<u>Answer:</u>

The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.

Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

A set of speakers costs $22 and songs cost $1.25 each. The sales tax rate is 7.5%. The expression 0.075(22 + 1.25s) can be used
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

1.65 + 0.09s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of speaker = $22

Cost per song = $1.25

Sales tax rate = 7.5%

Expression to obtain the amount of sales tax on entire purchase : 0.075(22 + 1.25s)

Expanding the expression :

0.075(22 + 1.25s)

(0.075 * 22) + (0.075 * 1.25s)

1.65 + 0.09375s

Rounding to the nearest hundredth :

Sales tax on entire purchase :

1.65 + 0.09s

* 6. You plan to rent a car from XYZ Car Rental Company for a flat rate of $35 a day.
Anni [7]

Answer:

f(x) = \left \{ {{35x + 10, x \leq 3} \atop {35x + 5x = 40x, x>3}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of days you want to rent

The flat rate for car rental is $35 a day

As for insurance, $10 for 3 days or fewer, and $5 per day if more than 3 days that is

\left \{ {{10, x \leq 3} \atop {5x, x>3}} \right.

Combine this with the flat rental rate $35 a day and we have

f(x) = \left \{ {{35x + 10, x \leq 3} \atop {35x + 5x = 40x, x>3}} \right.
