State sales tax y is directly proportional to retail price x. An item that sells for 156 dollars has a sales tax of 14.42 dollars. Find a mathematical model that gives the amount of sales tax y in terms of the retail price x .

What is the sales tax on a 320 dollars purchase.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sales tax on a 320 dollars purchase is of $29.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

State sales tax y is directly proportional to retail price x.

This means that:

[tex]y = cx[/tex]

In which c is the constant of proportionality.

An item that sells for 156 dollars has a sales tax of 14.42 dollars.

This means that [tex]x = 156, y = 14.42[/tex]. We use this to find c. So

[tex]y = cx[/tex]

[tex]14.42 = 156c[/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{14.42}{156}[/tex]

[tex]c = 0.0924[/tex]

Then

[tex]y = 0.0924x[/tex]

What is the sales tax on a 320 dollars purchase?

y when [tex]x = 320[/tex]. So

[tex]y = 0.0924(320) = 29.6[/tex]

The sales tax on a 320 dollars purchase is of $29.6.

The sum of -4 and the difference of 3 and 1

Answers

Answer: -2


Step 1: Write an equation

Before we are able to solve, we need to write an equation. We can do this by breaking down the equation. We are told to find the sum of -4 and the difference of another two numbers. Sum means addition, so we will add -4 to the difference of 3 and 1. Because we are adding to the difference, we will put 3 and 1 inside of parentheses, and find the difference before we add. Knowing this, we can write the equation. Let’s do this now.

-4+(3-1)

Step 2: Solve

Now that we have the equation we can solve for the answer. Let’s start by finding the difference, as indicated by the parentheses. After that, we can find the sum of that number and -4 by adding them together. We can do this now.

-4+(3-1)
-4+2
-2

This is your answer! The sum of -4 and the difference of 3 and 1 is -2. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.

A 8 year old boy has 6 different toys and wants to put them all in a straight line.
In how many ways can this be done?

I would appreciate step by step, as I have no clue on how to solve. Thanks!

Answers

Answer:  720

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

Explanation:

The number 8 from "8 year old boy" can be completely ignored. In my opinion, this is an (un)intentional distraction on your teacher's part.

There are 6 toys to arrange. The order is important.

For the first slot, there are 6 choices. Then the second slot has 5 choices (we cannot have a toy occupy more than one slot at a time).The third slot has 4 choices, and so on.

We have this countdown: 6,5,4,3,2,1

Those values multiply out to 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720

There are 720 ways to arrange the 6 different toys. Order matters.

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

An alternative approach is to use the nPr permutation formula with n = 6 and r = 6. We use a permutation because order matters.

The nPr formula is

[tex]_{n} P _{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\[/tex]

where the exclamation marks indicate factorial. For example, 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720.

The x-intercepts are the points on the plot of a function f(x) where the graph crosses the x-axis. In other words, they're the values of x that make f(x) = 0.

In this case, the x-intercepts are the two roots of the parabola,

(x - 4) (x - 5) = 0 … … … (this is what the hint is referring to)

==>   x - 4 = 0   or   x - 5 = 0

==>   x = 4   or   x = 5

The intercepts themselves are points (x, f(x)), so you can report them as (4, 0) and (5, 0).

Answer:

68.1

Step-by-step explanation:

If those angles are congruent, then all side lengths follow the same ratio.

So the smaller triangle side length of 9 over the small side length of the bigger triangle 21.5, is the ratio for all the sides.

9/21.5 = unknown side / 48

unknown side = 48 * 9/21.5

So to find the length of CD, multiply 48 by our ratio to get ~ 20.1

A raffle has a grand prize of a European cruise valued at $10000 with a second prize of a Rocky Point vacation valued at $700. If each ticket costs $4 and 11000 tickets are sold, what are the expected winnings for a ticket buyer?

Answers

Answer:

- 3.027

Step-by-step explanation:

First price = 10000 ; second price = 700

Number of tickets sold = 11000

Ticket cost = $4

Probability that a ticket wins grand price = 1 / 11000

Probability that a ticket wins second price = 1 / 11000

X ____ 10000 _____ 700

P(x) ___ 1 / 11000 ___ 1/11000

Expected winning for a ticket buyer :

E(X) = Σx*p(x)

E(X) = (1/11000 * 10000) + (1/11000 * 700) - ticket cost

E(X) = 0.9090909 + 0.0636363 - 4

E(X) = - 3.0272728

Question 5 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

Bunny Hill Ski Resort charges $35 for ski rental and $10 an hour to ski. Black Diamond Ski Resort charges $40 for ski rental and $5 an hour to ski. Create an equation to determine at what point
the cost of both ski slopes is the same.

Answers

Answer:

Bunny Hill Ski Resort:

y = 10x + 35

Diamond Ski Resort:

y = 5x + 40

Point where the cost is the same:

(1, 45)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells us that:

$35 and $40 are initial fees

$10 and $5 are hourly fees

This means that x and y will equal:

x = number of hours

y = total cost of ski rental after a number of hours

So we can form these 2 equations:

y = 10x + 35

y = 5x + 40

Now we are going to use System of Equations to find what point the cost of both ski slopes is the same.

Because they both equal y, we can set the equations equal to each other:

10x + 35 = 5x + 40

And we use basic algebra to solve for x:

10x + 35 = 5x + 40

(subtract 5x from both sides)

5x + 35 = 40

(subtract 35 from both sides)

5x = 5

(divide both sides by 5)

x = 1

Remember, x equals the number of hours.

That means when your rent out the skis for 1 hour, you will get the same price of $45 (you find the price by plugging in 1 into both of the equations)

What is a quadratic equation?

A basic quadratic equation, or a second-order polynomial equation with a single variable, is represented by the equation x : ax² + bx + c = 0, where a≠0 for the variable x. As it is a second-order polynomial equation, which is ensured by the algebraic fundamental theorem, it must have at least one solution.

We can start by simplifying the quadratic equation:

y = (x + 3)² – 4

y = x² + 6x + 9 - 4

y = x² + 6x + 5

Now, we can use various methods to find values of x and y that satisfy this equation. Here are five possible values:

If we substitute x = -1, we get:

y = (-1)² + 6(-1) + 5

y = 0

So, one solution is (-1, 0).

If we substitute x = 0, we get:

y = 0² + 6(0) + 5

y = 5

So, another solution is (0, 5).

If we substitute x = -5, we get:

y = (-5)² + 6(-5) + 5

y = 0

So, another solution is (-5, 0).

To find rational solutions, we can factor in the quadratic expression:

y = x² + 6x + 5

y = (x + 1)(x + 5)

So, the solutions are x = -1 and x = -5. Substituting these values into the equation, we get:

For x = -1, y = (-1)² + 6(-1) + 5 = 0

For x = -5, y = (-5)² + 6(-5) + 5 = 0

So, the solutions are (-1, 0) and (-5, 0).
