I'm pretty sure the answer's $1.46.

($1.46 is the amount of tax, not the total)

Start with your $22.50 subtotal (cost without tax)

Then, solve for 6.5% of $22.50

Set your equation up like so: 6.5/100=x/22.50

Cross multiply then you should have 100x=146.25

Solve to get 1.4625% (If you need it rounded, it's 1.5%)

1.5% ----> $1.46

$22.50+$1.56=$23.96

She spent $23.96

How to find an angle of a triangle with 1 angles given geometry?

Lilit [14]

"SAS" is how you find the angle in between. Use the law of cosines to calculate the unknown side, then use the law of sines to find the simuliar of the other two angles, then use three angles add to 180 degrees to find the last angle.

Prove that the value of the expression: (5^18–25^8)(16^4–2^13–4^5) is divisible by 30 and 44.

makvit [3.9K]

The value of the expression is not divisible by 30 and 44.

<u>Explanation:</u>

$(5^1^8 - 25^8) (16^4-2^1^3-4^5)\\=(5^1^8 - 5^2^\times^8) (2^4^\times^4 - 2^1^3 - 2^2^\times^5)\\=(5^1^8 - 5^1^6)(2^1^6-2^1^3-2^1^0)\\=(5^2) ( 2^3-2^1^0)\\=(25) (8-1024)\\=(25) \times (-1016)\\= -25400$

To check the number -25400 be divisible by 30 and 44, divide the number -25400 by 30 and 44

On dividing -25400 by 30 we get, -846.66

On dividing -25400 by 44 we get, -577.27

Therefore,

The value of the expression is not divisible by 30 and 44.

The number of siblings an individual has varies from student to student. The distribution of the number of siblings is strongly

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

(e) the mean number of siblings for a large number of students has a distribution that is close to Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
