An item costs 340 before tax, and the sales tax is 20.40.

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the sales tax rate, we divide the sales tax by the cost of the item. This will give us what percent of the cost of the item the sales tax is equal to.

So, 20.4 divided by 340 = 0.06

To convert to percent, we multiply 0.06 by 100=6. Therefore, the sales tax rate is 6%.

Check:

340 times 0.06 (the sales tax rate) is 20.4 (the sales tax).

Work out the area of the shaded region.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: Area of the shaded region is 6.867 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area corresponds to the difference of the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle.

Area of the rectangle = 4 times 8 = 32 cm^2

Area of the semicircle = 0.5 * pi * r^2   (where r is the radius, i.e., half of the diameters, i.e., 4 cm). So Area = 0.5*pi*4^2 = 25.133 cm^2

The difference: 32 - 25.133 = 6.867 cm^2 (area of the shaded region)

A rope is 250 centimeters long. You need the rope to be 1 1/2 meters long. How many centimeters should you cut off?
Drupady [299]
If you would like to know how many centimeters should you cut off, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 1/2 meters = 3/2 meters = 1.5 meters = 150 centimeters

250 centimeters - 1 1/2 meters = 250 centimeters - 150 centimeters = 100 centimeters = 1 meter

The correct result would be 100 centimeters.
