Answer:

  $48.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the marked price of the mower. Then the price with tax is ...

  with tax = p + 7.3%×p = 1.073p

The amount Flicka paid is the amount tendered less the change she received, so is ...

  3×$20 - 7.45 = with tax = 1.073p

To find p, we can divide by its coefficient:

  (3 × $20 - 7.45)/1.073 = p ≈ $48.97

The selling price before taxes was $48.97.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

If you check the answer, you find the amount with tax is ...

  $48.97 × 1.073 ≈ $52.54481 ≈ $52.54

so the change Flicka would have received would have been $7.46, not $7.45. If the price were $48.98, then the change would have been $7.44. There is no price at which the mower can be marked that will make the total with tax come to $52.55. There is no solution to this problem.

Answer:

$48.97

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid three $20 bills

3 × 20 = $60

She received $7.45 change

60 - 7.45 = $52.55

The mower was for $52.55 with sales tax.

The sales tax is 7.3%.

Before the sales tax (reduce tax).

52.55 × (1-7.3%)

= $48.97

, 80 POINTS Find k so that P(k,0) is equidistant from points A(1,2) and B(2,5).
blagie [28]

Answer:

P(1.5, 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the average of the x and y coordinates. We do this by adding the two values, then dividing by two:

P(x1 + x2/ 2, y1 + y2/2) = P(1 + 2/ 2, 2 + 5/ 2) = P(3/2, 7/2) = P(1.5, 3.5)

These are our coordinates!

RS=2x-8, ST = 11, RT = x+10
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Equation~=~\Large\boxed{2x+3=x+10}

x~=~\Large\boxed{7}

RS~=~\Large\boxed{6}

RT~=~\Large\boxed{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given information</u>

RS=2x-8

ST=11

RT=x+10

<u>Derived expression from the given information</u>

<em>Presumably, I think this is a combination of segments</em>

RS+ST=RT

<u>Substitute values into the given expression</u>

(2x-8)+(11)=(x+10)

<u>Combine like terms</u>

<em>The following is the expression</em>

\Large\boxed{2x+3=x+10}

<u>Subtract 3 on both sides</u>

2x+3-3=x+10-3

2x=x+7

<u>Subtract x on both sides</u>

2x-x=x+7-x

\Large\boxed{x=7}

<u>Substitute the x value into corresponding expressions to determine the final value</u>

RS=2x-8=2(7)-8=14-8=\Large\boxed{6}

RT=x+10=(7)+10=\Large\boxed{17}

Hope this helps!! :)
