Answer:

$37.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the shoes before tax is 100% of the price of the shoes.

Then the tax adds 5.5% of the price of the shoes to the price of the shoes.

He ends up paying 100% + 5.5% of the price of the shoes.

100% + 5.5% = 105.5%

Now we find 105.5% of $35.99.

105.5% of $35.99 = 1.055 × $35.99 = $37.96945

Answer: $37.97

37.97
You multiply 35.99 by .055 to get 1.98 then you add 35.99 + 1.98 = 37.97

Solve for the width in the formula for the area of a triangle

zmey [24]

Answer: $\frac{2A}{h} = w$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is $A = wh\frac{1}{2}$

Now we have to isolate for w.

First multiply by the 2 which is the reciprocal of 1/2 to cancel it out.

$2A = wh\\$

Now divide by h to isolate w.

$\frac{2A}{h} = w$

What is the slope between the points (3, 5) and (-2, -4)?

VARVARA [1.3K]

1 (B), because 3+-2=1, and 5+-4=1, which amounts to 1/1, or whole number 1.

Solve the equation: \frac{2}{3}t=\frac{5}{9} (hint: reciprocal)

Aleks04 [339]

Given:

$\frac{2}{3}t=\frac{5}{9}$ $\text{ We know that the reciprocal of }\frac{2}{3}\text{ is }\frac{3}{2}\text{.}$

Multiply both sides by 3/2, we get

$\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{2}{3}t=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{5}{9}$

Cancel out the common multiples, we get

$t=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{3}$

$t=\frac{1\times5}{2\times3}$

$t=\frac{5}{6}$

The solution of the given equation is

$t=\frac{5}{6}$

$t=0.8333.$
