The number in brackets represents the percentage change 
1.045
the 1 shows that it is an increase and the .045 shows the percent
for example 1.55 would be 55% increase and 1.555 would be 55.5% increase
        
             
        
        
        
According to Sturge's rule, number of classes or bins recommended to construct a frequency distribution is k ≈ 7
Sturge's Rule: There are no hard and fast guidelines for the size of a class interval or bin when building a frequency distribution table. However, Sturge's rule offers advice on how many intervals one can make if one is genuinely unable to choose a class width. Sturge's rule advises that the class interval number be for a set of n observations.
Given,
n = 66
We know that,
According to Sturge's rule, the optimal number of class intervals can be determined by using the equation:

Here, n is equal to 66 and by substituting the value to the equation we get: 

k = 7.0444
k ≈ 7

Given:
The formula for total cost is

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.
To find:
The the tax rate. 
Solution:
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,
Total cost (T) = $14.77
Price of item (p) = $14
Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get



Multiply both sides by 100.

Divide both sides by 14.


Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
   6 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is find the difference between the numbers in each factor pair and make sure the factors combine to give 48.
2 and 4 . . . . . have a difference of 2, but 2·4 ≠ 48
4 and 6 . . . . . have a difference of 2, but 4·6 ≠ 48
6 and 8 . . . . . have a difference of 2, and 6·8 = 48
24 and 2 . . . . do not have a difference of 2
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
z = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar polygons have the ratio of their corresponding sides equal to each other. There:
9/z = 6/2
Cross multiply
z*6 = 9*2
6z = 18
z = 18/6
z = 3
