Sales tax on an item is directly proportional to the cost of the item purchased if the tax on a $600 item is $36 what is the sales tax on a $950 item?

Answers

In this, you need to calculate the % of tax.
It would be: 36/600 * 100 = 6%

So, on $950 item it will be: 950*6/100 = $57

So, your final answer is $57

The sales tax on the item costs $950 is $57.

What is a proportional relationship?

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent. Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. That constant is known as the "constant of proportionality".

Given that, the cost of the item purchased if the tax on a $600 item is $36.

Now, rate of sales tax =36/600 ×100

= 6%

The sales tax on a $950 item is

6% of 950

= 0.06×950

= $57

Hence, the sales tax on the item costs $950 is $57.

The scale factor of the blueprint of a garage door to the actual garage door is 0.05. the are of the actual garage door is 220 ft^2.

What is the area of the garage door on the blueprint?

A. 0.55ft^2
B. 5.5ft^2
C. 11ft^2
D. 55ft^2

Answers

The scale factor 0.05 refers to length, so for area the scale factor is 0.05²=0.0025.

We then multiply: 220 ft²*0.0025=0.55 ft² (choice A)

Answer:

option A

[tex]0.55\ ft^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the area of the garage door on the blueprint

y------> the area of the actual garage door

z------> scale factor

we know that

The scale factor squared is equal to the area of the garage door on the blueprint divided by the area of the actual garage door

so

[tex]z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]z=0.05, y=220\ ft^{2}[/tex]

substitute the values and solve for x

[tex]0.05^{2}=\frac{x}{220}[/tex]

[tex]x=220(0.05^{2})[/tex]

[tex]x=0.55\ ft^{2}[/tex]

Can you please show me the steps? thank u ...?

Answers

1 1/3= 1 2/6=8/6 8/6÷5/6=8/5
In order to find the quotient of the given fractions above, the first thing we need to do is to convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
1 1/3 is 4/3. 
So now that we have 4/3 and 5/6, we now proceed to the division process.
4/3 divided by 5/6. The first thing to do is to turn the second fraction upside down which will look 6/5. Then proceed to multiplication.
4/3 x 6/5 and we get 24/15. The last step would be to simplify this and the final answer is 8/5 or 1 and 3/5. Hope this answer helps.

What is Algebraic equation ?

Algebraic equation is a mathematical way of expressing the way in which two expression are set equal to each other with given conditions.

Let x years ago the age of the ms. Ford was exactly twice as old as ms. Lincoln.

Answers

the way I did it before I knew calculus, was that when legnth=width, you get max area with minimumperimiter

legnth and width should be 20√5 meters

the following is calculus
xy=2000  and 2(x+y)=P

ok so
xy=2000
divide both sides by x
y=2000/x
sub 2000/x for y in other equation

2(x+2000/x)=P
2x+4000/x=P
to find the minimum value of this, take the derivitive and find where it equals 0

2=4000/(x^2)
2x^2=4000

Using the side lengths of △PQR and △STU, which angle has a sine ratio of 4/5?

Answer is A. ∠P

The angle that has the sine ratio, 4/5, is: A. Angle P.

What is the Sine Ratio?

Sine ratio is the ratio of the opposite side over the hypotenuse of the right triangle in respect to the given reference angle.

Given, sine ratio of 4/5, then it means:

Opposite side (side directly opposite to the reference angle) = 4

Hypotenuse (longest side) = 5.

Thus, in the image given, using P as the reference angle, the sine ratio of P is:

QR/PQ = 16/20 = 4/5

Therefore, the angle with the sine ratio of 4/5 is: A. P.

You take out a cash advance of $2,790.00 on a credit card with a 3.5% cash advance fee and a 13.5% APR. What is the amount due by the end of the month?

Answers

The first thing to consider is that when computing the APR for one month you must divide the interest rate by 12 since the 13.5% is based annually. 13.5% is equivalent to .135 in decimal form. But then when we divide it by 12 we get, (.135)/12 = .01125 which is your monthly interest rate versus your annual one. When multiplied by the amount of the cash advance you come up with the following fee: (principle)(monthly int. rate) = total interest charged for month ($2,790)(.01125) = $31.3875 The next thing to consider is the additional charge of the 3.5%. This is equivalent to .035 in decimal form. When multiplied by the amount of the cash advance you come up with the following fee: (principle)(advance int. fee) = total cash advance fee ($2790)(.035) = $97.65 So the total amount due at the end of the month would be $2790 + $31.39 + $97.65 = $2919.04 after interest rates and the additional fee gets applied.

Answer:

$2,920.14

Step-by-step explanation:

cash advance fee: $2,790.00 * 0.035 = $97.65original principal: $2,790.00 + $97.65 = $2,887.651st month interest accrued: ($2,887.65) (0.135)(1/12) = $32.49total due at end of 1st month: $2,887.65 + $32.49 = $2,920.14

Rachel works at a bookstore. On Tuesday, she sold twice as many books as she did on Monday. On Wednesday, she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday. During the three days Rachel sold 19 books. Create an equation that can be used to find m, the number of books Rachel sold on Monday.

Answers

The answer is 5 books.

m - the number of books sold on Monday
t - the number of books sold on Tuesday
w - the number of books sold on Wednesday

On Tuesday, she sold twice as many books as she did on Monday: t = 2m
On Wednesday, she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday: w = t - 6
During the three days Rachel sold 19 books: m + t + w = 19

t = 2m
w = t - 6 = 2m - 6
m + t + w = 19
______
Substitute t and w in the third equation:
m + 2m + 2m - 6 = 19
5m - 6 = 19
5m = 19 + 6
5m = 25
m = 25 : 5
m = 5

Your office manager used 45 paperclips for handouts at his presentation from the 450 paperclips available in the stock room. What percentage of the original number of paperclips did NOT get used?

Answers

90% of the paperclips were not used.

Answer:

90% of paperclips did not get used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your office manager used 45 paperclips for handouts at his presentation from the 450 paperclips available in the stock room.

We have to calculate the percentage of the original number of paperclips did not get used.

number of paperclips did not get used = 450 - 45 = 405

the percentage of 405 out of 450 = [tex]\frac{405}{450}[/tex] × 100

                                                         =  0.9 × 100

                                                         = 90%

Therefore, 90% of paperclips did not get used.

Hello, the slope of the line that runs parallel to y = x + 14 would be 1. Since the new line would be parallel, the slope stays the same (there is a 1 in front of the x) but the y-intercept would change. Hope this helps! :)
Since a line that is parallel to another has the same slope, you can say:

The slope of y = x + 14 is 1

The slope of the parallel line will be 1 as well
