$138.00. What is the cost of the article without
taxes?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$120

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the cost of the article pre-tax as x.

x + 0.15x = 138

1.15x = 138

x = 138/1.15

x = $120

Answer: the cost of the article without  taxes is $120.

Answer 2

The required cost of the article without  taxes is $120.

How to calculate unit price of something?

Unit means 'single entity', the fundamental constructing block. Usually, it is 1 in mathematics and science.

Thus, unit price of something is price of 1 thing.

Thus, suppose we're taking about price of mangoes, then unit price will denote the price of 1 mango.

We have been given the cost of an article including 15% for taxes is $138.00.

Lets Set the cost of the article pre-tax as x.

x + 0.15x = 138

1.15x = 138

x = 138/1.15

x = $120

Therefore, the cost of an article including 15% for taxes is $138.00. the cost of the article without  taxes is $120.

Ons​

Answers

Answer:

hfgf td utdu6kjyyyudytdcyu6   vfhdutd,ld

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The value of A, the Net Salary received by Mr. Makatle is R 5,369.49 (R8,236,00 - R 2 866,51), which is the gross pay minus total deductions.

2. The UIF contribution of R82.36 was calculated as 1% of R8236,00 (R 8,236 x 1%).

3. Mr. Makatle's claims that the cumulative medical contributions indicated on his pay advice are incorrect are valid.

The cumulative medical contributions for the year are supposed to total R 17,640 (R 1 764,00 x 10) instead of R 6,177.00, which represents the pension's cumulative contributions.

4. Mr. Makatle's monthly tax contribution as a percentage of his gross salary is 4.8865%.

Tax contribution = R 402.45

Gross monthly salary = R 8 236

Percentage of tax contribution to gross salary = 4.8865% (R402.45/R8,236 x 100)

5. For question 2, we can use the rates computed from Mr. Makate's salary advice to calculate Danielle's net pay for the year.

Danielle's Net Pay:

Basic Salary                        FR 45 600,50

PAYE                                        R 2,228.27 (4.8865%)

UIF                                               R 456.01 (1%)

Pension Fund                        R 3 420. 04 (7.5%)

Medical Aid contribution        R 9,766.72  (21.418%)

TOTAL DEDUCTIONS           R 15,871.04

NET SALARY                       R 29,729.46

What is net pay?

The net pay is the difference between a salary earner's gross income and the deductions made before the payment of salary.

The net pay represents the amount that the salary earner goes home with.

The net pay is also known as the take-home pay.

round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answers

The magnitude of angle Z include the following:

cosZ = 0.471

sinZ = 0.88

tanZ = 1.875

How to calculate the magnitude of angle Z?

In order to determine the magnitude of angle Z, we would apply the basic trigonometric ratio because the given side lengths represent the adjacent side, opposite side, and hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.

cos(θ) = Adj/Hyp

Where:

Adj represents the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle.Hyp represents the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle.θ represents the angle.

For cosZ, we would apply the cosine trigonometric ratio as follows;

cosZ = 13.6/28.9

cosZ = 0.4706

Z = cos⁻¹(0.4706)

Z = 61.93°.

For sinZ, we would apply the sine trigonometric ratio as follows;

sinZ = 25.5/28.9

sinZ = 0.8824

Z = sin⁻¹(0.8824)

Z = 118.07.

For tanZ, we would apply the sine trigonometric ratio as follows;

tanZ = 25.5/13.6

tanZ = 1.875

Z = tan⁻¹(1.875)

Z = 61.93.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2= (r+ 40 )^2$[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a meteorologist is using a Doppler radar to find out the distance of the storm as it passes using a polar grid.

The origin of the radar screen is its center.

And the distance between each ring is 10 miles from the center.

So let :

r = radius

h and k = be the coordinates of the center.

So the equation of a circle is :

[tex]$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2= r^2 $[/tex]

Now the equation of the fourth circle when the radius changes by 10 miles is :

Answer:  x < -55 or x > -49

Step-by-step explanation:

x < -55 or x > -49

They both start with an opened circle, and also these two opened circle dots do not connect to each other. On the left side, the number is going from -55 to the smaller side, -57 or less, so we can say that x is smaller than -55. On the right side, the number goes from -49 to the bigger number, we can say that x is greater than -49.

complete question

study by Allstate Insurance Co. finds that 82% of teenagers have used cell phones while driving ( The Wall Street Journal , May 5, 2010). In October 2010, Massachusetts enacted a law that forbids cell phone use by drivers under the age of 18. A policy analyst would like to determine whether the law has decreased the proportion of drivers under the age of 18 who use a cell phone.a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses to test the policy analyst’s objective.

b. Suppose a sample of 200 drivers under the age of 18 results in 150 who still use a cell phone while driving. What is the value of the test statistic? What is the p-value?c. At α = 0.05 has the law been effective?

d. Repeat this exercise using the critical value approach with α = 0.05

Answer:

1. H0: p>=0.82

H1: p<0.82

2. z test statistic = -2.5767

3. the law has been effective

4. the null is rejected, the law has been effective

Step-by-step explanation:

1. hypothesis formulation

H0: p>= 0.82

H1: p< 0.82

2. p = 82% = 0.82

estimated p^ = x/n = 150/200 = 0.75

standard error calculation:

= √0.82(1-0.82)/200

= √0.82x0.18/200

= √0.02716615

Z test statistic calculation:

= 0.75-0.82/0.02716615

= -2.5767

3. this test is 1 tailed

the p-value using a p value calculator is = 0.004983

0.004983 < 0.05 so we Reject null and conclude that the law has been effective.

4. we Reject null at 0.05 if z is less than -1.645.

-2.5767<-1.645 so we Reject H0 and conclude law has been effective and there is a decrease in drivers under this age who use cell phones
