Hello!

\large\boxed{9 \%}

To find the percent tax, use the equation:

\text{ \% tax} = \frac{\text{ price after - initial price}}{\text{initial price}}

Substitute in the given values:

\text{ \% tax} = \frac{\text{ 21.80 - 20}}{\text{20}} \\\\\text{ \% tax} = \frac{1.80}{20} = 0.09

Multiply by 100 to find the percent tax:

0.09 * 100 = 9\%

The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas. A container of helium has a volume of 370in3 u
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables vary inversely, it means that an increase in one would lead to a decrease in the other and vice versa. Since the volume of a gas, V in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas, P, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression would be

V = k/P

If V = 370 in³ and P = 15psi, then

370 = k/15

k = 370 × 15 = 5550

The equation that relates the volume, V, to the pressure, P would be

V = 5550/P

if the pressure was increased to 25psi, the volume would be

V = 5550/25 = 222 in³

A movie theater has a seating capacity of 329. The theater charges $5.00 for children, $7.00 for students, and $12.00 of adults.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

170 children

74 students

85 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

C = Children; S = Students; A = Adults

For the capacity, we have:

C + S + A = 329

For the tickets sold, we have:

5C + 7S + 12A = 2388

Half as many as adults are children implies that:

A = \frac{C}{2}

Required

Solve for A, C and S

The equations to solve are:

C + S + A = 329 -- (1)

5C + 7S + 12A = 2388 -- (2)

A = \frac{C}{2} -- (3)

Make C the subject in (3)

C = 2A

Substitute C = 2A in (1) and (2)

C + S + A = 329 -- (1)

2A + S + A = 329

3A + S = 329

Make S the subject

S = 329 - 3A

5C + 7S + 12A = 2388 -- (2)

5*2A + 7S + 12A = 2388

10A + 7S + 12A = 2388

7S + 22A = 2388

Substitute S = 329 - 3A

7(329 - 3A) + 22A = 2388

2303 - 21A + 22A = 2388

2303 +A = 2388

Solve for A

A = 2388 - 2303

A = 85

Recall that: C = 2A

C = 2 * 85

C = 170

Recall that: S = 329 - 3A

S = 329 - 3 * 85

S = 329 - 255

S = 74

Hence, the result is:

C = 170

S = 74

A = 85
