Answer:

A. $4.80 + $2.40 = $7.20

Step-by-step explanation:

10% is the same as 10/100 or 1/10. To find 10% of a number, move the decimal point one place to the left.

10% of $48 is $4.80

Now he needs 5% of $48 which is half of 10% of $48, so 5% of $48 is $2.40.

$4.80 + $2.40 = $7.20

Answer: A. $4.80 + $2.40 = $7.20

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct answer in the box provided. Answer in terms of a mixed number. 7(2x + 6) =
BabaBlast [244]
Hey there! :D

7(2x+6)=1

Use the distributive property. Multiply each number by each other.

7*2x= 14x  7*6= 42

14x+42=1

Subtract 42 on both sides. 

14x= -41

Divide both sides by 14. 

We know that 14 goes into -41 almost three times.

14*3= 42 (there is one left over)

-2 13/14 (we just need one more part of 14) 

That is the simplified number.

I hope this helps!

Solve 4 log12 2 + log12 x = log12 96. Choose one answer.. a. x = 88. b. x = 80. c. x = 12. d. x = 7
Allushta [10]
4log_{12} 2 + log_{12} x = log_{12} 96 \\ log _{12}  2^{4} +log _{12} x = log _{12} 96 \\ log _{12} 16x = log_{12} 96
16 x = 96
x = 96 : 16 = 6
Answer : D ) x = 6 ( x = 7 is the wrong answer )

the backyard if a new home is shaped like a trapezoid with a height of 46 ft and bases of 73 ft and 114 ft. what is the cost of
Doss [256]

Answer:

$989.23

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost will be the product of the area in square feet and the cost per square foot.

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula ...

... A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h . . . . . where b1 and b2 are the base lengths, h is the height

Filling in the given information, the area is ...

... A = (1/2)(73 ft +114 ft)(46 ft) = 4301 ft²

Since each square foot costs $0.23, this number of square feet will cost ...

... (4301 ft²)×$0.23/ft² = $989.23

The landscaper will charge $989.23 to put sod on the backyard.
