Answer:

<u>$16.22</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

marked price        =  $18    = 100%

discount                = $?       = 15%

selling price/         =  $?      = 85%        

discounted price- this price is lower than the marked price as they have given you a DISCOUNT- an amount of money DEDUCTED.(a.k.a selling price)

selling price  =  <u>85%  x   $18</u>     =   $15.3= discounted price

                                 100%

sales tax=6%

=  <u> 6 x 15.3</u>     =  0.918 =   $0.92=sales tax

       100

total amount = discounted price + sales tax

                     =  15.3  +  0.92

                      =  <u>$16.22</u>

Answer:

Ellen will pay $16.22 for the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

We know that the book Ellen wants to buy has a normal price of $18. However, there is a 15% discount. So, let's calculate 15% of $18.

18 x 0.15 = $2.70

This lets us know that there is a $2.70 discount.

Now, let's subtract the discount from the regular price.

18 - 2.70 = $15.30

So, now we know the discounted price is $15.30

Part 2:

We also know that Ellen has to pay 6% sales tax. The discounted price is 100% of the price, plus 6% is 106%. Let's calculate the tax to figure out the total amount.

15.30 x 1.06 = $16.22 when rounded to the nearest cent.

Therefore, Ellen will pay the total amount of $16.22.

How many crores are there in 20 million​
olga55 [171]

Answer:

20 million = 2 crore

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will show you how to convert 20 million to crores (twenty million in crores). This may be useful if you for example want to convert 20 million rupees to crore rupees or 20 million dollars to crore dollars.

In some parts of the world like the United States, large numbers are separated with commas in three-digit-interval format like this:

...,BBB,MMM,TTT,HHH

BBB = billions

MMM = millions

TTT = thousands

HHH = hundreds

In certain parts of Asia, the format is a little different. From right to left, it starts out with three digits followed by a comma like the US, but after that, it is in intervals of two digits like this:

..,AA,CC,LL,TT,HHH

AA = arabs

CC = crores

LL = lakhs

TT = thousands

HHH = hundreds

Below we have displayed 20 million with the two number systems, based on the information above:

MM,TTT,HHH

20,000,000

=

C,LL,TT,HHH

2,00,00,000

When you match up 20 million with the C,LL,TT,HHH format above, you can see what 20 million is in crores. The answer to 20 million in crores is as follows:

20 million

= 2 crore

Leap years are years in which February has 29 days instead of 28. The device of leap year was invented to keep the calendar in s
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

As you know, a year has around 365 + 1/4 days.

This means that in two years, we have:

365 + 356 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 730 + 1/2

and so on.

adding this up, when we have 4 years we have a full day extra, this is:

1460 + 1

When we divide 1461 by 4, we have 365 with a surpass of 1.

The rule used to keep the calendar in sync with this extra day is adding an extra day to each fourth year.

So each fourth year, we have an extra day in Februray (the Februray 29th), this is called a bisiest year.

The "math rule" used to know if a year is leap or not is:

if a year is not divisible by 4, then it is a common year

else if the year is not divisible by 100 then it is a leap year,

else if the year is not divisible by 400, then it is a common year

if not, the year is a leap year.

Where "year" represents the number of the year.

I will give brainliest if you answer this question !!!
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

A) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with the given information. The question states that the x-int. is 4, so you should recognize that there is a point at (4,0). Plug the point into the equation.

k(4) + 2(0) + 8 = 0

Now simplify the equation.

4k + 0 + 8 = 0

Isolate the variable, make sure it's on its own side.

4k = 8

Now get the k by itself to solve the equation. Divide both sides by 4.

k = 2
