Answer: Expression 1)  Neither of these.

Expression 2) Find the dollar amount of the tax,then added it to the price before tax.

Expression 3) Neither of these.

Expression 4) find the percentage of the original price Jack has to pay,then convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply to the final price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the diamond pony be $P.......(1)

Diamond pony tax percentage =25%

Diamond pony tax amount= 25% of P......(2)

=0.25 of P=$0.25 P............(3)

Case 1) If we add tax amount to the Price of diamond pony then it gives

 P+0.25P......(by adding (1) and (3))

=P(1+0.25)........(by taking P as common outside )

=P(1.25)=1.25P......> which is the original price which jack has to pay.

Case 2) Now if we add (1) and (2),we get

P+25%of P=100%P+25%P......(as it doesn't make any difference∵100% of P =P)

=(100+25)%P(by taking P as common outside )

=125%P=1.25P......> which is the original price which jack has to pay.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

c) it appears to be sound because the data are not biased in anyway.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given regarding the sample selection method , the size, the larger sample from which the survey subject were selected, we can conclude that the data is sound and not in anyway biased. The subject were selected from a reputable market research firm, which means the subjects were chosen from a larger sample which is reliable and not just a voluntary pool of subjects. Also, the selection process is randomized. Based on these, there are no flaws which are likely to cause the introduction of bias into the sample selected.

Tennis balls with a diameter of 2.5 in.are sold in cans of three. The can is a cylinder. What is the volume of the space in the
Alexxandr [17]

Using 3.14 for PI.

The radius of a ball and the can is half the diameter = 1.25

The height of the can is the height of 3 diameters = 7.5

Volume of one tennis ball:

4/3 x PI x 1.25^3 = 8.18 cubic inches.

Volume of 3 tennis balls: 3 x 8.18 = 24.54 cubic inches.

Volume of can:

PI x 1.25^2 x 7.5 = 36.80 cubic inches.

Space = 36.80 - 24.54 = 12.26 cubic inches.
