Sales Tax rate: 6.75%
Total price of item including tax: $14.93Original price of item: ?
Let x be the original price
x+0.0675x = 14.93  -- we change the percent to decimal

1.0675x = 14.93  -- simplify 
1.0675x/ 1.0675 = 14.93/1.0675  --isolate x
x = 14.93/1.0675  --divide
x = 13.98595  
Then rounded to two decimal points, the answer would be $13.99.

15. Apply Mathematics (1)(A) Suppose you have a box with a 4 X 4-in.
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for calculating the surface area of the box S = 2(LW+LH+WH) where

L is the length of the box

W is the width of the box

H is the height of the box

If the box is square based with dimension 4 * 4in, then L = W = 4in. substituting this values given into the formula we will have;

S = 2(4(4)+4H + 4H)

S = 2(16+8H)

S = 32+16H

<em>Hence, The function that represents the surface area of this box as a </em>

<em>function of its height is S = 32+16H where H is the height of the box</em>

<em></em>

Given H = 6.5in, to evaluate the function, we will substitute h = 6.5in into the modeled equation;

S = 32+16H

S = 32+16(6.5)

S = 32+106

<em>S = 138in²</em>

<em>Hence the total surface area of the box is 138in²</em>

Multiply (2x + 2y)(2x + 2y)
Maslowich

Answer:

4x² + 4y² + 8xy

Step-by-step explanation:

( 2x + 2y ) ( 2x + 2y ) = ( 2x + 2y )²

Formula : -

( a + b )² = a² + b² + 2ab

Here,

a = 2x

b = 2y

( 2x + 2y )²

= ( 2x )² + ( 2y )² + 2 ( 2x ) ( 2y )

= 2²x² + 2²y² + 8xy

= 4x² + 4y² + 8xy

Please help, trigonometry is hard for me
Vsevolod [243]

Because the cos theta < 0 then theta must be an obtuse angle

so a^2 + b^2 < a^2
