Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf \$62.81}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sales tax, multiply the price by the tax rate.

$sales \ tax=price * tax \ rate$

The price of the TV is $750 and the tax rate is 8.375%, but we must convert it to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal place two spots to the right.

8.375/100=0.08375 or 8.3750⇒.8375⇒ 0.08375

Substitute the values into the formula.

$sales \ tax= 750*0.08375\\sales \ tax= 62.8125$

Round to the nearest cent, which is the hundredth place. The 2 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 1.

$sales \ tax = 62.81$

The sales tax on the TV is approximately $62.81.

If arc EF = 151°, find mEDF.

user100 [1]

There is a theorem that says that this angle (formed by thre points on the circumference) is half such arc called EF.

We can deduct it as well.

1) Call O the center of the circle. The central angle (EOF) = arc EF = 151°

2) Draw a chord from F to D and other chord from D to E.

You have constructed two triangles, FOD and DOE.

3) Triangle FOD has two sides equals (because both are the radius of the circcle). Then, this is an isosceles triangle and it has two angles of the same measure. Call this measure a.

4) Triangle DOE is also isosceles, for the same reason explained in the poiint 3. Call the measure of its equal angles b.

5) The sum of the angles of the two triangles is 180° + 180 ° = 360°.

This is a + a + b + b + (360 - central angle) = 360°

=> 2a + 2b = central angle
=> 2(a+b) = cantral angle
=> (a+b) = central angle / 2 = 151° / 2 =71.5°

(a+b) is the angle that you are looking for.

Then the answer is 71.5°

Kayleigh babysat for 11 hours this week that was 5 fewer than 2/3 as manyas she baby sat last week, h write an equation to repre

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

10.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hours she babysat last week subtract 5 from 11 which is 7 hours. 7 hours is equal to 2/3 of the many hours. If she babysat h hours last week then solve for h using 2/3 h = 7.

Solve the equation by multiplying each side by the reciprocal.

3/2 * 2/3h = 7*3/2

h = 21/2

h = 10.5 hours
