Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52

A package of aa batteries costs 3.50 plus an additional 6% tax. What is the price after tax?
Fiesta28 [93]
6% tax means 6% of $3.50

Convert 6% to decimal (move decimal 2 spots to the left): 6% ⇒ .06

Multiply 3.50 with .06 = .21 <-- That's .21 cents of 3.50

That means you have to pay an extra 21 cents. Add that to the $3.50 you had to pay.

$3.50 + $0.21 = $3.71 <-- Price after tax

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1,42 * 10 ^ -5

Step-by-step explanation:

La notación científica también se conoce como forma estándar.

Tenemos que realizar la siguiente operación y dejar el resultado en forma estándar.

Entonces;

0,00000826 * 235 × 10 ^ -7 / 0,0017 × 10 ^ -2

También;

8.26 * 10 ^ -6 * 2.35 * 10 ^ -5 / 1.7 * 10 ^ -5

= 19,411 * 10 ^ -11 / 1,7 * 10 ^ -5

= 1,42 * 10 ^ -5
