Megan’s aunt have her a $100 gift card to Toys R Us for her birthday. Determine the price of the most expensive toy that Megan can buy with this gift card if the sales tax is currently 9.8%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$91.07

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot take off 9.8% from $100 to find the answer, since 9.8% of $100 is more tax than she will pay. The toy has to cost less than $100, so that when you add 9.8% tax the price you end up with exactly $100, and 9.8% of under $100 is less that 9.8% of $100. Maybe this is why you are a few cents off.

This is how you do it.

The price of the toy is unknown, so we'll cal it x.

When you add 9.8% tax to x, you want to end up with exactly $100.

x + 9.8% of x = 100

Write 9.8% as a decimal by dividing the percent by 100.

9.8% = 9.8/100 = 0.098

Now we have:

x + 0.098x = 100

Add like terms on the left side:

1.098x = 100

Divide both sides by 1.098:

x = 100/1.098

x = 91.07

Answer: The most expensive toy she can get costs $91.07 before tax.

Check:

We now add 9.8% tax to $91.07 and make sure the total cost including tax  is no more than $100.

$91.07 + 9.8% of $91.07 =

= $91.07 + 0.098 * $91.07

= $91.07 + $8.92

= $99.99

It seems that you could try to spend one more cent, to really get to the $100 limit, so let's try $91.08 as the most expensive toy she can buy.

We now add 9.8% tax to $91.08 and see what the total cost including tax is.

$91.08 + 9.8% of $91.08 =

= $91.08 + 0.098 * $91.08

= $91.08 + $8.93

= $100.01

You see that if Megan gets a $91.08 toy, with tax, the total cost is $100.01, which is over the $100 limit, so the answer is indeed $91.07.

If BC = x − 2, CD = 19, and BD = 3x − 11, what is BD? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or integer. Could you please type the answer in a step by step.

Answers

Answer:

UV = 15

BD= 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, U is the midpoint of TV.

Therefore,

TU = UV

x + 10 = 3x

x - 3x = - 10

-2x = - 10

x = - 10/-2

x = 5

UV = 3x = 3*5

UV = 15

BD = BC + CD

3x - 11 = x - 2 + 19

3x - 11 = x + 17

3x - x = 11 + 17

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14

BD = 3x - 11 = 3*14-11 = 42 - 11

BD= 31

In Seattle, WA, it is said to rain 66% of the time. Since there are 365 days in a year, approximately how many days is it expected To rain? ​

Answers

365days is 100%
xdays is 66%

66x365 =24090
24090/100= 240,9
it’s expected to rain approximately 241 days

In a year with 365 days, it should rain for about 240 of those days for the given condition.

What is the percentage?

It is the ratio of two integers expressed as a decimal fraction of a whole number. It is a statistic for contrasting two sets of data, and the % sign is used to describe it as a percentage. Percentages are often and creatively used. For instance, a lot of data is published as percentages in the media, including bank interest rates, retail discounts, and inflation rates.

It is supposed to rain 66% of the time in Seattle, Washington. Considering that there are 365 days in a year,

Suppose the number of days is it expected to rain obtained be x,

x=66% of 365

x=66/100 × 365

x=240,9 ≈ 240

Thus, it should rain for about 240 days.

Answers

Answer:

6 1/2 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A carton has a length of 2 1/6 feet

The width is 1 1/5 feet

The height is 2 1/2 feet

Therefore the volume of the carton can be calculated as follows

= length × width × height

= 2 1/6 × 1 1/5 × 2 1/2

= 13/6 × 6/5 × 5/2

= 390/60

= 13/2

= 6 1/2 cubic feet

Answers

Answer:

C. The student did not put the polynomial in standard form before naming it by the first term. It is a fourth-degree trinomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

A trinomial is a polynomial with three variables. The polynomial -2x³ + 5x⁴ - 3x has three variables hence it is a trinomial.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of a variable in a polynomial equation.

The polynomial -2x³ + 5x⁴ - 3x can be arranged as The polynomial 5x⁴ - 2x³ - 3x, hence the variable with the highest degree is 5x⁴ which has a degree of 4.

Therefore The polynomial -2x³ + 5x⁴ - 3x  has a degree of 4

This means the polynomial -2x³ + 5x⁴ - 3x is a trinomial with a degree of 4
