Emilio paid $287.50 in taxes to the school district that he lives in this year. This year’s taxes were a 15% increase from last year. What did Emilio pay in school taxes last year? PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Let the Taxes she paid last year be 'x'
So percentage increase = 15% of x
= 15x/100

So,
this year's taxes = Last year's taxes + increment
287.50 = x + 15x/100
287.5 = 115x/100
x = 250

So, she paid $250 as taxes last year.

angle y and angle x form vertical angles. Angle y forms a straight line with the 80 degree angle and the 60 degree angle. Write and solve an equation to determine the measure of angle x

Answers

If angle y and angle x form vertical angles, then they ARE vertical angles. Vertical angles have the SAME degree measure. If angle y forms a straight line with the 80 degree angle and the 60 degree angle, this means that adding angle y, the 80 degree angle, and the 60 degree angle gives you a straight line. A line is 180 degrees. So, angle y's measure=180-(80+60). Since measure of angle x equals measure of angle y, the equation is m<x=180-(80+60).

Let's solve. m<x=180-(80+60). m<x=180-140. m<x=40 degrees.

Answer: m<x=180-(80+60); m<x=40 (degrees)

A punch recipe calls for 1/2 gallon of fruit juice 1 quart of ginger ale and one pint of lemonade. How many cups of punch will this make?

Answers

1/2 gallon =2 quarts, so add the 2 quarts and the 1 quart of ginger ale, plus the one pint of lemonade and this makes 14 cups of punch

1/2 gallon = 8 cups.
1 quart = 4 cups
1 pint = 2 cups

8+4+2 = 14 cups of punch.

Solve for y:-

78 + y = 523

y = ?

Thank you so much! :)

Answers

78 + y = 523

Now, first lets start out by applying the inverse operation to isolate the variable.

78 + y = 523
-78 -78 ⇒ Inverse operation

523 - 78 = 445

y = 445 ⇒ We have our value for y

CHECK OUR WORK:-

78 + 445 = 523
523 = 523

Our answer is correct.

To solve for y we need to use d INVERSE OPERATION of addition which is subtraction. Then we will check our work:-

Lets do it:-

78 + y = 523
523 - 78 = 445
y = 445

CHECK OUR WORK:-

78 + y = 523
y = 445
78 + 445 = 523
We were RIGHT!!

So, y = 445

Hope I helped ya!! xD

Scott makes a scale drawing of a rectangular park. He uses the scale 5 centimeters: 3 meters. The length of his drawing is 20 centimeters and the width is 15 centimeters. What is the area of the park

Answers

Answer:

The area of the park is $108\ m^(2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale drawing is $(5)/(3)(cm)/(m)$

step 1

Find the actual length of the rectangular park

Divide the length in the drawing by the scale drawing

$20/(5/3)=12\ m$

step 2

Find the actual width of the rectangular park

Divide the width in the drawing by the scale drawing

$15/(5/3)=9\ m$

step 3

Find the area of the park

$A=(12)(9)=108\ m^(2)$
