If you are asking for what the tax is then you take x over 140.88 and 7 over 100 and you cross multiply to get 100x and 986.16 then you divide 100x and 986.16 both by 100 so you get x = 9.8616 but sense .0016 are not cents you round that and get $9.86 as your Tax price and the total amount you would end up paying would be 9.86 + 140.88 which is 150.74 so you would end up paying $150.74 all together but the Tax of 7% is 9.86 for this problem Hope this helped

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

a. \frac{- 42,500}{(v + 60)(v - 40)}

Step-by-step Explanation:

Given:

Distance Ottawa to Québec = 425 km

Initial flight rate = v + 60

Return flight rate = v - 40

t = \frac{d}{r}

Required:

Flight times difference of the initial and return flights

Solution:

=>Flight time of the initial flight:

t = \frac{d}{r}

t = \frac{425}{v + 60}

=>Flight time of the return flight:

t = \frac{425}{v - 40}

=>Difference in flight times:

\frac{425}{v + 60} - \frac{425}{v - 40}

\frac{425(v - 40) -425(v + 60)}{(v + 60)(v - 40)}

\frac{425(v) - 425(40) -425(v) -425(+60)}{(v + 60)(v - 40)}

\frac{425v - 17000 -425v - 25500}{(v + 60)(v - 40)}

\frac{425v - 425v - 17000 - 25500}{(v + 60)(v - 40)}

\frac{- 42,500}{(v + 60)(v - 40)}

The triangular prism shown has triangular _____face(s) and lateral face(s).
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The triangular prism shown has 2 triangular face(s) and 3 lateral face(s).

The area of one triangular face is 7.5 mm²

The surface area of the triangular prism is 135 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular face of the prism is the face that has a three sided figure while the lateral faces are faces with four-sided figure. As seen from the triangular prism, it has 2 triangular faces since it is made up of 2 right angled triangles and has 3 lateral faces since it is made up of 3 rectangles which are 4 sided each.

Area of one triangular face = \frac{1}{2} * base * height

Given base = 2.5 mm and height = 6 mm

Area of one triangular face = \frac{1}{2} *2.5 * 6\\

= 3*2.5\\= 7.5mm^{2}

Surface area of triangular prism = bh + pH

b= base of the triangle  = 2.5 mm

h- height of the triangle  = 6 mm

p= perimeter of the triangle  = base + height + slant height = 2.5+6+6.5

p = 15 mm

H= height of the prism = 8mm

Surface area of triangular prism = 2.5(6)+15(8)

Surface area of triangular prism = 15 + 120

Surface area of triangular prism = 135mm²
