X = cost of car before tax
Total cost = (cost of car before tax) + (tax amount)
Total cost = x + 5% of x
Total cost = x + 0.05x
Total cost = 1.05x
The total cost is given to be $14,512, which means
<span>Total cost = 1.05x = 14512
</span>
1.05x = 14512
1.05x/1.05 = 14512/1.05
x = 13,820.95238
x = 13,820.95
The total cost of the car before tax, to the nearest cent, is $13,820.95
Answer:
Lowest acceptable score = 121.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean test score (μ) = 115
Standard deviation (σ) = 12
The z-score for any given test score 'X' is defined as:
In this situation, the organization is looking for people who scored in the upper 30% range, that is, people at or above the 70-th percentile of the normally distributed scores. At the 70-th percentile, the corresponding z-score is 0.525 (obtained from a z-score table). The minimum score, X, that would enable a candidate to apply for membership is:

Pyramid's apex is constructed by isosceles triangles. If we slice it from its apex-from the vertex, in the cross section we'll obtain a triangle, This triangle is also going to be an isosceles triangle.
You already have figured the main idea. In this case, the population is growing 1.9% a year. This word can be translated into: multiplied by 101.9% (100+1.9%). That means the P0 is 6 bill, the base is 101.9%(or 1.019) and the time is 50 years. The calculation would be:
<span>P(t)=P₀a^t
</span>P(t)=6 billion * 101.9%^50= 6 billion * <span>2.56276= 15.38 billion</span><span>
</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
well,
(y - 7)² = (y - 7)(y - 7)
remember how to multiply 2 expressions ?
you have to multiply every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and sum the results all up (incl. considering their individual signs, of course).
so, when we do the multiplication, we get
(y - 7)(y - 7) = y×y - 7×y - 7×y + (-7)×(-7) =
= y² - 14y + 49
and that is clearly different to y² - 49
FYI
y² - 49 is the result of
(y - 7)(y + 7)
because
y×y + 7×y - 7×y + (-7)(7) = y² - 49
