Answer:

<em>The washing machine cost $600 before tax</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages </u>

The washing machine cost $651 including a tax of 8.5%.

If x was the cost of the washing machine before tax, then the tax was:

x*8.5/100 = 0.085x

It was added to the original price:

x + 0.085x = 1.085x

That is the final price, thus

1.085x=$651

Solving:

x = $651/1.085

x = $600

The washing machine cost $600 before tax

He will be making a right triangle with the legs being 24 x 45. The diagonal will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. To find the amount of fencing we need the perimeter of the triangle.
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
24^2 + 45^2 = c^2
576 + 2025 = c^2
2601 = c^2
sqrt 2601 = c
c = 51
Adding the three lengths the total fencing needed is
51+24+45=120 meters

Roy Gross is considering an investment that pays 7.6 percent, compounded annually. How much will he have to invest today so that
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: he should invest $16129 today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $P represent the initial amount that should be invested today. It means that principal,

P = $P

It would be compounded annually. This means that it would be compounded once in a year. So

n = 1

The rate at which the principal would be compounded is 7.6%. So

r = 7.6/100 = 0.076

The duration of the investment would be 6 years. So

t = 6

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years.

A = 25000

Therefore

25000 = P(1+0.076/1)^1×6

25000 = P(1.076)^6

25000 = 1.55P

P = 25000/1.55

P = $16129
