To round to the nearest tenth place you are going to round the last two digits of that, you should get 519.7
Let's take a look at a perfect square trinomial.
We can distribute this expression to get
.
An important relation to recognize here is that the constant is the square of half of the x value.
Now, if we wanted to add a number to
to make a perfect square trinomial, we could have the value of x and then square it.
Half of 16 is 8, and 8 squared is
112= 7x + 7(-4x-17)
multiply the 7 by everything in parentheses
112=7x+(7*-4x)+(7*-17)
Positive multiplied by a negative is negative
112=7x-28x-119
combine like terms
112= -21x-119
add 119 to both sides
231= -21x
divide both sides by -21
-11= x
Check:
Substitute answer in equation
112= 7x + 7(-4x-17)
112= 7(-11)+7[(-4)(-11)-17]
112= -77 + 7(44-17)
112= -77 + 7(27)
112= -77 + 189
112=112
Hope this helps! :) Good luck with math!!
Beth purchased $21.25 worth of groceries. The sales tax rate is 7.5%. What was her total bill?
The tax is calculated by 0.075 * 21.25 = 1.59375 or $1.59. So the total bill is the cost of items purchased plus tax, which is $21.25 + $1.59 = $22.84.
Back to your question:
What is the total cost of a sweatshirt if the regular price is $45 and the sales tax 5.75%
The tax is calculated by 0.0575 * 45 = 2.5875 or $2.59. So the total bill is the cost of items purchased plus tax, which is $45 + $2.59 = $47.59
Hope this helped! Good luck!
