The sales tax on a $20 hammer is 7 percent, or $1.40. why is this tax a bigger burden for josh, who has a $15,000 income, than f
Bond [772]

Answer:

The ratio of the sales tax to Josh income is greater than the sales tax to aaron income (As the income of the Josh is less as compared to the arron income) this shows the tax is bigger burden for the Josh as compared to the aaron .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The sales tax on a $20 hammer is 7 percent, or $1.40.

As income of the  josh is 15000 and the income of the aaron is $150000 .

Now the ratio of the sales tax to the josh income .

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{1.40}{15000}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{14}{15000\times 10}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = \frac{7}{75000}

In decimal form

\frac{Sales\ tax}{Josh\ income} = 0.000093\ (Approx)

Now the ratio of the  sales tax to the aaron income .

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{1.40}{150000}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{14}{150000\times 10}

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = \frac{7}{750000}

In decimal form

\frac{Sales\ tax}{aaron\ income} = 0.0000093\ (Approx)

Thus as the ratio of the sales tax to Josh income is greater than the sales tax to aaron income (As the income of the Josh is less as compared to the arron income) this shows the tax is bigger burden for the Josh as compared to the aaron .

Find the side length of X
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

7√3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use pythagoreans theorem to solve this

Since, we know one side, and the hypotenuse, we can solve for the other side.  

Pythagoreans theorem: a²+b²=c²

Where a and b are two sides, and c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite of the right angle)

In this triangle, 7 is the side, and 14 is the hypotenuse.

I will plug in the values into pythagoreans theorem, and then simplify:

a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2} \\\\7^{2} +x^{2} =14^{2} \\\\49+x^{2} =196\\\\x^{2} =147\\\\x=\sqrt{147} \\\\x=\sqrt{49*3 }\\\\ x=\sqrt{7^{2} *3 }\\\\x=7\sqrt{3}

So x = 7√3

A wood frame costs $1.50. Use a property to write an equivalent expression for the cost of a wood frame.
podryga [215]
Let the width of the frame = x
Let the cost of a linear foot of the frame = y
Let the inside dimension of the length of the frame = a
Let the inside dimension of the width of the frame = b.

The total length of the frame = 2*a + 4x
The total width of the frame = 2b

The total amount of the frame in feet is (2a + 4x + 2b)*y = Cost
