<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.
Hello!
To answer this question we need to find the factors of -120.
The total set (both negative and postive! ) are the following:
- 1, -120
- 2, -60
- 3, -40
- 4, -30
- 5, -24
- 6, -20
- 8, -15
- 10, -12
- 12, -10
- 15, -8
- 20, -6
- 24, -5
- 30, -4
- 40, -3
- 60, -2
- 120, -1
After looking over all of these factors, we can see that 10 · -12 is equal to not only -120, but when the multiplication sign is replace by addition, it is equal to -2!
Hope this helps.
Answer:
The second one is correct.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
All we have to do is plug in the values! 1/2(4)(10+5) will give us the area. Now we simplify!
2(15) = A
30=A
Our answer is B!
A.9×6x - ( 9×2)=
64x-18 = 0
64x=18
x=18/64 =1/3 =0.3
B. 64x+18=0
64x= -18
x =-18/64
x= -1/3
x = -0.3
