Answer:

$700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 5%.

Amanda paid $35 in sales tax on a new stereo.

We need to find the price of the stereo. Let it is x. Using the formula for percentage as follows :

$\%=\dfrac{\text{sales tax}}{\text{total}}\times 100\\\\5\%=\dfrac{35}{x}\times 100\%\\\\x=\dfrac{35\times 100\%}{5\%}\\\\=\$700$

So, the price of the stereo is $700. Hence, the correct option is(c).

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached,

An obtuse angle triangle ABC has been given.

By applying Sine rule in the triangle,

$\frac{\text{SinB}}{b}=\frac{\text{SinA}}{a}=\frac{\text{SinC}}{c}$

Since, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

45° + 110° + m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 180°- 155° = 25°

$\frac{\text{Sin110}}{b}=\frac{\text{Sin45}}{a}=\frac{\text{Sin25}}{7}$

$\frac{\text{Sin110}}{b}=\frac{\text{Sin45}}{a}=0.060374$

$\frac{\text{Sin110}}{b}=0.060374$

b = $\frac{\text{Sin110}}{0.060374}$

b = 15.56

b ≈ 15.56

$\frac{\text{Sin45}}{a}=0.060374$

a = $\frac{\text{Sin45}}{0.060374}$

a = 11.712

a = 11.71

Therefore, Option (D) will be the answer.

Answer:

y=2/3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

we can see that x goes up 1 for every 1.5y and if we start y at 0 x starts at -4 so if y is one than x has to be 2/3-4 becuase it is -4 + 2/3 for every 1 y goes up or one for every 1.5 y goes up. hope this answer was helpful.

What is the answer to<br><br>6 1/4-3 5/8

german

Answer:

9 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

solution by separating parts:

1) rewrite equation with parts separated

= 6 +1/4 + 3 + 5/8

2) solve whole number parts

6 + 3 = 9

3) solve fraction parts

1/4 + 5/8 = ?

- find the LCD of 1/4 and 5/8 and rewrite to solve

LCD = 8

2/8 + 5/8 = 7/8

combining the whole and fraction parts:

9 + 7/8 = 9 7/8

What is the equation of the line which includes points (-3, 2) and (1, 6)?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

required equation of line is y=x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of line passing through points $(x_1,y_1)$ and ${ x_2,y_2)$

$y-y_1$ = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ \times{x-x_1}

put the co-ordinate (-3,2) and(1,6)

y-2= $\frac{6-2}{1+3}$ \times{x+3}

y-2=x+3

y=x+5 answer
