Hi there! For this, we can simply divide 20.50 by 410 to find the tax rate. 20.50/410 is 0.05. That's in decimal form. Multiply by 100 to get the percent form. 0.05 * 100 is 5. That's the number in percent form. The sales tax rate is 5%.

Solve for w. 5w + 9z = 2z + 3w w = z w = z w = –2z w = –7z

Semenov [28]

5w + 9z = 2z + 3w

Move terms with w to the left - subtract 3w from both sides

2w + 9z = 2z

Subtract 9z from both sides

2w = -7z

Divide both sides by 2

w = $\frac{-7}{2}z$

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

$9) \$1236.27\,10)\,\$6451.07\, 11)\,\$10,152.87 \,12)\,\$907.95 \,13)\,\$4957.69$

Step-by-step explanation:

9) Since Alicia Martin's savings earns 6% quarterly for two quarters then:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ ⇒ Amount (A), Principle (P), rate (r) in decimal form, number of compoundings (n) a year and t, in year or its fractions.

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=1200(1+\frac{0.06}{4})^{4*\frac{1}{2}}\Rightarrow A=\$1236.27$

10) Aubrey Daniel's case:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=5725(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4*3}\Rightarrow A\approx \$6451.07$

11) As for Angelo, similarly to Alicia.

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=9855(1+\frac{0.06}{4})^{4*\frac{1}{2}}\Rightarrow A\approx \$10,152.87$

12) Simpson's. For semiannual n=2

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=860(1+\frac{0.055}{2})^{2*1}\Rightarrow A\approx \$907.95$

13) Jana Lacey amount:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}\Rightarrow A=4860(1+\frac{0.04}{4})^{4*\frac{1}{2}}\Rightarrow A\approx \$4957.69$
