We can calculate the percent of the price that is excise tax by dividing the amount of tax per gallon by the final price of the gallon.
If the tax is 0.16 per gallon and the final price is 1.25 per gallon, the percentage can be calculated as:
[tex]p=\frac{0.16}{1.25}\cdot100\text{ \%}=0.128\cdot100\text{ \%}=12.8\text{ \%}[/tex]The percentage that is city excise tax is 12.8% of the final price of the gasoline.

One day while Alvin was on the river, he received a call telling him he needs to turn around and come home. So he turned around and went back to his starting point. If his entire trip took 12 hours, how far did he travel on the river? Alvin traveled miles. (Roundtrip) Question Help: Message instructor Submit Question
Given Data:
The upstream speed is, 25 miles/hr.
The downstream speed is, 35 miles/hr.
The total time is, 12 hr.
Let d be the distance traveled. He can travel 25 miles/ hr in upstream, so the time taken will be,
[tex]t=\frac{d}{25}[/tex]He can travel 35 miles/ hr in upstream, so the time taken will be,
[tex]t^{\prime}=\frac{d}{35}[/tex]Total time is, 12 hr. So we have,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 12=\frac{d}{25}+\frac{d}{35} \\ 12=\frac{d}{5\times5}+\frac{d}{7\times5} \\ 12=\frac{1}{5}(\frac{d}{7}+\frac{d}{5}) \\ 12\times5=\frac{d}{7}+\frac{d}{5} \\ 60\times35=5d+7d \\ 2100=12d \\ d=\frac{2100}{12}=175 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the total distance is, 350 mile

We will determine the height of the building as follows:
First, we determine the height above her window, that is:
[tex]\tan (56)=\frac{h_u}{150ft}\Rightarrow h_u=(150ft)\tan (56)[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow h_u=222.3841453\ldots ft[/tex]Now, we calculate the height below her window:
[tex]\tan (32)=\frac{h_l}{150ft}\Rightarrow h_l=(150ft)\tan (32)[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow h_l=93.73040279\ldots ft[/tex]Then, we will have that:
[tex]h_T=h_l+h_l\Rightarrow h_T=150(\tan (56)+\tan (32))[/tex][tex]\Rightarrow h_T=316.1145581\ldots ft\Rightarrow h_T\approx316.1ft[/tex]So, the height of the building is approximately 316.1 ft tall.

The country of Scotstats requires the people in their country to have license tags on their car such that the first 3 characters are English letters but no letter may repeat. The last 3 characters must each be a number 0-9 and again no numbers can be repeated. How many license tags are possible?
Answer
11,232,000 possible license tags.
Explanation
The licenses have space for 6 characters.
We need to note that there are 26 alphabets and 10 numbers to pick from.
So, for the first character, any of the 26 alphabets can take this spot.
For the second character, 25 alphabets are now available for that space. (Since repetition is not allowed)
For the third character, 24 alphabets are available for that.
For the fourth character, any of the 10 numbers can take up that spot.
For the fifth character, only 9 numbers can take this spot now. (No repetition rule too)
For the sixth character, 8 numbers can take that spot.
So, mathematically, the number of license tags possible will be
26 × 25 × 24 × 10 × 9 × 8 = 11,232,000 possible license tags
Hope this Helps!!!
Evaluating functions I don’t understand this one and I can’t find it no where else
The function given is
[tex]f(x)=4x[/tex]We are to find the inverse of the function
let f(x) =y
[tex]y=4x[/tex]Then, we make x the subject of the formula from here
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x \\ x=\frac{y}{4} \\ x=\frac{1}{4}y \end{gathered}[/tex]Then The inverse of the function becomes
[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{4}x[/tex]Therefore the fourth option is correct
i invest $250 in a simple account that earns 10% annually. After 6 years, how much money have i earned? Hint round to the nearest cent.
We have to use the simple interest formula
[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]Where P = 250; r = 0.10 (10%); t = 6. Replacing these values, we have
[tex]A=250(1+0.10\cdot6)=250(1+0.6)=250(1.6)=400[/tex]Hence, after 6 years, you have $400.
If we subtract this amount from the investment, we get the profits.
[tex]400-250=150[/tex]Hence, the earnings are $150.Tori is writing an essay for her English class. She already has 235 words, andon average writes 175 words every hour. The essay needs to be at least 1,600words. How many more hours should she plan to work on it? Write and solvean inequality for the situation.
Let be "h" the number of hours Tori should plan to work on it.
You know that she writes an average of 175 per hour. This can be represented with this expresion:
[tex]175h[/tex]You also know that there must be at least 1,600 words in the essay for her English class. Since she has 235 words written, you can set up the following inequality:
[tex]235+175h\ge1,600[/tex]The symbol used in the inequality means "Greater than or equal to".
In order to solve it, you can follow these steps:
1. Subtract 235 from both sides of the inequality:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 235+175h-(235)\ge1,600-(235) \\ 175h\ge1,365 \end{gathered}[/tex]2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 175:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{175h}{175}\ge\frac{1,365}{175} \\ \\ h\ge7.8 \end{gathered}[/tex]The answer is:

Help I need a example for graphing two variable inequalities
Solution:
To graph, a linear inequality in two variables (say, x and y ), first get y alone on one side. Then consider the related equation obtained by changing the inequality sign to an equals sign. The graph of this equation is a line.
If the inequality is strict ( < or > ), graph a dashed line. If the inequality is not strict ( ≤ and ≥ ), graph a solid line.
For example,
Consider the linear inequality in two variables below
[tex]y\leq4x-8[/tex]Step 1:
Put x=0 and find y
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x-8 \\ y=4(0)-8 \\ y=0-8 \\ y=-8 \\ (0,-8) \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2:
Put y=0 and find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=4x-8 \\ 0=4x-8 \\ 4x=8 \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{8}{4} \\ x=2 \\ (2,0) \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
We are going to use the coordinates below to graph the inequality using a solid line because
The inequality sign used is greater than or equal to
[tex](0,-8),(2,0)[/tex]Hence,
The graph of the inequality will be

Tyrone randomly interviewed 55 8th graders at the Westwood Mall Saturday afternoon to determine their reason for going to the mall.
Based on the results he made the following claim.
"Two out of four middle school students visit the mall to go shopping".
Let us analyze each of the given options.
a. Tyrone only interviewed students in the food court.
There is no evidence that suggests the interview was conducted at the food court so this is not the correct answer.
b. Tyrone did not survey enough 8th graders to draw a valid conclusion
He interviewed 55 8th graders which are more than enough students so this is not misleading.
c. Tyrone did not use a random sample of 8th graders
It is given in the question that he used a random sample so this is not misleading.
d. Since Tyrone surveyed only 8th graders, his sample is not representative of all middle school students.
If you notice closely, Tyrone interviewed only 8th graders whereas the claim was about all middle school students.
So this is clearly misleading, 8th graders do not represent all middle school students.
Therefore, option d is correct.

Answer:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a)20m^2 \\ b)\text{ 20 bags of colored stones} \\ c)\text{ \$499.8} \end{gathered}[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:
Since the square fountain measures 4 meters on each side and the walkway will be one meter wide, let's make a diagram to see the situation:
Then, to calculate the area of the walkway (green shaded region)
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{total}=b\cdot h \\ A_{total}=6\cdot6=36m^2 \\ A_{founta\in}=4\cdot4=16m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} A_{walkway}=A_{total}-A_{fountain} \\ A_{walkway}=36-16=20m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, how many colored stones will be needed if one bag covers 1 square meter:

According to the second inequality, y is greater than or equal to -2, which means that the graph will have a solid line, the first step is to pick solid choice.
The boundary line is y=2, we know this by replacing the inequality sign by an equal sign. Two points one this line are (-1,2) and (2,2). We know it because it is an horizontal line that represents a constant function, it means that all the values of y will be 2 (boundary line).
As the equal sign is greater than or equal to, the region that must be shaded is the one above the boundary line.

is it a function? X (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2 ) Y (-7, -2, 1, -2, -7 )
To be a function, it is nesessary that the values of x correspond to a unique value of y (a value of x cannot correspond to 2 different values of y). The same value of y can correspond to two or more values of x
As in the given data each value of x has just one value of y. Then, it is a function.
Suppose that the balance of a person’s bank account in US is normally distributed with mean $580 and standard deviation $125. Find the amount of money which would guarantee a person has more money in their account than 80% of US residents.I want an answer and explanation.
Answer:
[tex]\text{ \$685.25}[/tex]Explanation:
Here, we want to get the amount of money that would guarantee that a person has more money than 80%
That means the probability is greater than 80% or 0.8
Thus, we need to get the z-score that corresponds to this probability
Using a z-score table, we can get this as follows:
[tex]P(x\text{ }>\text{z\rparen= 0.842}[/tex]We will now get the value from the obtained z-score
Mathematically:
[tex]\begin{gathered} z\text{ = }\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\ \\ \text{ x is the value we want to calculate} \\ \mu\text{ is the mean} \\ \sigma\text{ is the standard deviation} \end{gathered}[/tex]Substituting the values, we have it that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.842\text{ = }\frac{x-580}{125} \\ \\ \text{ x = 580 + 125\lparen0.842\rparen} \\ x\text{ = \$685.25} \end{gathered}[/tex]
