Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ticket price of jacket = $199

Final price after addition of sales tax = $208.95

Percentage sales tax on the jacket =?

Final price after addition of sales tax = price of jacket + amount of sales tax paid

208.95 = 199 + amount of sales tax paid

amount of sales tax paid = 208.95 - 199

amount of sales tax paid = $9.95

Let Percentage of sales tax = x

(x / 100) * 199 = 9.95

199x / 100 = 9.95

199x = 995

x = 5

Hence percent sales tax paid = 5%

Polynomial expressions with matching​
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The difference of 27x³ and 8y³ → [3x - 2y][9x² + 6xy + 4y²]

The difference of 27x³ and 64y³ → [3x - 4y][9x² + 12xy + 16y²]

The sum of 27x³ and 64y³ → [3x + 4y][9x² - 12xy + 16y²]

The sum of 27x³ and 8y³ → [3x + 2y][9x² - 6xy + 4y²]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first two, we use the Difference of Cubes [(a³ - b³)(a² + 2ab + b²)] first by taking the cube root of the given expression to get our first factor[s]:

\displaystyle 3x - 2y = \sqrt[3]{27x^3 - 8y^3} \\ 3x - 4y = \sqrt[3]{27x^3 - 64y^3}

Then, use the acronym of SOAP {whether the next operations symbols will be negative or positive [SAME (your cube-rooted factor has an IDENTICAL OPERATION SYMBOL as your given expression), OPPOSITE (the first sign in your second factor in the second set of parentheses will be the opposite of what the sign in your given expression, which will be a plus sign), ALWAYS POSITIVE (the last sign in your second factor in the second set of parentheses will ALWAYS stay positive NO MATTER WHAT)]} to get the second factor:

Given: 27x³ - 64y³

[3x - 4y][9x² + 12xy + 16y²]

↑ ↑ ↑

same as opposite ALWAYS POSITIVE

Given: 27x³ - 8y³

Now, for the last two, we use the Sum of Cubes [(a³ + b³)(a² - 2ab + b²)] first by taking the cube root of the given expression to get our first factor[s]:

\displaystyle 3x + 2y = \sqrt[3]{27x^3 + 8y^3} \\ 3x + 4y = \sqrt[3]{27x^3 + 64y^3}

Then, use the acronym of SOAP {whether the next operations symbols will be negative or positive [SAME (your cube-rooted factor has an IDENTICAL OPERATION SYMBOL as your given expression), OPPOSITE (the first sign in your second factor in the second set of parentheses will be the opposite of what the sign is in your given expression, which will be a minus sign), ALWAYS POSITIVE (the last sign in your second factor in the second set of parentheses will ALWAYS stay positive NO MATTER WHAT)]} to get the second factor:

Given: 27x³ + 64y³

[3x + 4y][9x² - 12xy + 16y²]

↑ ↑ ↘

same as opposite ALWAYS POSITIVE

given of given

Given: 27x³ + 8y³

[3x + 2y][9x² - 6xy + 4y²]

↑ ↑ ↘

same as opposite ALWAYS POSITIVE

I am delighted to assist you anytime!

* As you can see, when using the <em>Difference\Sum of Cubes</em>, SOAP can vary depending on how an expression is given to you. They resemble each other though.

Lucy places five cards that are labeled 1 to 6 face down on the table and mixes them up. What is the likelihood that her friend
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Within 1 to 6,

Even numbers are 2, 4, 6

While odd numbers are 1, 3, 5

Assuming cards are mixed up properly and the probabilities of drawing a card with any number from 1 to 6 is constant,

Probability of drawing even number cards = number of units of even number cards ÷ total number of units of cards from 1 to 6 aka total number of cards

= 3 / 6

= 1 / 2

Rename as a mixed number in simplest form. 15 22/20
Semenov [28]
16 1/10
Because you have 15 and then for 22/20 it is a improper fraction so take 20 away from it to get 2/10 then add 1 to 15 for 16 and then simplify 2/20 to 1/10
