You wouls do 125 times 135% and that would be 168.75 then you would do 125 add 168.75 which would equal 293.75 then you would do 293.75 times 7.5% which equals 22.03 then you would do 22.03 add 293.75 and the answer would be 315.78

Answer with explanation:

Price paid by Jeweler to jewelry maker for a ring=$125

Price that Jeweler wants for the ring

          =125+125*\frac{135}{100}\\\\=125+168.75\\\\=293.75$

Sales tax =7.5%

Price of ring if 7.5 % sales tax is included in 135% marked price

      =293.75 -293.75 *\frac{7.5}{100}\\\\=293.75-22.03125\\\\=271.71875\\\\=271.72$

Price of ring if 7.5 % sales tax is not included in 135% marked price

      =293.75 +293.75 *\frac{7.5}{100}\\\\=293.75+22.03125\\\\=315.78125\\\\=315.78$

Mateo is constructing an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle with center P. He draws the diameter of the circle through c
GenaCL600 [577]
Reading the question carefully, "<span>He draws the diameter of the circle through center P using a straight edge. Next he opens his compass to a width equivalent to the radius of the circle." - that implies that Mateo is still in the process of drawing the circle by which the equilateral is inscribed to.

The next steps should be:
*He should draw the upper and lower arcs using the compass opened to a width equivalent to the radius of the sircle.
*Make a vertical diameter using centroid P as basis.
*Draw two right triangles facing the opposite directions using the top most point by which the vertical diameter of the circle touches the top most circumference of the circle.

Doing these steps, Mateo will be able to draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

When multiplying and dividing two numbers in scientific notation, why do u sometimes have to rewrite one factor ?
zalisa [80]

You sometimes need to rewrite a factor because the lead number is not between 1 and 10 as it needs to be in scientific notation. For instance, if we had lead numbers of 2 and 5, as we do in the following problem.

2x10^3 * 5x10^9

Then we get the answer of 10x10^12. We need to adjust this by moving the decimal place and increasing the exponent by 1. The correct answer would be 1x10^13 instead.
