Hmm... well, here ya go.

1.50 ÷ 0.05 = 30
So, the total is $30
As for the tax rate, including the total, it would be $31.50.

Hope I helped.

1.50\0.05=30
plus tax equals $31.50

Answer:

He can make 6 groups

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem first you need to find the GCF or greatest common factor. Now you can put 5 chocolate chip cookies in each group, 3 peanut butter, and 4 sugar cookies. These are all relatively prime so that would be your final answer.

Prove algebraically that the recurring decimal 0.472 can be written as<br> 17<br> 36

Katen [24]

Given:

The recurring decimal is $0.47\overline{2}$ .

To prove:

Algebraically that the recurring decimal $0.47\overline{2}$ can be written as $\dfrac{17}{36}$ .

Proof:

Let,

$x=0.47\overline{2}$

$x=0.472222...$

Multiply both sides by 100.

$100x=47.2222...$ ...(i)

Multiply both sides by 10.

$1000x=472.2222...$ ...(ii)

Subtract (i) from (ii).

$1000x-100x=472.2222...-47.2222...$

$900x=425$

Divide both sides by 900.

$x=\dfrac{425}{900}$

$x=\dfrac{17}{36}$

So, $0.47\overline{2}=\dfrac{17}{36}$ .

Hence proved.

A scale model of a car is 9 inches long. the scale is 1:18. How many inches long is the car it represents?

Rom4ik [11]

1 inch of the model - 18 inches of the car
9 inches of the model - x inches of the car

$\frac{1}{18}=\frac{9}{x} \\ 
x=9 \times 18 \\
x=162$

The car is 162 inches long.

When expressing sets, you may write "inf" for infinity and "U" for union.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The complement of the given set in interval notation is $(-\infty,-5]\cup(6,\infty)$ . It can we written as (-inf,5]U(6,inf).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given set in interval notation is

(−5,6]

It means the set is defined as

$A=\{x|x\in R,-5$

If B is a set and U is a universal set, then complement of set B contains the elements of universal set but not the elements of set B.

Here, universal set is R, the set set of all real numbers.

$U=\{x|x\in R\}$

The complement of the given set is

$A^c=U-A$

$A^c=\{x|x\in R,-\infty$

Complement of the given set in interval notation is

$A^c=(-\infty,-5]\cup(6,\infty)$

Therefore the complement of the given set in interval notation is $(-\infty,-5]\cup(6,\infty)$ . It can we written as (-inf,5]U(6,inf).
