madison paid $53.58 in sales tax on her books. the sales tax was 8.6% of the cost of the books. how much did madison's books cost before tax?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$48.98

Step-by-step explanation:

first move the decimal of your percent 2 places

8.6% = .086

then multiply by 53.58

.086 × 53 58= 4.60

subtract 4.60 from 53.58

53.58 - 4.60= 48.98

Answers

Answer:  33%

===========================================================

Explanation:

1/3 converts to the decimal form 0.333333... where the 3's go on forever

5/3 is a similar story but 5/3 = 1.666666.... where the '6's go on forever

The notation [tex]0.\overline{6}[/tex] indicates that the 6's go on forever.

So, [tex]0.\overline{6} = 0.666666\ldots[/tex]

The horizontal bar tells us which digits repeat. As another example, [tex]0.\overline{123} = 0.123123123123\ldots[/tex]

The three dots just mean "keep this pattern going forever".

----------

Everything mentioned so far has the decimal portions go on forever repeating some pattern over and over.

The only one that doesn't do this is 33% which converts to the decimal form 0.33

The value 0.33 is considered a terminating decimal since "terminate" means "stop". So this is the value that doesn't fit in with the other three items mentioned.

8. A drug and placebo were tested on 23 people each to study their effect on cholesterol. The mean cholesterol levels with the people on the new drug are 195 and SD of 35. The values for placebo sample are 245 and SD of 31. Using 5% level of significance, does the drug have effect on lowering the cholesterol.

Answers

Answer:

The drug have effect on lowering the cholesterol.

Step-by-step explanation:

H₀ : μ₁ - μ₂ = 0

⇒ H₀ : μ₁ =  μ₂

H₁ : μ₁ - μ₂ < 0

⇒H₁ : μ₁ <  μ₂

Now,

given , n₁ = 23 , n₂ = 23

∴ Degree of freedom = v = n₁ + n₂ - 2

                                         = 23 + 23 - 2 = 44

⇒v = 44

Now,

Given, level of significance = 5% = 0.05

For the given significance level, critical time t = 1.68

As

Decision rule states that'if t < 1.68 , reject H₀

Now,

For Drug:

mean = m₁ = 195

SD = d₁ = 35

People = n₁ = 23

For placebo :

mean = m₂ = 245

SD = d₂ = 31

People = n₂ = 23

Now,

Variance = [tex]\frac{(23-1)35^{2} + (23-1)31^{2} }{23 + 23 - 2}[/tex]  = 1093

Standard Deviation, S = 33.06

Point estimate = m₁ - m₂ = 195 - 245 = -50

Standard deviation error = S×([tex]\frac{1}{n_{1} } + \frac{1}{n_{2} }[/tex] ) = 9.75

Now,

Test statistics = [tex]-\frac{50}{\sqrt{9.75} } = -5.13[/tex]

⇒ t < 6.13

⇒Reject H₀

⇒The drug have effect on lowering the cholesterol.

Four friends go to dinner. Each chooses a different meal. When the check comes, they decide they will each pay the same amount. If the costs of the meals (including tax and tip) were $12.20, $11.00, $8.50, and $7.50, what should each friend pay so they cover the whole bill?​

Answers

Answer: Each friend should pay $9.80

Step-by-step explanation: First add up all their checks, then divide them by 4 (4 because there 4 friends) to get the amount each friend needs to pay.

$12.20 + $11.00 + $8.50 + $7.50= $39.20

39.30 / 4 = $9.80

hayden and jamie completed 20 math problems together, jamie completed 2 more than twice the number that hayden completed. Let p represent the number of math problems hayden completed. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of math problems that jamie completed.

Answers

Answer:

2p+2+p = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of Math problems Hayden completed.

Let 2p+2 represent the number of Math problems Jamie completed.

Next, we have to add them together so that the total Math problems they completed will be equal to 20.

Let's solve.

2p+2+p = 203p+2 = 203p = 20-23p = 18p = [tex]\frac{18}{3}[/tex]p = 6

Therefore, Hayden completed 6 Math problems.

Next, we have to get how many problems Jamie completed.

Let's solve.

2p+2 = ?2(6)+2 = ?12+2 = ?14

Therefore, Jamie completed 14 Math problems.

Let's check.

2p+2+p = 2014+6 = 2020 = 20
