The answer is $41.12
(Work is below)

First add the total of the vase and shipping-
Vase: $34.99
Shipping: $ 3.00
+__________
$37.99

Then calculate sales tax by multiplying $37.99 x 0.0825 -
Above Total: $37.99
Sales Tax Rate: $ 0.0825
x__________
$ 3.1341
You round down because ^ less than five (five or above you would round up)

Sales Tax: $3.13

Then you add the sales tax to the above total

Vase: $37.99
Shipping: $ 3.13
+__________
$41.12

Graph the line y = kx +1 if it is known that the point M belongs to it: M(1,3)

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$M(x,y) = (1,3)$ belongs to the line $y = 2\cdot x +1$ . Please see attachment below to know the graph of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Analytical Geometry we know that a line is represented by this formula:

$y=k\cdot x + b$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$k$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$b$ - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If we know that $b = 1$ , $x = 1$ and $y = 3$ , then we clear slope and solve the resulting expression:

$k = \frac{y-b}{x}$

$k = \frac{3-1}{1}$

$k = 2$

Then, we conclude that point $M(x,y) = (1,3)$ belongs to the line $y = 2\cdot x +1$ , whose graph is presented below.

There are 53 students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams. The number of 8th graders is 15 fewer than three times the

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The number of 7th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams is 17 and the number of 8th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of 7th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams

y ----> the number of 8th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams

we know that

There are 53 students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams

so

$x+y=53$ -----> equation A

The number of 8th graders is 15 fewer than three times the number of 7th graders

so

$y=3x-15$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$x+(3x-15)=53$

solve for x

$x+3x=53+15\\4x=68\\x=17$

Find the value of y

$y=3(17)-15=36$

therefore

The number of 7th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams is 17 and the number of 8th students on the Jackson Middle School basketball teams is 36

Estimate how many 12 inch rulers will be about the same length as a bike

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

So that means length of the bike is approx 5.7 rulers.

Step-by-step explanation:

the question says to estimate how many 12-inch rulers will be about the same length as a bike. In other words we have to measure the length of bike by in terms of ruler like 3 ruler length or 5 rular length etc.

Type of bike is not mentioned so i'm going to use bicyle.

From internet I found that approx lenght of a bike ( bicycle) is = 68 inches.

Given that 1 ruler = 12 inches

So number of rulers that can fit into 68 inches can be found by dividing 68 by 12

68/12 = 5.7

Which is the simplified form of x Superscript negative 12?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

C. $\frac{1}{x^{12}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an expression

$(x)^{-12}$

We have to find the simplified form of given expression.

We know that

$a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}$

Using the property then we get

$x^{-12}=\frac{1}{x^{12}}$

Hence, the simplified form of $x^{-12}$ is given by

$\frac{1}{x^{12}}$

Option C is true.

An entry level web developer's annual pay is $55,640 based on 52 weeks per year. Due to the economy, his company is having to cu

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$Reduction = \$3300$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Pay\ for\ 52\ weeks = \$55,640$

Required

Determine the reduction when paid is reduced to 49 weeks

First, we need to determine the weekly pay

$Weekly\ Pay = \frac{\$55,640}{52}$

$Weekly\ Pay = \$1070$

Next, is to determine the pay for 49 weeks;

$Pay = Weekly\ Pay * 49$

$Pay = \$1070 * 49$

$Pay = \$52430$

Subtract the 49 week pay from 52 weeks pay to get the payment reduction;

$Reduction = \$55640 - \$52340$

$Reduction = \$3300$
