First you need to find the amount for each of the items, then total it up:

T-shirts> 9.50 x 2 = 19
Socks> 7.95 x 3 = 23.85
Shoes> 49.95
Total: 19 + 23.85 + 49.95 = $92.80

Next find the tax:

(to find the taxes you multiply the total by the percent)
92.8 x 0.06 = 5.57
-- then add the amount to your item total
92.8 + 5.57 = 98.37

~OR~

You could multiply the item total by 1.06 so that you wouldn't have to add to taxes to the previous total because it is already part of the equation

92.8 x 1.06 = 98.37

A matrix contains 60 elements. Which of the following cannot equal the number of rows of the matrix?

avanturin [10]

Given:

Matrix = 60 elements

To solve this, we need to take into account that each row must contain the same number of elements. So, we need to find which of the options do not divide evenly into 60 (the options are 30, 60, 10, and 18).

So we check each of the choices to see if 1 of them divides evenly with 60.

60 / 60 = 1 (divides evenly)

60 / 30 = 2 (divides evenly)

60 / 10 = 6 (divides evenly)
60 / 18 = 3.3.3333333333333333333333333333333 (does not divide evenly)

Therefore, 18 cannot equal the number of rows of the matrix.

Linda Gramham's Cinnamon Sugar Graham Cupcake recipe for 36 cupcakes requires 1 1/4 cups of sugar. How much sugar is required fo

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

31.25 or 31 1/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/4 = 36

x = 900

=> 5/4 = 36

x = 900

Cross multiply

=> 5/4 * 900 = 36 * x

=> 4500/4 = 36x

=> 1125 = 36x

=> 1125 / 36 = 36x / 36

=> 31.25 = x

31.25 = 31 1/4

So, 31.25 or 31 1/4 cups are required for 900 cupcakes.

Ria can paint a room in 4 hours. Destiny can paint the same room in 6 hours. How long would it take Ria and Destiny to paint the

Lerok [7]

Time taken by Ria to paint a room = 4 hours

Time taken by Destiny to paint a room = 6 hours

If they work together, they complete 1 job. So,

$\frac{1x}{4}+\frac{1x}{6}=1$

The LCD of 4 and 6 is 12

$\frac{3x+2x}{12}=1$

$\frac{5x}{12}=1$

$5x=12$

$x=\frac{12}{5}$

Hence, both of them can paint the room in $\frac{12}{5}$ hours or 2.4 hours.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1) A is a cat; B is a dog; C is a cat; D is a dog; E is a dog; F is a cat

2) A lives with B in a yellow house; C lives with D in a blue house; E lives with F in a red house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: First we identify the animals as cats or dogs

A is a cat

B is a Dog

Since B can live with C, C is a cat

Since D can live with A, D is a dog

F is a cat since it can live with D

E is therefore, a dog

Step 2: We then identify the house each two animals live in pairs of a cat and a dog

D lives in a blue house

A lives in a yellow house since it does not live with D or in a red house

C lives with D in a blue house since D does not live with either A or F

E lives in a red house since it does not live with A or in a yellow house

F lives with E in a red house since E does not live with A

Therefore, B lives with A in a yellow house
