Answer:

$48.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a good is the base cost plus tax. We are given the cost of the skirt, so all we need is the amount of tax. To find it, we multiple the cost of the  skirt by the tax rate:

45.99 * 0.058 = 2.67

We now add the tax to the cost of the skirt:

45.99 + 2.67 = 48.66

As you can see, we are adding the price of the skirt to 5.8% of the skirt's price, so we can also solve the problem by simply multiplying the cost by 1.058 as shown below:

45.99 * 1.058 = 48.66

3x+3=3y ⇒ 3y-3x=3 ⇒3(y-x)=3 ⇒ y-x=1
2x-6y=2 ⇒ 2(x-3y)=2 ⇒ x-3y=1

We must to collect two equations.
x's is lost;
y-3y=2
-2y=2
y=-1   ; x-3.(-1)=1  
⇒ x=-2

Answer is (-2,-1)

Jim and bill each invest $15,000 into savings accounts that earn 3.5% interest. Jims account earns simple interests and bills ac
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Bill will earn more interest

He will earn $ 20,448.67 from his investment

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly let us calculate Jim's earnings based on simple interest

A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r

a decimal

r = R/100 = 3.5%/100 = 0.035 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 15000(1 + (0.035 × 25)) = 28125

A = $28,125.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $15,000.00 at a rate of 3.5% per year for 25 years is $28,125.00 for Jim

Now let's us calculate bill's investment based on compound interest

Equation

A = P(1 + r)^t

A=15000(1+0.035)^25

A=15000(1.035)^25

A=15000*2.36324498427

A = $ 35,448.67

We see that Bill will earn

$ 20,448.67 from his investment

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Your question is missing the figure, so the figure for your question is attached below:

Answer:

shade 2 strips out of 4 to get fraction strip equivalent to Mandy's fraction strip

Step-by-step explanation:

As Mandy shaded the 3 trips out of the total six strips. It shows the fraction of  \frac{3}{6}

and \frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

To shade the given fraction strip so that it represents a fraction that is equivalent to Mandy's fraction strip, we should shade 2 stripes out of 4 that is equivalent to \frac{1}{2}

i.e. \frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

My Fraction Strip is equivalent to Mandy's Fraction Strip because both are equal to \frac{1}{2}
