The sales tax on a pair of jeans is 7%. if juan paid $3.15 in tax, what was the cost of the jeans before tax?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.93

Step-by-step explanation:

3.15×7/100=0.2205

3.15-0.2205=2.9295

Answer 2

The cost of the jeans before tax $2.9295

What is percentage?

"It is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100."

For given example,

Let 'a' be the original price of the jeans.

Let 'b' be the price of the jeans with tax.

then, b = a + tax

Juan paid $3.15 in tax for the jeans.

The sales tax on a pair of jeans is 7 percent.

First we find the tax on a pair of jeans.

⇒ tax = b × 7%

⇒ tax = 3.15 × (7/100)

⇒ tax = $0.2205

We need to find the cost of the jeans before tax.

Here, b = $3.15, tax amount = $0.2205

⇒ b = a + 0.2205

⇒ 3.15 = a + 0.2205

⇒ a = 3.15 - 0.2205

⇒ a = $2.9295

Therefore, the cost of the jeans before tax $2.9295

f(x) = 4/5 x - 2

Find f(3)



Answer is a fraction ​

Answers

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4/5 x - 2

Let x=3

f(3) = 4/5 *3 - 2

     =12/5 -2

    =12/5 -10/5

    = 2/5

The answer would be 2/5 it’s like your minusing 2 from 4 and keeping the 5 the dominator and then u would have 2/5

Answers

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form would be y=1x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula,

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=7-5/6-4

m=1

plug in m for y intercept or "b" and choose either points to sub. for the x & y

I am going to choose the (6,7)

7=6(1)+b

7-6=6-6+b

b=1

Our "b" is equal to 1 and just add in the points to the slope formula y=mx+b

HE is 1/3 the length of HG , HE=x-3 and HG=4x-15 find HE

Answers

Answer:

x=24

Step-by-step explanation:

HE= 1/3(HG)

x-3=1/3(4x-15)

3x-9=4x-15

-x=-24

x=24

Answer:

HE=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

With the data provided, we can set up an equation. Then we need to solve the equation. Finally, we use the just-found value of x to calculate HE.

Data:

HE=1/3 HG

HE=x-3

HG=4x-15

Replacing the last two equations in the first:

x-3=1/3(4x-15)

Multiply both sides by 3:

3(x-3)=4x-15

Operate:

3x-9=4x-15

Moving x's to the left and numbers to the right:

3x-4x=-15+9

Joining like terms:

-x=-6

Multiply by -1:

x=6

Since HE= x-3:

HE=6-3

HE=3

Every week I buy four 2-litre bottles of lemonade whilst shopping at my local supermarket. Last week the bottles on the shelf were limited edition “2.5 litres for the price of 2 litres” bottles, and the supermarket also had a “buy 3 bottles, get another one free” offer.

In terms of cost per litre, by what percentage was the cost of my four bottles of lemonade lower than usual last week?

Answers

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Every week you he buys 4 number of 2 Litres bottle of lemonade.

Thus, let's say cost of each bottle is X.

This means he total cost is 4X

Now, total litres = 4 × 2 = 8 litres

Thus, cost per litre = 4X/8 = ½X

Now, we are told that Last week the bottles on the shelf were limited edition “2.5 litres for the price of 2 litres” bottles ".

This means that now, it is cheaper.

However, the supermarket also had a “buy 3 bottles, get another one free” offer.

Now since he buys 8 litres weekly, now since it's 2.5 L bottle, he will buy 3 since he will be given 1 free for every 3 he buys.

Thus, total litres he is paying for = 2.5 × 3 = 7.5 litres

Thus, cost per bottle is; 3X

Since he is getting 1 bottle free, then total bottle he gets is; 7.5 L + 2.5 L = 10L

Thus;

cost per litre is now; 3X/10

Difference in costs per litre is;

½X - 3X/10 = X/5

percentage of the cost of four bottles of lemonade lower than usual last week = (X/5)/(½X) × 100% = 2/5 × 100% = 40%

find the measures of arc FBD

Answers

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]m(\widehat{FC})[/tex] = 180° [FC is the diameter]

[tex]m(\widehat{FC})=m(\widehat{FB})+m(\widehat{BC})[/tex]

180° = 125° + [tex]m(\widehat{BC})[/tex]

[tex]m(\widehat{BC})=180-125[/tex] = 55°

[tex]m(\widehat{FBD})=360-m(\widehat{FED})[/tex]

               [tex]=360-[m(\widehat{FE})+m(\widehat{ED})][/tex]

               [tex]=360-[m(\widehat{BC})+m(\widehat{ED})][/tex] [Since [tex]m(\widehat{FE})=m(\widehat{BC})[/tex] arcs created by vertical angles]

               [tex]=360-(55+56)[/tex]

               = 249°

Therefore, Option (4) will be the answer.
