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.

The length of a rectangle is 4 centimeters more than twice its width of the perimeter of the rectangle is 86centimeters find the

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

$Width= 13 cm$

$length=30cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be 'L'

And the width of the rectangle be 'W'

$Perimeter= 86 cm$

According to the statement:

$Length= 2*Width+4\\L=2W+4$

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2(Length+Width)

$86=2(2W+4+W)\\86/2=3W+4\\43=3W+4\\3W=43-4\\3W=39\\W=39/3\\W=13 cm\\\\Length(L)=2W+4\\=2(13)+4=26+4=30 cm\\Length=30 cm$

$Width= 13 cm$

$length=30cm$

Find the size of angle YZX

Tasya [4]

Answer:

21.001 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows right triangle with

Hypotenuse ZY = 22.3 cm

Leg XY = 7.5 cm

By the Pythagorean theorem,

$XY^2+XZ^2=ZY^2\\ \\7.5^2+XZ^2=22.3^2\\ \\XZ^2=22.3^2-7.5^2\\ \\XZ^2=(22.3-7.5)(22.3+7.5)\\ \\XZ^2=14.8\cdot 29.8\\ \\XZ^2=441.04\\ \\XZ=\sqrt{441.04}\approx 21.001\ cm$

anygoal [31]

Answer:

c. 3680

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2010, the population was 8000.

In 2014, it increased by 15%.

Population in 2014 :

= 8000 + 15/100×8000

= 8000 + 1200

= 9200.

Now, 2/5 of the population was age 12 or under.

= 2/5 × 9200

= 2×1840

= 3680

Answer - c) 3680

If g(x) = 3x + 1, evaluate g(-2).

zloy xaker [14]

G(x) = 3x + 1, evaluate g(-2).

Simply plug in (- 3) in g(x)

g(-2) = 3(-2) + 1

g(-2) = - 6 +1

g(-2) = - 5
