Graham paid $87.45 for a pair of jeans. This amount included a tax of 40%. What was the cost of the jeans before tax?

Answers

Answer 1

The final price is the cost plus the tax.

Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as

T = C(1+r)

T = what Graham paid = $87.45

C = cost before tax

r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40

Plugging in what we know

87.45 = C (1+.4)

87.45 = C(1.4)

Divide both sides by 1.4

C = $62.46

If there are 13,000,000 people in Pennsylvania, how many people would have to show Christmas spirit for packages to be delivered in PA? Make sure to put commas in your answer and use a calculator if you need to. * 2 points

Answers

Answer: 11,700,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people in Pennsylvania =13,000,000

Fraction of people that will show Christmas spirit for Santa's sleigh to deliver all packages = 9/10

The number of people that would have to show Christmas spirit for packages to be delivered in PA will be:

= 9/10 × 13,000,000

= 11,700,000

ASAP plz

Answers

Answer: (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to use substitution to solve this:

First, I use the second equation to solve for y in terms of x.

2x - y = 2

-y = 2 - 2x

y = 2x - 2

Then, I plug the value for y into the first equation:

2x + 4y = 12

2x + 4(2x - 2) = 12

2x + 8x - 8 = 12

10x - 8 = 12

10x = 20

x = 2

Now that we have x, we can plug it into either equation (I used the first) to get the value for y:

2x + 4y = 12

2(2) + 4y = 12

4 + 4y = 12

4y = 8

y = 2

We get the point (2,2) as a solution.

Note: This is the point where both lines intersect.

After solving the equation, the value of for the points x and y are (2, 2).

What is an equation?

Equations are mathematical expressions that have two algebra on either side of an equal (=) sign. The expressions on the left and right are shown to be equal to one another, demonstrating this relationship. L.H.S. = R.H.S. (left-hand side = right side) is a fundamental simple equation.

As per the given equation in the question,

2x + 4y = 12   (i) and

2x - y = 2  (ii)

Solve the value for y,

5y = 10

y = 10/5

y = 2

Substitute y=2 in equation (i)

2x + 4(2) = 12

2x = 12 - 8

x = 4/2

x = 2

Therefore, the point is (2, 2).

What is the radian measure of an angle equal to 225 degrees????

Answers

Answer:

225° = 5π/4 radians.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps :D

The radian measure of an angle of 225 degrees is 1.25π radian or 3.925 radians.

Given,

225 degrees.

We need to find the radian measure of 225 degrees.

What is the radian measure of an angle?

We have,

π radian = 180 degree

So,

2π = 360 degrees.

This is the formula for the radian of an angle.

Find the radian measure for 225 degrees.

We have,

π radian = 180 degrees

Multiply 225/180 on both sides by 180.

225/180 x π radian = 225/180 x 180 degrees

1.25 π radian = 225 degrees

or

We can take π = 22/7 = 3.14

225/180 x 3.14 radian = 225 degrees.

3.925 radian = 225 degrees

Thus the radian measure of an angle of 225 degrees is 1.25π radian or 3.925 radians.
