If I buy a stereo for $245 and this includes GST of 10%, what is the pre-GST price?

Answer:
$222.73

Explanation:
The multiplier would be 1.1 as (100% plus 10% as a decimal) and $245 is 110% and we want 100%. So 245 divided by 110 is 2.227 which would be 1%. But we want 100% so 2.227 x 100 is $222.73 (1 decimal place).

Answer: $222.73

===========================================

Work Shown:

x = pre-GST price

10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount

x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245

1.10x = 245

x = 245/1.10

x = 222.7272 approximately

x = 222.73 is the price before tax.

------------

Check:

10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27

The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get

22.27+222.73 = 245

which matches the post-GST price mentioned.

The answer is confirmed.

Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this

1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245

A jogger runs 140 m due west, then changes direction for the second leg of her run. At the end of the run, she is 374 m away fro

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The length of her second displacement = 247.12 m.

The direction of her second displacement = 31.24° from west.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

From the figure as drawn below,

Let the starting point be O. After running 140 m due west, she reached at point A.

∴ OA = 140 m

And At the end of the run, she is 374 m away from the starting point at an angle of 20° north of west.

∴ OP = 374 m

We have to find the distance AP = x.

By using the cosine rule in triangle OAP

$cos \theta = \frac{OA^{2}+OP^{2}-AP^{2}}{2\times OA\times OP}$

After putting the given value, we get

$cos 20= \frac{140^{2}+374^{2}-x^{2}}{2\times 140\times 374}$

$x^{2}=140^{2}+374^{2} - 2\times 140\times 374\times cos 20$

∴ x = 247.12 m

Hence,the length of her second displacement = 247.12 m.

Again,

By using the cosine rule in triangle OAP, we get

$cos \alpha = \frac{OA^{2}+AP^{2}-OP^{2}}{2\times OA\times AP}$

After putting the given value, we get

$cos \alpha = \frac{140^{2}+247.12^{2}-374^{2}}{2\times 140\times 247.12}$

∴ α = 148.759°

Hence, the direction of her second displacement = 180° - α = 180° - 148.759 = 31.24° from west.

The length of the missing side is: ?m

victus00 [196]

Answer:

85 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

for all right triangles, triangles with a 90 degree angle, the sides are equal to $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ where c is the hypotenuse, or the longest side.

so... $40^{2} + 75^{2} = c^{2}$

$7225 = c^{2}$

c= 85
