Your company recently made a purchase of 25 identical tables. The purchase price after adding 5 percent sales tax was 1,706.25.

You later realize that only need 20 tables. If you decided to return five tables, what would be the refund about before tax?

If c = the cost of one table, the cost of all 25 tables before sales tax is 25·c

Since the sales tax is 5%, or 0.05, the sales tax for 25 tables is 25·c·0.05

Adding the sales tax to the original cost of the 25 tables can give you:
25·c + 25·c·0.05 = 1706.25
1.05·25·c = 1706.25
26.25·c = 1706.25
c = \frac{1706.25}{26.25} = 65

so the refund for 5 tables would be 5*65 = $325

a right triangle has side lengths 8 15 and 17 as shown below use these lengths to find tan B sin B and cosine B​
trapecia [35]

Answer:

sin(B) =  \frac{15}{17}

cos(B) = \frac{8}{17}

tan(B) = \frac{15}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

I always find it easiest to model out the triangle: Angle B will be at the converging point of a and c.

Using SOH CAH TOA, we know that the Sin of an angle will be its opposite over hypotenuse. The opposite is 15, and the hypotenuse is 17.

So  \frac{15}{17} is the sin of B.

We also know that the cosine of B will be it's adjacent over hypotenuse. The adjacent is 8 and the hypotenuse is 17, so

\frac{8}{17}

Lastly, we know the tangent of B will be it's opposite over adjacent. The opposite of B is 15, and it's adjacent is 8, so

\frac{15}{8} is the tangent of B.

Hope this helped!

Write the equation of the line that has the slope m=2/5 and passes through the point ​(25​,−9​). Write the equation in​ slope-in
klemol [59]
You're given the slope of the line and a point thru which the line passes.  So it makes sense to use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:  if the point is (a,b) and the slope is m, then 

y-b=m(x-a).  You'd then solve this for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form.

On the other hand, if you're asked to write the equation in slope-intercept form, starting with the general form of this equation may be faster:  y=mx+b.

Substitute the given values for x and y (which are 25 and -9) and m (which is (2/5).  Solve the resulting equation for b (the y-intercept).

Then write the finished equation:  y=( ? )x + b, where b is the y-intercept you've just found.

The absolute value of 5 is -5. True or False​
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf False}

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is always positive. It can never be negative. It is considered to be the distance from 0 of a certain number.

So,

<h2>|5| = 5</h2><h2 />
