A city has a 5% sales tax.

A book costs $32.55 after tax.

How much did it cost before tax?
*please answer quick and tell me how you did it*

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $30.92

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to turn 5% into a decimal so that you can use it easier in a math sentence -- 0.05

Next, find out what 5% of $32.55 is by multiplying

0.05 x 32.55

= 1.6275

Round to the nearest cent because we don't use anything smaller than a cent when we are talking about money.

= $1.63

This is the amount of tax included in the price of $32.55

If we want to know what it the book cost before tax we simply take the tax off.

$32.55 - $1.63

= $30.92

Hope that helps :)

You're assuming that this data set represents all of Mrs. Hassaan's pupils. Certain students could be missing from the histogram - for instance, there could be one or two students who missed the test, but for certain reasons will be taking a make-up exam. Their grade would not be recording in this data set, but they still contribute to the class size, and so would be unaccounted for here.

800 adults were surveyed to find out how many notes per week they cook dinner 60% indicated that they cooked dinner more than four nights at per week based on the results of the survey how many adults out of a group of 2000 to cooked dinner more than four nights per week

Answers

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

60                 x

-              =    -

100               800

There are 2 ways to solve this.

1) 800 x 60= 48,000

Divide by 100= 480

x=480

2)  Multiply 60 by 8.

Now there are another 2 ways to go.

1) 480        x

   -        =   -

  800        2000

OR

2) 60            x

   -          =    -

   100           2000

I recommend the second option for both. It is easier. The second option allows you to find and equal ratio, with less of the hassle.  

To get 2000, 100 must be multiplied by 20. So.... multiply 60 by 20 to get a equal ratio.

Your answer is 1200. Meaning 1200 adults cooked dinner more than four nights per week.

I hope this helps you significantly

A standard train ticket in a certain city costs $1.50 per ride. People who use the train also have the option of purchasing a frequent rider pass for $17.25 per month. With the pass, a ticket costs only $0.75 per ride. How many train rides a month make the frequent rider pass a better deal than standard train tickets?

Answers

Just off the bat 17$is 12 rides and then 17.25 +0.75 is 18 so 13 rides

x = number of rides per month.

Without the pass, the cost per ride is 2.00 per ride.

With the pass, the cost per ride is 1.25 per ride plus 15.75 per month.

You want to know at what number of rides does the cost per ride using the pass become cheaper than the cost per ride without using the pass.

The formula for total cost is as follows:

without the pass:

C1 = 2*x

with the pass:

C2 = 15.75 + 1.25*x

You want to know when C2 becomes less than C1.

C2 < C1 is the inequality equation you are looking for.

Since C2 = 15.75 + 1.25*x, and C1 = 2*x, this equation becomes:

15.75 + 1.25*x < 2*x

Subtract 1.25*x from both sides of this equation to get:

15.75 < 2*x - 1.25*x which becomes:

15.75 < .75*x

Divide both sides of this equation by .75*x to get:

15.75/.75 < x

Simplify to get:

21 < x

21 < x is the same as x > 21.

Your answer is the C2 becomes cheaper than C1 when x > 21.

If you make x = 21, then:

C1 = 2*21 = 42
C2 = 15.75 + 1.25*21 = 15.75 + 26.25 = 42

They are equal.

If you make x = 22, then:

C1 = 2*22 = 44
C2 = 15.75 + 1.25*22 = 15.75 + 27.5 = 43.25

43.25 is cheaper than 44 so C2 is cheaper than C1, confirming that the equation is good.

It is not possible to divide 22 by 0 because there is no you can ______ by 0 and get 22.

The average fuel efficiency of U.S. light vehicles (cars, SUVs, minivans, vans, and light trucks) for 2005 was 21 mpg. If the standard deviation of the population was 2.9 and the gas ratings were normally distributed, what is the probability that the mean mpg for a random sample of 25 light vehicles is Under 20

Answers

Answer:

0.042341

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ/n, where

x is the raw score = 20 mpg

μ is the population mean = 21 mpg

σ is the population standard deviation = 2.9

n = random number of samples

Hence:

For x < 20

= z = 20 - 21/2.9/√25

= z = -1/2.9/5

= z = -1.72414

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<20) = 0.042341

The probability that the mean mpg for a random sample of 25 light vehicles is Under 20 mpg is 0.042341

The probability that the mean mpg for a random sample of 25 light vehicles is 0.042341

Calculation:

Here we used z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ/n, wherex is the raw score = 20 mpgμ is the population mean = 21 mpgσ is the population standard deviation = 2.9n = random number of samples

So,

For x < 20

= z = 20 - 21/2.9/√25

= z = -1/2.9/5

= z = -1.72414

Now

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<20) = 0.042341

what is 4855/200 simplified

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 2427.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction consists of two numbers and a fraction bar: 4,855/200

The number above the bar is called numerator: 4,855

The number below the bar is called denominator: 200

The fraction bar means that the two numbers are dividing themselves.

To get fraction's value divide the numerator by the denominator:

Value = 4,855 ÷ 200

To calculate the greatest common factor, GCF:

1. Build the prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator.

2. Multiply all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents.

Factor both the numerator and denominator, break them down to prime factors:

Determine whether the system of linear equations has one and only one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.

Answers

Answer:

only one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question:

Determine whether the system of linear equations has one and only one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. 2x − y = 2 3x + y = −6 one and only one solution infinitely many solutions no solution Find the solution, if one exists. (If there are infinitely many solutions, express x and y in terms of the parameter t. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.) (x, y) =

Given the expression

2x − y = 2 .... 1

3x + y = −6  ..... 2

We are to determine the number of solution the equation has:

Add equation 1 and 2

2x + 3x = 2 - 6

5x = -4

x = -4/5

Substitute x = -4/5 into 1

From 1: 2x − y = 2 .... 1

2(-4/5) - y = 2

-8/5 - y = -2

-y = -2+8/5

-y = -10+8/5

-y = -2/5

y = 2/5

Since the value of x and y are just 1 hence the system of equations has ine solution

Answer:

A. Store A will cost about $1.28 less

Step-by-step explanation:

Store A:

Unit rate = y/x

Using any given pair, say (3, 7.26),

Unit rate = 7.26/3 = $2.42 per gallon

So, of a customer is buying 16 gallons at Store A, he'd pay:

$2.42 * 16 = $38.72

Store B:

Unit rate = y/x

Using any point on the graph, say (20, 50),

Unit rate = 50/20 = $2.5 per gallon

So, of a customer is buying 16 gallons at Store B, he'd pay:

$2.5 * 16 = $40.

Cost of Store B - Cost of Store A = $40 - $38.72 = 1.28

This means that Store A cost about $1.28 less

A patient needs a total dose of 50 grams of albumin. The pharmacy has 50 m
bottles of 25% Albumin in stock. How many bottles should the pharmacy
technician prepare to provide the required dose?

Answers

Answer : The number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose are 4 bottles.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that a patient needs a total dose of 50 grams of albumin and the pharmacy has 50 mL bottles of 25% Albumin in stock.

Now we have to determine the number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose.

As,

The pharmacy  has stock albumin = [tex]50mL\times \frac{25}{100}[/tex]

The pharmacy  has stock albumin = 12.5 mL

So,

Number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose = [tex]\frac{50}{12.5}[/tex]

Number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose = 4

Therefore, the number of bottles should the pharmacy  technician prepare to provide the required dose are 4 bottles.
