
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane is <-9,-8,2>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given points are P=(0,0,1), Q=(−2,3,4), R=(−2,2,0).

\overrightarrow {PQ}==

\overrightarrow {PR}==

The nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the points P,Q, and R is

\overrightarrow n=\overrightarrow {PQ}\times \overrightarrow {PR}

\overrightarrow n=\det \begin{pmatrix}i&j&k\\ \:\:\:\:\:-2&3&3\\ \:\:\:\:\:-2&2&-1\end{pmatrix}

Expand along row 1.

\overrightarrow n=i\det \begin{pmatrix}3&3\\ 2&-1\end{pmatrix}-j\det \begin{pmatrix}-2&3\\ -2&-1\end{pmatrix}+k\det \begin{pmatrix}-2&3\\ -2&2\end{pmatrix}

\overrightarrow n=i(-9)-j(8)+k(2)

\overrightarrow n=-9i-8j+2k

\overrightarrow n=

Therefore, the nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane is <-9,-8,2>.

<u><em>"Convert F2 from hexadecimal to binary."</em></u>

Answer:

11110010

Step-by-step explanation:

Hex F2 to decimal explained:

The value of HEX F2 in decimal is 242.

The value of HEX F2 in binary is 11110010.

2 2 X 160 = 2

F 15 X 161 = 240

HEX F2 = 242

<em><u>The binary value is: 11110010</u></em>

A hexadecimal number has base 16 (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 A,B,C,D,E,F).

basic hex to a decimal conversion table

Hex 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

Decimal 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
