Answer 1

Answer: 1. he earns 20.93 which is 7% of the price of the printer so 7%=7/100 so
20.93=7/100 so here is a little trick
so we want to know what 100% is so
we know that 1/2 is equal to 4/8 so since they are equal, we can flip one of them and if we multiply them with each other, we will get 1/1 or 1 so 1/2 times 8/4=8/8 or 1 so

20.93/x (x=100%)
20.93/x=7/100 so
20.93/x times 100/7=1
2093/7x=1
multiply both sides by 7x
2093=7x
divide both sides by 7
299=x
the printer cost $299

2.so 290+5.5% of sales
sales=5700
5.5%=0.055
'of' can be thought of as multiply so
0.055 times 5700=313.5
290+313.5=603.5=what she made that week

3. she earns 5% and that's all she earns
5%=375
a hack is that 5 times 200=100 so
5% times 20=100% so
375 times 20=100%=$7500=amount that needs to be sell to get 375

4. so he buys 3 laps at 22.49 each and 829.99 with 4.25% or
3 times 22.49=67.47+829.99 times 4.25% or
897.46 times 4.25% or 897.46 times .0425 and get $38.1421 sales tax owed

Answer 2

Answer: 1. 20.93 is 7% of something. Divide 20.93 by 7 and you get 2.99, which is 1% of something Multiply 2.99 by 100 to get the original value, $299

2. 5.5% of 5700 is 313.5. Add that to 290 to get $603.5

3. The $375 that she earns is 5% of what she has sold. Multiply 375 by 20 to get $7500, how much she needs to sell

4. The total cost of the 3 lamps is 22.49x3, 67.47. Add that to 829.99 to get 897.46. Multiply that by 0.0425 (4.25%) to get 38.14205, or just 38.14 in sales tax

Because 2x and 40° are complementary angles.

$\therefore \: (2x) \degree + 40 \degree = 90 \degree \n \n \therefore \: (2x) \degree = 90 \degree - 40 \degree \n \n \therefore \: (2x) \degree = 50 \degree \n \n \therefore \: 2x = 50 \n \n \therefore \: x = (50)/(2) \n \n \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: x = 25}}$

Byron placed bricks in a row to make a border that was 16.9 feet long. Each brick is 1.3 feet long. How many bricks are in the border? A. 13 B. 12 C. 1.3 D. 1.2

Answers

the answer is A. 13, because 16.9/1.3= 13

If each brick is exactly 1.3 feet, diving 16.9 by 1.3 will produce the exact amount of bricks used.

16.9 ÷1.3 = 13

There are 13 bricks in the border (the answer is A.)
