The sales tax for an item was $15.60 and it cost $390 before tax. Find the sales tax rate. Write your answer as a percentage.

Answer:

To make only 12% profit, the discount should be increased to 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The percentage discount on goods = 10%

The profit made from the sale of the watch = 20%

The amount the watch was sold = Rs.10,710

The percentage VAT included = 13%

Let the recommended selling price of the watch = X

Therefore, we have;

The price after 10% discount = 0.9×X

Which gives;

The amount the watch was sold = Price after 10% discount + Price after 10% discount ×VAT

The amount the watch was sold = 0.9×X + 0.9×X×13% = 0.9×X + 0.9×X×0.13

Rs.10,710 = 0.9×X + 0.9×X×0.13 = 1.017×X

X = Rs.10,170/1.017 = Rs. 10,000

The recommended selling price of the watch = Rs. 10,000

The profit was 20% of selling price which gives;

Profit = Selling price - Cost price = Rs. 9,000  - Rs. X = 0.2 × Rs. X

9000 - X = 0.2×X

9000 = X + 0.2×X  = 1.2×X

X = 9000/1.2 = Rs. 7,500

To make only 12% profit, we have;

12% of Rs. 7,500 = 0.12 × Rs.7,500 = Rs. 900

Selling price = Cost price + Profit = Rs. 7,500 + Rs. 900 = Rs. 8,400

Percentage discount from Rs.10,000 to get Rs. 8,400 is given as follows;

Percentage discount = Y%

Therefore;

Y = (10,000 - 8,400)/10000 × 100 = 0.16 × 100 = 16%

Y = 16%

Therefore, to make only 12% profit, the discount should be increased to 16%.

Answer:

grade point average​ (GPA) as a weighted mean = 3.14

Yes, student makes the Dean's list.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the data is not given I will explain the question with a relevant example:

For example

Data:

Students grades are:  A, C, B, A, D

The corresponding number of credit hours: 3, 3, 3, 4, 1

The grading system assigns quality points to letter grades as​:

A = 4

B = 3

C = 2

D = 1

F = 0

To find:

grade point average​ (GPA) as a weighted mean

If the​ Dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or​ greater, did this student make the​ Dean's list?

Solution:

Weighted Mean =   Σx[tex]_{i}[/tex] w[tex]_{i}[/tex] / Σw[tex]_{i}[/tex]

Here

Using the earned grades of A, C, B, A, D and corresponding quality points to these letter grades we get:

A = 4

C = 2

B = 3

A = 4

D = 1

So the values in x[tex]_{i}[/tex] are:

x

4

2

3

4

1

Now the number of credit hours are represented as weights w[tex]_{i}[/tex] :

w

3

3

3

4

1

In order to calculate weighted mean first multiply x[tex]_{i}[/tex] with w[tex]_{i}[/tex]

x[tex]_{i}[/tex] w[tex]_{i}[/tex]

4 * 3 = 12

2 * 3 = 6

3 * 3 = 9

4 * 4 = 16

1 * 1 = 1

The sum of x[tex]_{i}[/tex] w[tex]_{i}[/tex] is :

Σx[tex]_{i}[/tex] w[tex]_{i}[/tex] = 12 + 6 + 9 + 16 + 1 = 44

Σx[tex]_{i}[/tex] w[tex]_{i}[/tex]  =  44

Now compute the sum of w[tex]_{i}[/tex]

Σw[tex]_{i}[/tex] = 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 1 = 14

Σw[tex]_{i}[/tex] = 14

Putting the values in the weighted mean formula:

Weighted Mean =   Σx[tex]_{i}[/tex] w[tex]_{i}[/tex] / Σw[tex]_{i}[/tex]

                           =  44 / 14

                           = 3.1429

Weighted Mean =   Σx[tex]_{i}[/tex] w[tex]_{i}[/tex] / Σw[tex]_{i}[/tex] = 3.14

Since the​ Dean's list requires a GPA of 3.00 or​ greater and the grade point average​ (GPA) as a weighted mean of the student is 3.14 so the student makes the​ Dean's list because his/her GPA is higher than 3.00

Answer:

  PQRS is a parallelogram with right-angle corners

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the base.

  QR is the midsegment of triangle BCD, so is parallel to BD.

  SP is the midsegment of triangle DAB, so is parallel to BD.

QR and SP are both parallel to BD, so are parallel to each other.

  RS is the midsegment of triangle CAD, so is parallel to AC.

  PQ is the midsegment of triangle ABC, so is parallel to AC.

RS and PQ are both parallel to AC, so are parallel to each other.

__

We have shown that opposite sides of PQRS are parallel to each other, so the figure is at least a parallelogram.

__

By virtue of the congruence of corresponding angles where a transversal crosses parallel lines, each of the so-far named lines can be shown to be perpendicular to any of the lines it meets.* Hence the figure PQRS must be a parallelogram with right angles, a rectangle.

_____

* Transversal BD crosses PQ, AC, and RS at right angles. Hence, transversals RS and PQ cross QR, BD, and SP at right angles. That is, the angles at corners P, Q, R, and S of the parallelogram are right angles.

Answer:

C.) 7.14 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is made up of a square and a circle. The circle is divided in half and each piece is set on one side of the square. This means that the diameter of the circle is equal to the length of the sides of the square, 2 inches.

The area of the square can be found by multiplying length times the width:

[tex]2*2=4[/tex]

The area of the square is 4 inches, and since we multiplied two lengths, we square the value:

A=4in²

Now find the area of the circle using the formula:

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius is 1. Insert values and solve:

[tex]A=\pi *1^2\\\\A=\pi *1\\\\A=\pi[/tex]

The area of the circle is equal to π. Add the values together:

[tex]4+\pi =7.14[/tex]

The area of the figure is 7.14 in²

Thank you.

Answer: Hi!

First, we will use inverse operations to remove the 7. Subtract 7 on both sides:

7 - 7 = 0

4 - 7 = -3

Our equation now looks like this:

-11b = -3

Now we will use inverse operations to isolate the b. Divide -11 on both sides:

-11b ÷ -11 = b

-3 ÷ -11 = 3/11

Our equation now looks like this:

3/11 = b

3/11 is equal to b. This is your answer!

Answer:

The regular bottle holds 9 fl oz less

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Family Size =  12 fl oz

Required

Determine the size held less by the regular bottle

From the question, we have that the regular bottle holds 75% less;

[tex]Regular\ Size = 75\% * Family\ Size[/tex]

Substitute 12 fl oz for Family Size

[tex]Regular\ Size =75\% * 12\ fl\ oz[/tex]

Convert percentage to fraction

[tex]Regular\ Size = \frac{75}{100} * 12\ fl \oz[/tex]

[tex]Regular\ Size = \frac{75 * 12\ fl\ oz}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Regular\ Size = \frac{900\ fl\ oz}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Regular\ Size = 9\ fl\ oz[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ishan’s age equal an unknown quantity we’ll call “x”.

An age 4 times Ishan’s would be 4 times x, written “4x”.

An age 6 years older than Ishan’s would be written “x+6”.

Now, through the magic of algebra, we can write an equation: 4x = x+6 . This means that “four times Ishan’s age is equal to his age plus six.”

The magic continues: you can subtract an”x” from each side of the equation. You can subtract any quantity from either side, but subtracting”x” will leave 6 on the right and “3x” on the left: 3x = 6.

Divide both sides by the same quantity: 3.

This will give you x =2. This indicates Ishan’s age is 2.

Answer:

Ishaan is 2 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a systems of equations for this, assuming b is Ben's age and i is Ishaan's age.

[tex]b = 4i[/tex]

[tex]b = i+6[/tex]

Let's solve via substitution.

[tex]4i = i+6[/tex]

Subtract i from both sides:

[tex]3i = 6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]i = 2[/tex]

So Ishaan is 2 years old. Ben is:

[tex]4(2) = 8[/tex] years old.

The correct answer would be 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (8x² −15x)−(x² −27x) = ax² +bx, we are to determine the value of b-a. Before we determine the vwlue of b-a, we need to first calculate for the value of a and b from the given expression.

On expanding the left hand side of the expression we have;

= (8x² −15x)−(x² −27x)

Open the paranthesis

= 8x² −15x−x²+27x

collect the like terms

= 8x²−x²+27x −15x

=  7x²+12x

Comparing the resulting expression with ax²+bx

7x²+12x =  ax²+bx

7x² = ax²

a = 7

Also;

12x = bx

b =12

The value of b - a = 12 - 7

b -a = 5

Hence the value of b-a is equivalent to 5

The value of b minus a is 5

Since the expression is

[tex](8x^2 -15x)-(x^2 -27x) = ax^2 +bx[/tex]

Here we have to expand the left-hand side of the expression so it should be like

[tex]= (8x^2 -15x)-(x^2 -27x)\\\\= 8x^2 -15x-x^2+27x\\\\= 8x^2-x^2+27x -15x\\\\= 7x^2+12x[/tex]

Now

[tex]7x^2+12x = ax^2+bx\\\\7x^2 = ax^2[/tex]

a = 7

Also;

12x = bx

b =12

So,

The value of b - a = 12 - 7

b -a = 5

Hence the value of b-a should be 5
