Answer:

The hotel at Qakertown charged $5000 before tax while the hotel at Doleystown charged $5,500 before tax

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have a musical band that visited two different towns which hotel charge different amounts at different tax rate. We are now given the total amount in taxes and now asked to calculate what is charged in each of the towns.

Let’s proceed!

Since we do not know the amount charged in each of the towns, let the amount charged at the hotel at Quakertown be $x and the amount charged at the hotel at Doleytown be $y.

Doley charged $500 more then what is charged at Quaker.

Mathematically;

y = 500 + x •••••••••••••••(I)

Let’s now work with the taxes;

Tax rate at Doley is 6% or say 0.06; the amount of tax paid at Doley is thus 0.06y

Tax rate at Quaker is 3% or say 0.03; the amount of tax paid at Quaker is thus 0.03x

Mathematically;

0.06y + 0.03x= 480 •••••••••(ii)

We can substitute i into ii

0.06(500 + x ) + 0.03x = 480

30+ 0.06x + 0.03x = 480

30 + 0.09x = 480

0.09x = 480 - 30

0.09x = 450

x = 450/0.09

x = $5,000

y = 500 + x

y = 500 + $5000 = $5,500

Firstly, you want to multiply (f^4)^2. \frac{2*f^8*f^2}{8f^{12}}


Next, multiply everything on the numerator. \frac{2f^{10}}{8f^{12}}


Next, divide. \frac{2f^{10}}{8f^{12}}=\frac{1}{4} f^{-2}


Now remember that f^-2 = (1/f^2), so just convert the negative powered exponent to that, and your answer will be \frac{1}{4f^2}

2 factors that add to 6 but multiply to 60
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The short answer is there isn’t.

Start by writing each of these as an expression:

x * y = 60

x + y = 7

Next, solve each for the same variable; in this case, y:

(x * y) / x = 60 / x

.: y = 60 / x

(x + y) - x = 7 - x

.: y = 7 - x

Next, replace y of the second expression to the first

y = 60 / x & y = 7 - x

.: 7 - x = 60 / x

Now, solve for x:

(7 - x) * x = (60 / x) * x

.: x * 7 - x^2 = 60

This is quadratic, so write it in the form of ax2 + bx + x = 0

(-1)x^2 + (7)x + (-60) = 0

.: a = -1, b = 7, c = -60

Finally solve for b:

x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / 2a

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(7^2 - 4*-1*-60)) / (2 * -1)

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(49 - 240)) / -2

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(-191)) / -2

The square root of a negative value is imaginary and thus there’s no real answer to this problem.
