Answer:
Yes, the sales tax in their city is an example of regressive tax
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we need to understand what is meant by the term regressive tax.
What is meant by a regressive tax system is a system of taxation in which there is a decrease in tax rate as there is an increase in amount subjected to tax.
Now, the key to knowing if what we have in the question is a regressive taxation is by calculating the percentage of the tax that was paid.
For the Roosevelt’s , the percentage of tax paid would be 16,000/91,000 * 100% = 17.6%
For the Jasper’s, the percentage of tax paid would be 16,000/37,000 * 100% = 43.24%
We can see that at a lower amount subjected to tax, the Jasper’s paid more and thus we can conclude irrevocably that sales tax in their city is an example of a regressive tax
Solve for x using common denominators.[tex]\frac{3}{4(x+2)}=\frac{x}{(x+2)}[/tex]
[A]-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[B]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[C]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[D]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
3/(4(x+2)) = x/(x+2)
the common denominator would have to be 4(x+2).
to get the right side to this denominator, we have to multiply numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by 4.
and then we get
3/(4(x+2)) = (4x)/(4(x+2))
and now as both sides are "standing" on the same denominator, we can simply compare only the top parts.
3 = 4x
and therefore we can solve
x = 3/4
and D is then the right answer choice.
What is 3.468 rounded to the nearest tenth of an ounce?
Answer:
3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The tenths place would be 0.1
So in 3.468 the 4 is in the tenths place
Look at the number to the right of it, if it is greater than 5 you round up and if it is 4 or lower you stay the same.
For 3.468 you would round up
So you would have 3.5

How do I know which region to shade for this inequality
y ≤ 2x + -4?
Answer:
You look at the sign between y and 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
To find which way to shade, look at your symbol. The symbol you have is a less than or equal to, you shade to the left. Because it has the line underneath, you have a closed circle. (This is for line plots so I don't know if this completely helps)
Hopefully it does help though!!

The equation of line l is y=2/3x+5. The equation of line m is y=3/2x−1. What is the relationship between the two lines?
Answer:
If there is not a typo and you aren't missing a minus sign on the slopes, l and m are simmetrical relative to the line [tex]y=x+\frac{13}5[/tex]
If there is a typo nad one of the slopes is negative, they're perpendicular.
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of the slope is 1 -unless you forgot a minus sign somewhere.
In general, two lines of the form [tex]y=kx ; y= \frac1k x[/tex] are simmetrical relative to [tex]y=x[/tex]. Alas, the intercepts are different, but it's easy to spot by drawing them that they would be simmetrical to the parallel to [tex]y=x[/tex] passing through their intersection, by translation. Let's find that point
[tex]\frac23x +5 = \frac32x-1\\4x+30 =9x-6 \rightarrow 5x=36 \rightarrow x= \frac{36}5\\y=\frac 23(\frac{36}5)+5 = \frac{24}5 + \frac{25}5 = \frac{49}5[/tex] Their simmetry line - which is also their angular bisector! - is [tex]y=x+\frac{13}5[/tex]

If they work together, they need 47 minutes to dig the trench.
What is the equation?An equation is a statement that two expressions, which include variables and/or numbers, are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and efforts to systematically find solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.
It is given that, Marty can dig a 10 ft trench in 90 minutes. Chris can dig a 10 ft trench in 110 minutes.
Marty can dig a 10 ft trench in 90 minutes, and in one minute
10 ft = 90
1 ft = 90/10
1ft = 9 minuted
If Chris can dig a 10 ft trench in 110 minutes, and in one minute
10 ft = 100 minute
1 ft = 100/10
1 ft = 10 minute
If they worked together x minute needed to dig 1 ft,
1/x =1/9+1/10
1/x=1/9+1/10
1=19/90 x
90x=19
x=90/19
x=4.7 minute
For 10 feet,
x = 47 minute
Thus, if they work together, they need 47 minutes to dig the trench.

the quotient of a number and 12 - 3 is -4
Answer:
-36
Step-by-step explanation:
12 - 3 = 9, so if the quotient of a number (let's call it x) and 9 is -4, we can create the following equation:
x ÷ 9 = -4
So, if we multiply both sides by 9, we get:
x = 9 * -4 which is -36.
Angie and her friends are heading to the Glacier Heights snow park. They plan to purchase the Glacier group package, which costs $76 for 8 people. That's $2 less per person than the normal cost for an individual. What is the normal cost for an individual?
Answer
The normal cost would be $11.50
Number Explanation
1) 76 ÷ 8 = 9.5
2) 9.5 + 2 = 11.5 or 11.50
Word Explanation
First, I divided the total cost 76 by the number of people 8, to find out how much it costs per person. I got 9.5! Next, I added 2 to 9.5 because in the problem it said this is $2 less than the normal cost per person. I got 11.5! That was my answer.
Tom walks 3.14 km to the park. He then walks a further 670 m to the shop.
How many km has Tom walked in total?
Answer:
3.81 km
Step-by-step explanation:
You first have to get the meters into kilometers. The conversion rate for this is 1 meter = 0.001 kilometer.
So multiply 670 by 0.001 which gives you 0.67.
Then add this to the amount he has already walked to get the total amount of kilometers he has walked.
