Five friends ate lunch together. They each paid the same amount the total cost of all five meals was $51.94 which included a 6% sales tax, what was the cost of one meal before tax was added?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of friends = 5

Total cost of all five meals = $51.94

Sales tax = 6%

To find:

The cost of one meal before tax was added.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of all five meals before tax.

Then, Amount of tax = 6% of x

According to he question,

[tex]x+\dfrac{6}{100}x=51.94[/tex]

[tex]x+0.06x=51.94[/tex]

[tex]1.06x=51.94[/tex]

Divide both sides by 51.94.

[tex]x=\dfrac{51.94}{1.06}[/tex]

[tex]x=49[/tex]

So, the cost of all five meals before tax is $49.

Divide this cost by 5 to get the cost of one meal before tax was added.

[tex]\dfrac{49}{5}=9.8[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of one meal before tax was added, is $9.8.

Tell a folk story about the history of irrational numbers. Research what is known about irrational numbers, their development, and why they are important.

Answers

Answer:

The history of irrational numbers, The discovery of irrational numbers is usually attributed to Pythagoras, more specifically to the Pythagorean Hippasus of Metapontum, who produced a (most likely geometrical) proof of the irrationality of the square root of 2. The story goes that Hippasus discovered irrational numbers when trying to represent the square root of 2 as a fraction. However Pythagoras believed in the absoluteness of numbers, and could not accept the existence of irrational numbers. He could not disprove their existence through logic, but his beliefs would not accept the existence of irrational numbers and so he sentenced Hippasus to death by drowning. Irrational numbers are important because without it we wouldn't have the continuum of real numbers which would make geometry impossible to do in life.

Solve the following equation for x.
5/8x +4 = 3/8x +12

Answers

Answer:

x=32

Step-by-step explanation:

8(5/8x+4 = 3/8x+12)

5x+32=3x+96

2x+32=96

2x=64

x=32

Answer:

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8x + 4 = 3/8x + 12

subtract 3/8 from both sides

2/8x + 4 = 12

simplify

1/4x + 4 = 12

subtract 4 from both sides

1/4x = 8

multiply each side by the reciprocal of 1/4

4/1 • 1/4x = 8 • 4/1

solve

x = 32

Brooke needs a new computer. On Friday, the computer was $200.00. On Saturday, the price of the computer was $149.00. Determine if there was a markup or markdown and by what percent.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

price of the computer on Friday = $200

price of the computer on Saturday = $149

Difference in price = 200 - 149 = $51

Since the price reduces in price by $51, hence there was a markup in price.

% markup = difference in price/original price * 100%

% mark up = 51/200*100%

% markup = 51/2

% markup = 25.5%

Hence the markup was a 25.5% change

Answers

Answer:

angle 1 =135

Step-by-step explanation:

it is 180 degrees total. We know that there are two angles that have a ratio to 3:1. So, assign x to 2. Since 1 = 3x, we do 3x+x =180

4x=180

x=45 or angle 2

180-45=135 or angle 1

Multiply angle 2 by 3 to check if its correct

Answer:

the measurement of angle 1 is 135 degrees. (i think)

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that angle 1 and 2 are at a 3:1 ratio

and that 1 and 2 add to 180 degrees

if you plug the number 45 in to angle 1, then multiply that by 3 you get 135

the remaining number to add to 180 would be angle 2

which is 45 degrees.

If the explanation is choppy or hard to read, apologies, its fairly hard for me to explain this.

What is a fraction?

A fraction is written in the form of p/q, where q ≠ 0.

Fractions are of two types they are proper fractions in which the numerator is smaller than the denominator and improper fractions where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Let, The numerator of a fraction represents the number of games lost and the denominator represents the total number of games played.

Therefore, The fractions that represent this context for all the teams are,

1/3, 1/9, 1/4 and 1/10.

We know the value of a fraction increase with the same numerator and smaller and smaller denominator.

So, The fraction 1/10 has the least value which indicates that it is the best performer.

identify the equation in the point-slope form the line parallel to y=3/4x-4 that passes through (-1,7)

Answers

y = 3/4x -4
The slope is 3/4 since it is written in the form y =mx+b where m is the slope
We want a line that is parallel so it will have the same slope
We know the slope of the new line (3/4) and a point (-1,7)
So we can use the point slope form of the equation
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-7 = 3/4(x--1)
y-7=3/4(x+1)

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (-1, -4) and is parallel to the line 6x+7y=13 . Write the equation in​ slope-intercept form, if possible.

Answers

Answer:  [tex]y=-\dfrac67x-\dfrac{34}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+c   (i) , of linear equations,  m= slope and c= y-intercept of the line.

6x+7y=13in slope intercept form would be :

[tex]7y=13-6x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{-6}{7}x+\dfrac{13}{7}[/tex]

Comparing to (i) , [tex]m = \dfrac{-6}{7}[/tex]

Slope of parallel lines are equal.

So, slope of required line = [tex]m = \dfrac{-6}{7}[/tex]

Equation of line with slope m and passes through point : [tex](y-b)=m(x-a)[/tex]

So, equation of required line:

[tex](y-(-4))=\dfrac{-6}{7}(x-(-1))\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y+4)=\dfrac{-6}{7}(x+1)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+4=\dfrac{-6}{7}x-\dfrac{6}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-\dfrac67x-\dfrac{6}{7}-4\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-\dfrac67x-\dfrac{34}{7}[/tex]
