Answer:

The tax would be $0.95, and the total would be $18.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we know, the calculator costs $17.25 and the tax rate is 5.50%, which is the same as 0.055 times the original price. Knowing this, multiply 17.25 (69/4) by 1.055 (211/200).

69/4 * 211/200

<em>EX Step: I'll make this a single fraction for convenience.</em>

(69 * 211)/(4 * 200)

<em>Step 1a: Multiply 69 by 211 to get 14,559.</em>

14,559/(4 * 200)

<em>Step 1b: Multiply 4 by 200 to get 800.</em>

14,559/800

<em>Step 2: Divide 14,559 by 800 to get 18.19875.</em>

18.19875

<em>Step 3: Round to the nearest cent.</em>

The total cost of the calculator is $18.20.

<em>Step 4: To find the tax, subtract the total price (w/ tax) from the original price.</em>

$18.20 - $17.25

<em>Tip: You can subtract the two decimal values (.20 and .25) from each other. If the result is positive, add that to 0. If negative, subtract from 100.</em>

20 - 25 = -5 (subtract from 100)

100 - 5 = 95 (This is the decimal portion, the whole is 0.)

The tax is $0.95.

Pamela is 6 years older than jiri. The sum of their ages is 74. What is jiri’s age?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Jiri is 34 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you want to do is subtract 6 from 74, since Pamela is 6 years older than jiri and their ages summarized is 74, this spans the age difference.

Next you want to divide the answer you got earlier (68, from subtracting 6 from 74) and divide it by two since there are two people. The answer is 34, Jiri is 34 years old and Pamela is 40 years old.

A rectangular billboard image is 5 ft wide and 4 ft high. If the available billboard space is 25 ft by 15 ft, what are the dimen
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

18¾ ft × 15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the billboard are 25 ft by 15 ft.

The dimensions of the image are 5 ft by 4 ft  

Case 1.<em> Expand the length of the image to 25 ft. </em>

We have multiplied the length by five, so we must multiply the width by five.

w = 5 × 4 = 20 ft. That's too big. The image will overflow the billboard

by 5 ft.


<em>Case 2. </em><em>Expand the width of the image to 15 ft. </em>

We have multiplied the width by 15/4, so we must multiply the length by 15/4.

l = 15/4 × 5 = 75/4 = . That will fit, with 6¼ ft left over.

The expanded image will be 18¾ ft × 15 ft.

In the image below, the big rectangle represents the billboard, and the red rectangle represents the original image.

The pink rectangle represents the dilation of the original image to a width of 15 ft.

If you could help I would really appreciate it, but if not that’s fine. Thank you.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

j(2) means that x equals 2...

the first inequality in the function says that x is greater than or equal to 2

the second inequality states that x is greater than 2(not equal to) and is less than or equal to 5

the third one states that x is greater than 5

x applies to the first inequality since we know that x can be equal to 2

Now, to the number before the if

there is a 3 before the if in the first inequality

This means that if x is greater than or equal to 2 the y or the function would equal 3

therefore, j(2) would equal 3

I hope this helps!!!
