Answer:

let's say the item bought costs £20

sales tax first

20/100 X 7.5 = 1.50. 20 + 1.50 = 21.50

21.50/100 X 20 = 4.30

21.50 - 4.30 = £17.20

discount first

20/100 X 20 = 4

20 - 4 = 16

16/100 X 7.5 = 1.20

16 + 1.20 = £17.20

it wouldn't matter

No. Since there will be more of a fine, there will be more tax to take away. If the discount is taken first, then there will be less money to calculate the tax from. So tax before the discount would be worse, because it would cost more

Triangle ABC has side lengths:
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The length of HJ is 3.5 cm

<h3>What is Congruency?</h3>

Two geometric figures are said to be congruent, or to be in the relation of congruence, if it is possible to superpose one of them on the other so that they coincide throughout.

Given:

AB = 3.5 cm, BC = 2.4 cm, and AC = 4.2 cm

As, ΔABC ≅ ΔHJK

So,

AB = HJ

BC = JK

AC = HK

Thus, HJ= AB = 3.5 cm

Knight and Haslam (2010) found that office workers who had some input into the design of their office space were more productive
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

1. Option A

2. Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The independent variable is the one which affects the other variable. Here two variables "design of office space" and "control by managers" control the  Productivity and well-being of the workers.

Hence, the independent variable is Control of the office manager

Option A

2. The dependent variable is the one which gets affected by the independent variable and in this case it is the Productivity and well-being of the workers.

Option A

<h3>Answer:   -a > -b</h3>

Explanation:

Let's go over an example.

We'll have a = 1 and b = 7 which makes a < b true. Feel free to pick your own favorite pair of numbers such that b is larger than 'a'.

The corresponding opposites are:  -a = -1 and -b = -7

The relationship flips because the opposites of each number are flipped. So instead of saying -a < -b, we have -a > -b

Sure enough, -1 > -7 is a true statement. Use a number line to see this. I recommend a vertical number line.

In short, going from a < b to -a > -b means we flip the signs of each term, and we flip the inequality sign as well.

8x+x^2-2y-64+y^2=0 standard form with explanation
xz_007 [3.2K]
X² + 8x +y² - 2y -64 =0
We see that the equation has x² and y² . Also we see that coefficients in front of x² and y² are equal. So this is an equation of the circle.
(x² + 8x) +(y² - 2y) -64 =0
(x² + 8x) +(y² - 2y) = 64
We need to complete square for x and y groups, that means it should be written in form (a+b)² or (a-b)².
Expressions in parenthesis we will write as a²+/-2ab+b², to write it after as (a+/-b)², because  a²+/-2ab+b² = (a+/-b)²

(x² + 2*4x) +(y² - 2*1y) = 64
(x² + 2*4x+4²) +(y² - 2*1y+1²) = 64+4²+1²
(x+4)² + (y-1)²= 81 Sometimes this is called a standard form of the circle.
(x+4)² + (y-1)²= 9² Sometimes it is required to write like this.

And if you are studying circles,ellipses  and hyperbolas, the standard form should look like
\frac{(x+4)^{2}}{9^{2}} + \frac{(y-1)^{2}}{9^{2}} =1

A 10 sided die is numbered 1-10 if you roll it 60 times what is the best prediction for how many times you would eithrr a 1 or 2
Kamila [148]

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

So if its 1-10, and you can either roll a 1 or 2, it would be 2/10, then simplified to 1/5, and in order to get the answer you need to multiply it by 60

1/5 x 60/1 = 12

(sorry if I got it wrong, feel free to correct me if I did)
