Answer:

14¢

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to multiply 2.79 by 5%.

First, lets change 5% into a decimal as shown below:

5% -> $\frac{5}{100}$ -> 0.05

Now, lets multiply 2.79 by 0.05:

$x=2.79(0.05)$

$x=.1395$

The last step is to round our number. 0.1395 rounded to the nearest hundredth gives us .14 (14¢)

<u>The sales tax being charged is 14¢</u>

If x + 3y = 7 and x - 3y =7 , then find y<br><br> Please help me

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$x + 3y = 7 , x - 3y = 7 : y = , x = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x + 3y = 7\\x - 3y = 7\end{array}\right]$

Isolate $x$ for $x + 3y = 7 : x = 7 - 3y$ :

Substitute $x = 7 - 3y$ :

$\begin{bmatrix}7-3y-3y=7\end{bmatrix}$

Isolate $y$ for $7 - 3y - 3y = 7 : y = 0$ :

For $x$ $=7-3y$

Substitute $y = 0$

$x=7-3 * 0$

$7 - 3 * 0 = 7$

$x = 7$

The solution to the system of equations are:

$y=0,\:x=7$

Hope I helped. If so, may I get brainliest and a thanks?

Thank you. Have a good day! =)

What is Szymborska's overall opinion of humanity in "A Contribution to Statistics?" Support your response with at least two deta

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Szymborska's overall opinion of humanity in "A Contribution to Statistics" is overall positive

Step-by-step explanation:

Szymborska is a poet who likes to comment on society with irony and sarcasm.One example of this is when she splits people into categories in her poem “A Contribution to Statistics”. Here Szymborska’s overall opinion of humanity may seem negative due to her bluntness and dry humor. For example, she says in the tenth stanza, “cruel when forced by circumstances -better not to know even ballpark figures.” It’s implied in this line that most people (maybe even all)are cruel or can be. She also says, “taking only things from life -thirty”which comments how lots of people are selfish. However, this seemingly cynical poem takes a sweeter turn near the end with statistics like, “worthy of compassion - ninety-nine” and “mortal- a hundred out of a hundred.” These lines reveal that even though Szymborska believes that humanity is extremely flawed the mass majority of us deserve and are worthy of love. Plus the fact that we’re all mortal may seem dark but the fact remains that both the righteous and the sinners will all end up in the same place. The fact that no one can escape

death gives humans equality in a way. Szymborska’s overall opinion of humanity turned out to be more optimistic after all.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3 × 5 + 3 × 7 + 6 × 7 = 78 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Measures of Chad's window is 36 inches by 60 inches = 3 feet by 5 feet.

Area of the window is 15 square feet.

Measures of Chad's door is 36 inches by 84 inches = 3 feet by 7 feet.

Area of the door is 21 square feet.

Measures of Chad's closet is 72 inches by 84 inches = 6 feet by 7 feet.

Area of the closet is 42 square feet.

Equation to show the total area of window, door and closet is 15 + 21 + 42 = 78 square feet.
