Answer:

D) a = - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y - 7 = 0

5y = 2x - 7

y = 2/5 x - 7

the slope of this line is therefore 2/5 (factor of x).

the perpendicular slope is then (exchange y and x and flip the sign) -5/2, which is then a and the factor of x.

Mr. Autry bought a hat for $99.90. He also bought a pair of boots for $89.90. What was the total cost of the hat and boots inclu

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$204.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add both item cost

$99.90 + 89.90 = 189.80$

Step 2: Find the sales tax of the result

$\frac{8}{100}\times 189.8 = 15.184$

Step 1: Convert 8% to fraction
$8\%= \frac{8}{100}$
Simplify
$\frac{8}{100} = \frac{2}{25}$
Step 2: Convert 189.80 to a fraction
$189.80 = \frac{189.8}{1}$
Step 3: Set it up
$\frac{2}{25}\times \frac{189.8}{1}$
Step 4: Cross divide
$189.80 \div 25 = 7.592\\2 \div 1 = 2$
Step 5: Multiply the result
$7.592 \times 2 = 15.184$

Step 3: Add the result from the total cost of both items

$189.80 + 15.184 = 204.98$

The total cost of the hats and boots including sales tax is 204.98 dollars

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert them into improper fractions: $6\frac{1}{3} =\frac{19}{3}$ and $9\frac{1}{2} =\frac{19}{2}$ . Now we add: $\frac{19}{2}+\frac{19}{3}=\frac{95}{6}$ or $15\frac{5}{6}$ .
