Convert the tax rate from a percent to a decimal number by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left.

8.8% = 0.088

Now multiply the price of the item by the tax rate:

63 x 0.088 = 5.544

Now round that to the nearest cent = $5.54

A company buys paper clips at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $3.50 p

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

46 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

First 10 boxes can be bought for $7.5*10=75$
Next 10 boxes can be bought for $5.5*10=55$

So for a total of 20 boxes, the cost is $75+55=130$

We have remaining $221-130=91$

Each additional box costs 3.5, so for 91 dollars, we can get:

$\frac{91}{3.5}=26$ boxes

So, total $10+10+26=46$ boxes can be bought for $221.00

Here is the scale model of a fountain at a museum the scale is 1:30 how many boulders are in the real fountain

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

When we do a scale model of something (like a building, a house, or whatever) al the properties of the original thing must also be in the model.

So for example, you want to do a model of a house, and in the backyard of the house there are 4 trees, then in the model of the house you also need to put 4 trees in the backyard (indifferent of the scale of the model).

Then the number of boulders in the really fountain should be the same as the number of boulders in the scale model of the fountain.

The frequency distribution below represents the rents of 250 randomly selected federally subsidized apartments in Washington D.C

Naily [24]

Answer:

92%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of apartments rented for less than $600 is given by the sum of all of the apartments in the 300 to 400, 400 to 500 and 500 to 600 intervals divided by the total number of apartments sampled (250).

$P(X$

92% of the apartments rented for less than $600.

Which sequence of transformations produces R'S'T' from RST? On a coordinate plane, triangle R S T has points (0, 0), (negative 2

arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle RST and another triangle R'S'T' tranformed from RST

Vertices of RST are (0, 0), (negative 2, 3), (negative 3, 1).

Vertices of R'S'T' are (2, 0), (0, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 1).

Comparing the corresponding vertices we find that x coordinate increased by 2 while y coordinate got the different sign.

This indicates that there is both reflection and transformation horizontally to the right by 2 units

So first shifted right by 2 units so that vertices became

(2,0) (0,3) (-1,1)

Now reflected on the line y=0 i.e. x axis

New vertices are

(2,0) (0,-3) (-1,-1)

A duck is 2 feet below the surface of a pond. If its position can be recorded as −2 feet, what would the position of 0 represent

Y_Kistochka [10]

0. Zero is zero. Moving a point 2 ft below deducts 2 from the original number(whatever it was). Moving a point 0 ft below deducts nothing so the answer is 0.
