Answer:
$875.39
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Divide the tax rate (6.500%) by 100 to get a decimal rate of 0.06500.
2) Multiply the purchase price ($821.95) by the 0.06500 to get a sales tax amount of $53.43.
3) Add the $53.43 sales tax to the $821.95 price to get a total of $875.38.
4) Round $875.38
Answer:
Twelve dollars per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 2 1/2 and 4 1/4 together to get 6 3/4. Put it into decimal form (6.75), and divide. 81 ÷ 6.75 = 12.

Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...
- all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
- y is a factor of every exponent
The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.
__
To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.
(3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)
-5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3
14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y
y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution
______
The rules of exponents we used are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
1/a^b = a^-b
