Joe wants to buy a toaster that costs $15 dollars. The sales tax on the toaster is 5%. What is the total cost Joe will pay for the toaster? (Please explain how you solved the problem)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  $15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this a couple of ways.

(1) Compute the tax, and add it to the price to find the total.

  5% × $15 = 0.05 × $15 = $0.75 . . . . amount of tax

Then the total cost is $15 + $0.75 = $15.75.

__

(2) Add the percentage to 100% and use that to multiply the cost.

  total cost = $15 + 5% × $15 = $15×(100% +5%) = $15×1.05

  total cost = $15.75

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y= 9x+2 that passes through the point (-2,8). Show your work. Thank you :)

Answers

Answer: y=9x + 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that for two lines to be parallel they must have the same slopes but different y intercept.

So the equation y =9x + 2 has a slope of 9 and y-intercept of 2  so using the points  we can determine  the y intercept of the line parallel to it to find the.

Using the slope intercept form formula which is y = mx + b  we can plot in the slope and the given coordinates to solve for b.

The coordinate is (-2,8)  which the y value is 8 and the x value is -2

so  8 = 9(-2) +b    solve for b

  8 = -18  + b

 +18   +18

b = 26  

The y intercept is 26  so the equation will be y=9x + 26

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the distance between two points, you find the difference between the x values, square that, find the difference between the y values, square that, add the two numbers you got, and then find the square root.

We find the difference of the x values.

0-4=-4

Square it.

-4²=16

We find the difference between the y values.

2--1

2+1=3

And we square that.

3²=9

We add the two numbers we got.

16+9=25

And we find the square root.

√25=5

The distance between these points is 5. Now you can find the distance between any two points! Have a wonderful day! :D

Lille has a bag of chips to share with her friends. The bag contains 89 chips, and lille wants to share with 6 people including herself. She plans to give the leftovers to her sister. How many chips will her sister get?

Answers

Answer: 5 chips

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

Explanation:

Use your calculator to find that 89/6 = 14.8333 approximately

The whole part 14 means each of the six people get 14 chips

That means 6*14 = 84 chips have been eaten so far, leaving 89-84 = 5 chips left over for her sister.

----------

In other words,

89/6 = 14 remainder 5

which can be found through long division as shown below

Mae has $189 in her account. A $7 fee is charged each month the balance is below $750.She withdraw $315. If she makes no deposits or withdraws for the next x months express her balance algebraically

Answers

Answer:

$189 - $315 - $7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Amount in Mae's account = $189

Each month balance is below $750;

Amount charged = $7

She withdrew $315 from her account and makes no deposit or withdrawal for the next x months

Her balance :

Initial amount = $189

Withdrawal made = $315

Amount charged when balance falls below $750 = fee * number of months = 7 * x = 7x

Hence, her balance after x months will be :

$189 - $315 - $7x

The balance of Mae expressed algebraically will be 189 - 315 - 7x.

The following can be deduced from the question:

Amount in Mae's account = $189Each month balance is below $750Amount charged = $7

Therefore, the amount that is left in her account balance will be:

= 189 - 315 - (7 × x)

= 189 - 315 - 7x

Complete Question

The weight of an organ in adult males has a bell shaped distribution with a mean of 320 grams and a standard deviation of 20 grams. Use the empirical rule to determine the following. A.) About 68% of organs will be between what weights? B.) what percentage of organs weighs between 280 grams and 360 grams? C.) what percentage of organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 360 grams? D.) what percentage of organs weighs between 300 grams and 360 grams?

Answer:

A.) About 68% of organs will be between what weights?

Therefore, 68% of the organs will weigh between 300 and 340 grams.

B.) what percentage of organs weighs between 280 grams and 360 grams?

95%

C.) what percentage of organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 360 grams?

5%

D.) what percentage of organs weighs between 300 grams and 360 grams?

81.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical formula states that:

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ .

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

Where:

μ = Population mean

σ = Population standard deviation

From the above question, we have the following information

Mean weight = 320 grams

Standard deviation = 20 grams

a) About 68% of organs weight between:

To solve for this, we would use the empirical rule:

68% of the data values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean

Hence, 68% of the data values lie in the range:

Mean - 1 standard deviation to Mean + 1 Standard Deviation.

Mean - 1 Standard Deviation

μ - σ

= 320grams - 20grams = 300 grams

Mean + 1 Standard Deviation

μ + σ

= 320grams + 20grams = 340 grams

Therefore, 68% of the organs will weigh between 300 and 340 grams.

B.) what percentage of organs weighs between 280 grams and 360 grams?

Mean weight = 320 grams

Standard deviation = 20 grams

Hence,

x - mean = 280 grams - 320 grams = -40 grams

x - mean = 360 grams - 320 grams = 40 grams

Note that both differences = 2 × standard deviation

Hence, from the empirical formula above,

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ applies

Therefore, 95% of the organs fall between 280 grams and 320 grams

C.) what percentage of organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 360 grams?

Mean weight = 320 grams

Standard deviation = 20 grams

Hence,

x - mean = 280 grams - 320 grams = -40 grams

x - mean = 360 grams - 320 grams = 40 grams

So, from the empirical formula above,

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ applies

Therefore, 95% of the organs fall between 280 grams and 320 grams

It is important to note that finding the percentage of data that weighs less than or more than the given range of values, the formula is given as:

Percentage of Value outside( less than or more than) the range = 100% - Percentage of values within the range

100% - 95%

= 5%

Therefore, the percentage of organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 360 grams is 5%

D.) what percentage of organs weighs between 300 grams and 360 grams?

Mean weight = 320 grams

Standard deviation = 20 grams

Hence,

x - mean = 300 grams - 320 grams = -20 grams

20 grams = 1 × standard deviation

For 300 grams, the empirical formula that states that:

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ applies.

It is important to note that the percentage of values below the mean and above the mean must be the same.

But since this is a bell shaped distribution, the percentage of data between 300 and 320 grams = 68%/2

= 34%

x - mean = 360 grams - 320 grams = 40 grams

40 = 2 × standard deviation

For 360 grams , the empirical formula that states that,

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ applies

It is important to note that the percentage of values below the mean and above the mean must be the same.

Since this is a bell shaped distribution, the percentage between 320 and 360grams = 95%/2

= 47.5%

Therefore, the percentage of organs that weighs between 300 grams - 360 grams = 34% + 47.5%

= 81.5%

Answer:

£1600.

Step-by-step explanation:

The commission he earns in the week = 640 - 160 = £480.

This 480 is 30 percent or 0.30 of the value of his sales, so

the value of his sales = 480 / 0.30

Answer:

a = 8/29 thus: Step 1 is wrong!

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

8 - a/2 = 3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Put the fractions in 8 - a/2 over a common denominator.

Put each term in 8 - a/2 over the common denominator 2: 8 - a/2 = 16/2 - a/2:

16/2 - a/2 = 3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Combine 16/2 - a/2 into a single fraction.

16/2 - a/2 = (16 - a)/2:

(16 - a)/2 = 3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Make (16 - a)/2 = 3 (4 - 5 a) simpler by multiplying both sides by a constant.

Multiply both sides by 2:

(2 (16 - a))/2 = 2×3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (2 (16 - a))/2.

(2 (16 - a))/2 = 2/2×(16 - a) = 16 - a:

16 - a = 2×3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Multiply 2 and 3 together.

2×3 = 6:

16 - a = 6 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Write the linear polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

16 - a = 24 - 30 a

Hint: | Move terms with a to the left hand side.

Add 30 a to both sides:

30 a - a + 16 = (30 a - 30 a) + 24

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

30 a - 30 a = 0:

30 a - a + 16 = 24

Hint: | Group like terms in 30 a - a + 16.

Grouping like terms, 30 a - a + 16 = (-a + 30 a) + 16:

(-a + 30 a) + 16 = 24

Hint: | Combine like terms in 30 a - a.

30 a - a = 29 a:

29 a + 16 = 24

Hint: | Isolate terms with a to the left hand side.

Subtract 16 from both sides:

29 a + (16 - 16) = 24 - 16

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

16 - 16 = 0:

29 a = 24 - 16

Hint: | Evaluate 24 - 16.

24 - 16 = 8:

29 a = 8

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 29 a = 8 by 29:

(29 a)/29 = 8/29

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

29/29 = 1:
