Answer:

$50.91

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T represent the total cost of goods purchased.

Sale tax = 8.25% of total cost of good purchased.

Sales tax = 8.25% of T

Total cost T of goods mike purchased is;

a sweater for 49.95 = $49.95

and two pair of slacksfor 68.59 each = 2 × $68.59

and a suit for 429.99 = $429.99

T = 49.95 + 2(68.59) + 429.99

T = $617.12

And since;

Sales tax = 8.25% of T

Substituting T;

Sale tax = 8.25% of 617.12

Sales tax = 8.25/100 × $617.12

Sales tax = $50.91

sineoko [7]

Answer:

G

Step-by-step explanation:

I say G because when you look at the bar, the maximum is 100% and G is 20 in total. Therefore, the maximums are the same types and both can be divided by 10.

Question:

(a) How many bacteria would be found in 24 hours

(b) How many bacteria would be found in 2 days

(c) How long for 1000 bacteria to be found

Answer:

(a) 282429536481 bacteria

(b) $7.97*10^{22$ bacteria

(c) 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The question illustrates an exponential function

$y = ab^x$

Where

$a = Initial\ Value = 1$

$b=Rate = 3$ --- i.e. triples

$x = number\ of\ hours$

Solving (a): Bacteria in 24 hours

In this case:

$x = 24$

Substitute $x = 24$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$y = 1 * 3^{24$

$y = 1 * 282429536481$

$y = 282429536481$ bacteria

Solving (b): Bacteria in 2 days

$2\ days =48\ hours$

So:

$x = 48$

Substitute $x = 48$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$y = 1 * 3^{48$

$y =7.97*10^{22$ bacteria

Solving (c): How long for 1000 bacteria

In this case:

$y = 1000$

Substitute $y = 1000$ , $b = 3$ and $a = 1$

So:

$y = ab^x$

$1000 = 1 *3^x$

$1000 = 3^x$

Take Log of both sides

$Log1000 = Log3^x$

This gives:

$Log1000 = xLog3$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{Log1000}{Log3}$

$x \approx 6$

<em>Hence: It takes 6 days</em>
