Answer:

Kristi will pay $22.77 for the shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine the sales price of the shirt. If the full price is $27.99, a 25% reduction is $7. Subtract the discount from the full price to get a sales price of $20.99 for the shirt.

Next, determine the amount of tax Kristi will pay for the shirt. In her state, the sales tax is 8.5% (0.085). Multiply $20.99 by 0.085 and you will see that the sales tax is $1.78. Add the amount of the tax, $1.78, to the sales price of the shirt, $20.99, and you will get $22.77 as the cost of the shirt after the sales tax is added.

16 - 2t = 5t + 9<br><br> What number does t represent? I'm bored

seraphim [82]

Try not to be bored. You can take the attitude that you actually like math, and that you will some day actually be a MathGenius.

t represents an unknown quantity defined by the equation 16 - 2t = 5t + 9.

To find this value, do the following: Add 2t to both sides, and then subtract 9 from both sides. You'll end up with 7t = 7, which yields t = 1.

We call this the "solution" of the equation given.

What is the value of X if 9^x^-^1-2=25?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add two to both sides to get $9^{x-1}=27$

There are two ways to solve this from here

Think about what power you would have to raise 9 to to get to 27. $9^{\frac{1}{2}}$ = 3 and $3^3=27$ . So, multiplying the powers (because it is a power to a power) you get $9^{\frac{3}{2}}=27$ . This means that $x - 1 = \frac{3}{2}$ or x = $\frac{5}{2}$ .
Take the log of both sides.
