Naty bought a dress for $24.95 and a skirt for $14.95.
The sales clerk said the total cost including 9.5% sales
tax was 49.40. Below are the steps the clerk completed.
Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90
Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40
Are the clerk's steps correct? If she is incorrect, identify
her mistake and explain her error. Explain in writing how
to accurately calculate the sales tax, total cost, and state
the correct total. (Round final answer to the nearest
hundredth)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Total items = $39.90

Sales tax amount = $3.7905

Total cost = $43.691

The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items

Step-by-step explanation:

Dress = $24.95

Skirt = $14.95

steps the clerk completed.

Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90

Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40

Correct steps:

Total items = dress + skirt

= $24.95 + $14.95

= $39.90

Sales tax = 9.5%

Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total

= 9.5/100 × $39.90

= 0.095 × 39.90

= $3.7905

Total cost = Total + sales tax amount

= $39.90 + $3.7905

= $43.6905

To the nearest hundredth

= $43.691

Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items

Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax

At the neighborhood grocery, 55 pounds of steak cost \$20.60$20.60. How much would it cost to buy 44 pounds of steak?

Answers

Answer:

$16.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the cost of 44 pounds of steak:

[tex]\frac{55}{20.60}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{44}{x}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for x:

55x = 906.4

x = 16.48

So, the cost of 44 pounds of steak is $16.48

(3,4);m=-z in point slope formula

Answers

Given:

Point = (3,4)

Slope : m = -z

To find:

The point slope formula.

Solution:

Point slope form: If a line passes through the point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and having slope m, then the point slope form of the line is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

The line passing through the point (3,4) and having slope -z.

Putting [tex]x_1=3,y_1=4, m=-z[/tex], we get

[tex]y-4=-z(x-3)[/tex]

Therefore, the required point slope form is [tex]y-4=-z(x-3)[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

(0,6)

(1,5)

(2,4)

(3,3)

(4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this table first convert the equation to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), to do this solve for y in the equation. The slope-intercept form is y=-x+6, where -1 is the slope and 6 is the y-intercept. Then from that, you can get your first point, because you know the y-intercept is 6, therefore when x equals 0 y must be 6. Next, because the slope is -1 that means the y-value decreases by 1 every time the x-value increases by 1. So to find the rest of the y-values simply subtract 1 from the previous y-value.

Divide 804 by 12 and get 67 = x

Since per one hour you drive 67 miles, multiply 67 by 8 and get 536.

So, he drives 536 miles in 5 hours

Answer: I think 402

Step-by-step explanation: I divided 804 to 4 and I got 201 then I added 201+201= 402 and each 4 hours he went 201 miles so if you add 201 and 201 you get 402 miles. Hope it helped!! :)

Luke went to a blackjack table at the casino. At the table, the dealer has just shuffled a standard deck of 52 cards.
Luke has had good luck at blackjack in the past, and he actually got three blackjacks with Queens in a row the last time he played. Because of this lucky run, Luke thinks that Queens are the luckiest card.
The dealer deals the first card to him. In a split second, he can see that it is a face card, but he is unsure if it is a Queen.
What is the probability of the card being a Queen, given that it is a face card? Answer choices are in a percentage format, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

c) 33%

Step-by-step explanation:

In a  standard deck of cards, there are 52 cards total and of those 52, there are 12 face cards. One-third of those face cards are queens, (because there are 4 queens in a deck of cards, and [tex]\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]). Therefore, there is a 33% chance that the card Luke holds is a queen.

What is the fifth term of the geometric sequence whose first three terms are 486, 162, and 54?

a. 2
b. 3
c. 4.5
d. 6
e. 9

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

an = ar^(n-1)

a = first term

n = nth term

r = common ratio

r = r2 / r1 = r3 / r2

The first 3 terms are :

486, 162, and 54

Hence,

a = 486

r = 162 / 486 = 1/3

Hence ;

a5 = 486(1/3)^5 - 1

a5 = 486(1/3)^4

a5 = 486(1 / 81)

a5 = 486 * 1 / 81

a5 = 486 / 81

a5 = 6

The 5th term of the geometric progression will be ; 6
