Answer: Total cost incurred on new laptop is $318.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost price of new laptop = $300

Sales tax = 6%

total cost of laptop including the sales tax is given by

Cost\times \frac{100+\text{ sales tax}}{100}

so,

\text{ Cost price including the sales tax }\\\\=300\times \frac{100+6}{100}\\\\=300\times \frac{106}{100}\\\\=\$318

So, total cost incurred on new laptop is $318.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

  45 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is given by ...

  A = (1/2)bh

where b is the base, 2 cm + 3 cm = 5 cm, and h is the height, 6 cm.

  A = (1/2)(5 cm)(6 cm) = 15 cm^2

__

The area of the rectangle is given by ...

  A = bh

where b is the base, 12 cm, and h is the height, 2.5 cm.

  A = (12 cm)(2.5 cm) = 30 cm^2

__

The area of the whole figure is the area of the triangle added to the area of the rectangle:

  drawing area = 15 cm^2 + 30 cm^2 = 45 cm^2

Why would someone choose to use a graphing calculator to solve a system of linear equations instead of graphing by hand? Explain
anygoal [31]
In addition, from the response shown, using a graphical calculator brings the following benefits:
 1) You can write the system of linear equations as big as you want. This is: systems 3 * 3, 4 * 4, 5 * 5.
 2) The response to systems of equations greater than 2 * 2 can be complicated when you graph the solution, therefore, the graphing calculator can be much more efficient in these cases.
 3) You can write the linear equations in any way. Resolving by hand you should probably rewrite the system of equations to find the solution.
