Answer:

$118.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Always convert the percentage to a decimal by moving the decimal two points to the right/dividing by 100. So 7.5 % = 0.075

110 x 0.075 = 8.25 (the amount of tax added)

110 + 8.25 = 118.25

You can also multiply 110 by 1.075, where the "1" is the $110 and the ".075" is the tax, and save the step of adding. 110 x 1.075 = 118.25

What is 36 to 21 ratio in simplest form?

OLga [1]

36:21 in simplest form is 12:7, because 3 goes into both 36 and 21. Simplifying ratios is essentially the same thing as simplifying fractions. Once we have 12:7, we can't reduce any further, because 7 is prime.

Write the inverse of the function: f (x) = 2x+3

34kurt

Answer:

$y = \frac{x - 3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function, simply 'switch' the x and y's and solve for y. $y = 2x + 3$ becomes $x = 2y + 3$ . Now, solving for y, we get $y = \frac{x - 3}{2}$ .
