divide the total tax by the rate

8.75% = 0.0875

4.59/.0875 = 52.457 round to 52.46

Using the midpoint method, find the cross-price elasticity of demand for FedEx and UPS overnight shipping if the price of FedEx
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Cross price elasticity using midpoint method = 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the mid-point method

Cross-price Elasticity of Demand = <u>% change in Quantity demanded of UPS</u>

                                                          % change of price of FedEx

%change in Quantity demanded of UPS

using Mid-point method                          = <u> Q2-Q1           </u>  × 100

                                                                     (Q1+Q2)÷ 2

                                      = <u>1.3-1.2           </u>   × 100

                                        (1.2+1.3)÷2

                                     = <u>0.1      </u> × 100

                                       1.25

                                     = 8%

% change in price of FedEx

using midpoint method    =<u> P2-P1            </u>× 100

                                             (P1+P2)÷ 2

                                          =<u> 75-65           </u>× 100

                                            (65+75)÷2

                                          =<u> 10  </u>   × 100

                                             70

                                          = 14.28%

Cross-price Elasticity of Demand =  8% ÷ 14.28%

using midpoint method                = 0.56

when a plane flies with the wind, it can travel 1980 miles in 4.5 hours. when the plane flies in the opposite direction, against
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Velocity with wind = 1,980 / 4.5 = 440 mph
Velocity against wind =1,980 / 5.5 = 360 mph
Plane in still air - wind speed = 360
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Adding both equations:
2*Plane in still air = 800
Plane in still air = 400 mph
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Therefore, wind speed = 40 mph

A sailor is looking at a kite. If he is looking at the kite at an angle of elevation of 36and the distance from the boat to the
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Height of the kite from the ground is 29.2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

For better explanation of the solution, see the figure attached :

The angle formed by the height of kite to that of the surface of the ground is right angle.

⇒ m∠ABC = 90°

Let angle of elevation be θ

Now, to find height of the kite : find length of AB

In right angled triangle ABC , using tan rule, we have\tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\tan36^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{BC}\\\\\implies \tan36^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{40}\\\\\implies AB=0.73\times 40\\\\\bf\implies AB=29.2\thinspace{ feet}

Hence, Height of the kite from the ground is 29.2 feet.

Please help me answer this ASAP! The two-way table shows the number of ninth and tenth graders who prefer going to sporting even
Elis [28]
<h2>Answer</h2>

0.43

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Remember that RelativeFrecuency=\frac{Frecuency}{SumOfAllFrecuencies}

Since the problem is telling us "Among tenth graders", we must focus on the 10th graders row only. From the row, we can infer that the frequency is the number of 10th graders who prefer going to sporting events, so Frecuency=6. Now, the sum of all frequencies will be the sum of all the 10th graders, so SumOfAllFrecuencies=6+8=14. Let's replace the values:

RelativeFrecuency=\frac{Frecuency}{SumOfAllFrecuencies}

RelativeFrecuency=\frac{6}{14}

RelativeFrecuency=0.4285

And rounded to the nearest hundredth:

RelativeFrecuency=0.43
