Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer we can use proportion. We know that 4$ its 100% and 4.32 its 100% + taxes.

4$ ---------- 100%

4.32 -------- x

cross multiply now

4x=4.32*100%

4x=432%     /:4

x=108%

We know that 4.32 its 100% + taxes=108% so to get taxes we have to subtract 108-100.

108%-100%=8% - its the answer.

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

$4 represents the sale price

4.32 - 4 =$ .32 represents the sale tax

Tax rate is the percentage $ .32 out of $4.

 4 is 100%

.32 is x%

Cross multiply to find x, and divide by 4

x= (.32·100) / 4

x = 8

The tax rate is 8%.

Mrs smith bought a.box of 10 cupcake she ate 30% of the cupcake how many did she eat
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

3 Cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply the percentage, 30, times the number of cupcakes, 10, ad you get 300. Then, divide that by 100, and oyu get your answer, 3 cupcakes.

*Or since this form of equation is in a simpler form of 10 cupcakes, just get rid of the percentage sign and the 0 in 30%. I hope this helps :)

Rewrite in simplest radical form 1 over x^(−3/6). Show each step of your process.

Find the area of each shape by decomposing each shape into rectangle and/or triangle.
avanturin [10]

Remark

You don't have to decompose the second one, and it is better if you don't. Just find the area as you probably did: use the formula for a trapezoid. You have to assume that the 6cm line hits the 2 bases at right angles for each of them, otherwise, you don't know the height. So I'm going to assume that we are in agreement about the second one.

Problem One

The answer for this one has to be broken down and unfortunately, you answer is not right for the total area, although you might get 52 for the triangle. Let's check that out.

<em><u>Triangle</u></em>

Area = 1/2 * b * h

base = 16 cm

h = 10 - 4 = 6

Area = 1/2 * 16 * 6

Area = 48

<em><u>Area of the Rectangle</u></em>

Area = L * W

L = 16

W = 4

Area = L * W

Area = 16 * 4

Area = 64

<em><u>Total Area</u></em>

Area = 64 + 48

Area = 112  of both figures <<<< Answer
