Answer:

Approximately $14.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the groceries be represented by c, then;

cost price + VAT = c + (5% of c)

To get the value of the cost, c, that would make him spend as close to $15. Since the tax is 5% of the cost price, then the cost price would be close to $15.

Let c = $14.20, then;

So that,

c + (5% of c) = 14.20 + (5% of 14.20)

                    = 14.20 + 0.71

                    = $14.91

Thus, the greatest total cost of groceries Darla can spend in order to spend as close to $15 as possible is approximately $14.20.

Determine each of the following.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

(a) \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\}

(b) 10

(c) \{\}

(d) 0

(e) 1024

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

A = {x ∈ Z | 0 < x, x² ≤ 100}

We need to find all the elements of given set.

The given conditions are

0                ... (1)

x^2\leq 100

Taking square root on both sides.

-\sqrt{100}\leq x\leq \sqrt{100}

-10\leq x\leq 10             .... (2)

Using (1) and (2) we get

0

Since x ∈ Z,

A=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10\}

(b)

We need to find the value of  | {x ∈ Z | 0 < x, x² ≤ 100}| or |A|. It means have to find the number of elements in set A.

|A|=10

| {x ∈ Z | 0 < x, x² ≤ 100}| = 10

(c)

B = {x ∈ Z | x > 10, x² ≤ 100}

We need to find all the elements of given set.

The given conditions are

x>10                ... (3)

x^2\leq 100

It means

-10\leq x\leq 10             .... (4)

Inequality (3) and (4) have no common solution, so B is null set or empty set.

B=\{\}

(d)

We need to find the value of |{x ∈ Z | x > 10, x² ≤ 100}| or |B|. It means have to find the number of elements in set B.

|B|=0

|{x ∈ Z | x > 10, x² ≤ 100}| = 0

(e)

We need to find the value of | P(A) |. P(A) is the power set of set A.

Number of elements of a power set is

N=2^n

where, n is the number of elements of set A.

We know that the number of elements of set is 10. So the value of |P(A)| is

|P(A)|=2^{10}

|P(A)|=1024

Therefore |P(A)|=1024.

I need help on all of these
lord [1]

well #7 is a solution.

y= 9x (4,36)

9 times 4 = 36

36/9=4

so the ordered pair is a solution.

y=3x-5 (7,16)

3 times 7 -5= 16

so once again the ordered pair is a solution.


Hoped this helped.

The two triangles are similar.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar since each triangle is the same shape of right triangle but different sizes. To find x, write a proportion between two equal ratios of side lengths.

\frac{28}{20}=\frac{4x+2}{3x}

Solve by cross multiplying.

28(3x) = 20(4x+2)

84x = 80x + 40

4x = 40

x=10
