Answer:

$223.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year the amount of taxes was x, an unknown amount. That was 100% of last year's tax cost.

This year, taxes went up by 12%, so this year the taxes are 112% of what they were last year. This year the taxes were 112% of x, and they were $250.

112% of x = 250

1.12x = 250

x = 250/1.12

x = 223.21

Answer: $223.21

Bruce wants to make 50 ml of an alcohol solution with a 12% concentration. He has a 10% alcohol solution and a 15% alcohol solut
Inessa05 [86]

The equation is 0.1x + 0.15(50-x)=1.20(50)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you need 50ml of 12% alcohol solution.

You have 10% and 15% alcohol solutions.

Take volume of 10% alcohol solution to be x ml

Take volume of 15% alcohol solution to be y ml

Form equations;

x+y=50 ml--------------------------equation 1

0.1x +0.15 y= 12% of 50

0.1x+0.15y=6-----------------------equation 2

Now you have simultaneous equations, use a graph tool to solve for values of x and y as attached.

or use the mixture equation the get value of x

0.1x + 0.15(50-x)=1.20(50)

The values of x and y are ;

(x,y) (30,20) which means;

y is 20 ml of 15% alcohol

x is 30 ml of 10% alcohol

Am I right ? Because I need help with this please thanks.
bazaltina [42]

to find the hypotenuse (or the ramp in question 4) you can use the equation

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

with a and b being the 3 feet and 9 feet and c being the unknown (ramp).

So if you plug 3 and 9 into the equation, it looks like this.

3^{2} +9^{2} =c^{2}

then square them.

9+81=c^{2}

simplify.

90=c^{2}

take the square root of both sides.

\sqrt{90} = c

\sqrt{90} is approx. 9.5 so the answer would be H.
