Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 15% is calculated on the cost before tax, $x.

So x + 0.15x = 270.25

1.15x = 270.25

x = 270.25/1.15

= $235.

So 270.25 - 235

= $35.25 was sales tax.

Rosa's test scores are 78, 92, 88, and 89. What must she score on her next test to have an average of 90? A) 95 B) 97 C) 99 D) 1

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the score on her next test

$\frac{78 + 92 + 88 + 89 + x}{5} = 90$

$(5)\frac{78 + 92 + 88 + 89 + x}{5} = (5)90$

78 + 92 + 88 + 89 + x = 5(90)

347 + x = 450

-347 -347

x = 103

Marcus is building a fence around his rectangular backyard. The length of his backyard is 75 3/4 ft, and the width is 81 1/4 ft.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

4,923.75ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the backyard = Length * width \

Area of the backyard = 75 3/4 * 81 1/4

Area of the backyard = 303/4 * 325/4

Area of the backyard = 6,154.6875ft²

If 3/4 of the fence is finished, the area of the finished part is expressed as;

Finished part = 1/5 * 6,154.6875

Finished part = 1,230.9375ft²

Part left unfinished = 6,154.6875-1,230.9375

Part left unfinished = 4,923.75ft²
