In New York, state sales tax rates vary by county. In Allegany County, the sales tax rate is 8 1 2 %. a. A book costs $12.99, and a video game costs $39.99. Rounded to the nearest cent, how much more is the tax on the video game than the tax on the book?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 2.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sales tax rate [tex]= 8\frac{1}{2}\%=8.5\%[/tex]

The cost of the book is $ 12.99.

So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 12.99

[tex]= \frac {8.5}{100}\times 12.99[/tex]

=1.10

So, the sales tax on the book is $ 1.10.

The cost of the video game is $ 39.99.

So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 39.99

[tex]= \frac {8.5}{100}\times 39.99[/tex]

=3.30

So, the sales tax on the book is $ 3.40.

The difference of taxes on both the items = $ 3.40-$ 1.10=$ 2.30

So, the tax on the video game is $ 2.30 more than then tax on the book.

Becky needs to choose a new cell phone plan. She has 2 choices. Carolina Cell offers a monthly fee of $20.79 and $2.00 for each gigabyte of data used. Sanford Cell offers a monthly fee of $22.89 and $1.50 for each gigabyte of data used. What is the amount of gigabytes, to the nearest tenth, when both plans would cost the same?

Answers

Answer:

4.2 gigabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, you need to write an equation where the cost of Carolina Cell is equal to the cost of Sanford Cell:

20.79+2x=22.89+1.50x, where x is the number of gigabytes used.

Now, you can solve for x:

2x+1.50x=22.89-20.79

0.5x=2.1

x=2.1/0.5

x=4.2

According to this, the answer is that both plans would cost the same  when 4.2 gigabytes are used.

A trapezoid has a base of 4.5 inches, a height of 6 inches, and an area of 21 square inches. The equation below can be used to determine b2, the length in inches of the second base of the trapezoid.
12(4.5+b2)(6)=21

Answers

Answer:

2.5in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters;

  Base = 4.5inches

   Height = 6inches

    Area  = 21in²

Unknown:

b₂ = ?

Solution:

 Formula for finding the area of a trapezium;

         A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex](b_{1} + b_{2} )[/tex] x h

     Input the parameters and solve for b₂;

      21  =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex](4.5+ b_{2} )[/tex] x 6

   

       21 = 3(4.5 + b₂)

       21 = 13.5 + 3b₂

      21 - 13.5 = 3b₂

     b₂ = 2.5in

The coffee shop also sells small bag of coffee beans. the bags come in two 4/5 kilogram and 7/12 kilogram. How much more coffee does the bigger bag have?

Answers

I believe it is 13/60

First, you would make them have common denominators
4/5 (12/12) is 48/60
7/12 (5/55 is 35/60
Second, you want to find the difference
48-35=13
So from that, I would assume that the difference between the two is 13/60

The bigger bag have 13/60 kilogram more coffee.

What is fraction?

A fraction is defined as numerical representation for part of a whole which represents a rational number.

What are Arithmetic operations?

Arithmetic operations can also be specified by subtracting, dividing, and multiplying built-in functions.

+ Addition operation: Adds values on either side of the operator.

For example 12 + 2 = 14

- Subtraction operation: Subtracts the right-hand operand from the left-hand operand.

for example 12 -2 = 10

* Multiplication operation: Multiplies values on either side of the operator

For example 12*2 = 24

Given that the bags come in two 4/5 kilogram and 7/12 kilogram

⇒ 4/5

⇒ 7/12

We will first establish that there has a comparable denominator.

Multiply by (12/12) in the fraction 4/5

⇒ 4/5 (12/12)

⇒ 48/60

Multiply by (5/5) in the fraction 7/12

⇒ 7/12 (5/5)

⇒ 35/60

Determine the difference between fractions as :

⇒ 48/60 - 35/60

13/60 kilogram

Hence, the bigger bag have 13/60 kilogram more coffee.

Answers

Answer: Required ratio= 3:1.

larger bed has 3 square feet of area of every 1 square feet on smaller bed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Felipe has a flower bed with area [tex]\dfrac{25}4[/tex] square feet.

He expands the flower bed to have area [tex]\dfrac{75}4[/tex] square feet.

Now, area on larger flower bed  for every square foot of the smaller flower bed = (area of larger bed) ÷ (area of smaller bed)

[tex]= \dfrac{75}{4}\div\dfrac{25}{4}=\dfrac{75}{4}\times\dfrac{4}{25}=\dfrac{3}{1}[/tex]

So, larger bed has 3 square feet of area of every 1 square feet on smaller bed.

Required ratio= 3:1.

that's because Cosine is adjacent to the angle (the angle being 30 degrees and the side next to it is 43mm) divided by the hypotenuse (longest side of a right triangle. The 50 mm). A way you can remember the sin, cosine and tangent is SOH CAH TOA. Sine=opposite over hypotenuse, Cosine = adjacent over hypotenuse, Tangent = opposite over adjacent. For the next one, it is the same principal. X is adjacent to 22 degrees and the other number is the hypotenuse so it has to be Cosine.

the function is x^2-9, so all you have to do is replace x with a number. for example, 2.

so 2^2-9 is -5. the plot would be 2, -5. basically, plug in a number to be the x coord, and whatever number you get will be your y coord.

after you graph a few plots (doing the same thing above), draw a line through all of them.

if the line goes up towards the right top corner, it's increasing. if it goes down the right bottom corner, it's decreasing.

Answers

Answer:

A book was 53 pages shorter than you expected

Jennifer sold 53 apples.

Andrew spent $53.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question proposed that we should determine which situation can be said to be the opposite of 53. From the listed option, we will realize that the following:

A book was 53 pages shorter than you expected

Jennifer sold 53 apples.

Andrew spent $53.

The above options are the opposite of 53. This is because a book that was shorter than expected will need to be refilled.

Suppose Jennifer has x apples, and She sold 53 apples out of it. It means x = -53, which is the opposite of 53.

Andrew spent $53; let say Andrew had y+$53. After spending $53, he has y = - $53, which is the opposite of 53.

But the temperature, which was 53°F, will still be at that position on the thermometer provided it is not being affected by external conditions.

Answer:

x = 37, y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 11 and x + 21 are same- side interior angles and are supplementary, thus

3x + 11 + x + 21 = 189 , that is

4x + 32 = 180 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

4x = 148 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 37

--------------------------------

3x + 11 = 3(37) + 11 = 111 + 11 = 122

14y - 4 and 3x + 11 are vertical angles and congruent, thus

14y - 4 = 122 ( add 4 to both sides )

14y = 126 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 9
