Answer:

She will have to pay $9 as sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount with Kim = $250

Bathing suit = $35

Two pairs of shoes = 2 × $15

= $30

Five shirts = 5 × $17

= $85

Cost of items = Bathing suit + Two pairs of shoes + Five shirts

= $35 + $30 + $85

= $150

Sales tax = 6%

Amount of sales tax paid = 6% of $150

= 6/100 × 150

= 0.06 × 150

= $9

Kim will have to pay $9 as sales tax

Total cost of the items = cost of items + sales tax

= $150 + $9

= $159

Kim has enough money to buy all the items she likes

Adrian Beltre hit 48 home runs during the 2004 Major League Baseball season, but only hit 19 home runs in the 2005 season. By wh
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

60.42%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of home runs hit by Adrian Beltre in 2004 = 48

Number of home runs hit by Adrian Beltre in 2005 = 19

To find:

Percentage decrease in home run production from 2004 to 2005.

Solution:

To find the percentage decrease, first of all we need to find the decrease in the number of home runs and then we will divide with the number of home runs in 2004 and then finally will multiply the result with 100 to get the percentage decrease.

Decrease in the number of home runs = Number of home runs in 2004 - Number of home runs in 2005 = 48 - 19 = 29

\text{Percentage of decrease in Home runs} = \dfrac{\text{Decrease in home runs}}{\text{Number of home runs in 2004}}\times 100\\\Rightarrow \text{Percentage of decrease in Home runs} = \dfrac{29}{48}\times 100 \approx \bold{60.42\%}

Therefore, by 60.42% Beltre's home run production has decreased from 2004 to 2005.

Dafna1 [17]
There are a total of 297 students in the 7th grade. Rough estimates would say that about half of that number are boys and half are girls. Asking only 50 random girls would be biased because not only would it not be all of the girls (the number of girls would be around 148 or 149) but it would also be ignoring the roughly 148 to 149 boys there are on estimate. The sample would be biased because it would be ignoring the opinions of more than half the seventh grade.

The solutions to a quadratic equation are x = 2 and x = 7. If k is a nonzero constant, which of the following must be equal to t
Serggg [28]
ANSWER


The correct option is,
k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0

EXPLANATION

We were given that the solutions of the quadratic equation are
x = 2
and
x = 7.

This tells us that,

x - 2

and
x - 7

are factors of the quadratic equation.



This implies that the quadratic equation is of the form,

(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0

We were also told that

k


is a non zero constant.



This means that we can use k to multiply the whole equation and the solution will not be affected.


Our equation now becomes,

k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0


Hence the correct answer is A.
