<h2>HOW TO: SOLVE AN APPLICATION</h2>
Step 1. Identify what you are asked to find and choose a variable to represent it.
Step 2. Write a sentence that gives the information to find it.
Step 3. Translate the sentence into an equation.
Step 4. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques.
Step 5. Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.
Step 6. Write a complete sentence that answers the question.
Remember that whatever the application, once we write the sentence with the given information (Step 2), we can translate it to a percent equation and then solve it.
Do you pay a tax when you shop in your city or state? In many parts of the United States, sales tax is added to the purchase price of an item. See Figure 6.7. The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price.
To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.
Answer: The sum is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a parabola, y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
We want to find the point (x, y) that corresponds to the vertex of that parabola.
The vertex of the parabola is at x value:
x = -b/2a
in this case
a = 1, b = 0, c = 3
then our vertex is at:
x = -0/2*1 = 0
Now we evaluate y(x) in this value and get:
y(0) = a*0^2 + 3 = 3
Then the vertex is at the point (0, 3)
the sum of the coordinates of the vertex is:
S = 0 + 3 = 3
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
i took the k-12 quiz and got the answer-
Algebraic Equation:
The entrance fee to enter the park is fixed and the amount of hours Leah will spend at the park is a variable.
We need to add the fixed and variable amounts.
34 + h
Because we don’t know how long Leah will spend on the raft we have to multiply h by the rate per hour for a raft.
34 + 1.50h
Therefore, Leah’s cost is 34 + 1.50h
