An item that cost a total of $25.60 would have a sales tax of $1.28.

$25.60 / 20 = $1.28
$25.60 x 0.05 = $1.28

40 liters.....30% is yellow tint
0.30(40) = 12 liters are yellow

if u add 6 liters....(12 + 6) = 18 liters are now yellow...and since u added 6 liters, ur total mixture is now 46 liters.
18/46 = 0.39 = 39% <===

Please write an equation
Katen [24]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4} x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{5-2}{4-0} = \frac{3}{4}

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2 ) ⇒ c = 2

y = \frac{3}{4} x + 2 ← equation of line

She is incorrect. It doesn’t matter what sides you label a or b but c matters. The longest side (the hypotenuse) is always c.

A movie theater complex gave a poll as viewers exited from two theaters showing the same film. They had a 20% response rate from
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Let´s define the variables:

x = number of people in theater A

y = number of people in theater B

We know that a 20% (or 0.2 in decimal form) of the people in theater A answered the survey, then the number of people from theater A that answered the survey is: Na = 0.2*x

We know that a 30% (or 0.3 in decimal form) of the people in theater B answered the survey, then the number of people from theater B that answered the survey is: Nb = 0.3*y

There where 800 people in total (counting from the two theatres)

Then x + y = 800.

A) In this case we have:

Na = Nb

this means that:

0.2*x = 0.3*y

and we also have the equation:

x  + y = 800

To solve this, we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation:

x = 800 - y

And now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

0.2*(800 - y) = 0.3*y

We need to solve this for y:

160 - 0.2*y = 0.3*y

160 = 0.3*y + 0.2*y = 0.5*y

160/0.5 = y = 320

Then there where 320 people in theater B, and:

x + y = 800

x + 320 = 800

x = 800 - 320 = 480

There where 480 people in theather A.

B) Now we have:

x = 440

y = 360

then:

Na = 0.2*440 = 88

In theater A, 88 people answered the survey.

Nb = 0.3*360 = 108

In theater B, 108 people answered the survey.

In total, 88 + 108 = 196 people answered the survey.
