Answer:

Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

To increase a certain amount by a given percentage, we can first calculate the increasing amount and then add it to the original amount.

If the price of the basket of watermelons was $9 before tax, and the sales tax is 9%, we first calculate the tax amount to pay:

$9 * 9 / 100 = $0.81

Now we add it to $9 to get the total price paid by Tiffany:

Total price = $9 + $0.81 = $9.81

Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons

A skydiver is falling at approximately 28 feet per second. Find the skydiver's change in altitude

Free_Kalibri [48]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

-140 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between speed, distance, and time can be written ...

distance = speed × time

distance = (28 ft/s)(5 s) = 140 ft

In 28 seconds, the skydiver changed position by 140 feet. Since the direction is presumed to be down (falling), the change in altitude is -140 feet.

Suppose you are buying orange juice and you want to find the best deal. You find four different brands that offer various sizes

Alenkinab [10]

Answer: 3rd brand.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st brand:

6 oz cost $1.25

The amount per ounce will be:

= $1.25/6

= $0.21

2nd brand:

8 oz cost $1.33

The amount per ounce will be:

= $1.33/8

= $0.17

3rd brand:

12 oz cost $1.50

The amount per ounce will be:

= $1.50/12

= $0.125

4th brand:

16 oz cost $2.10

The amount per ounce will be:

= $2.10/16

= $0.13

From the calculation, the 3rd brand of orange juice is the better but as it's cheaper than others.
