A restaurant is having a deal for Valentine's day and is offering a 4-course meal for $27.00. If there is a sales tax of 8 percent, what is the actual cost of the meal?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  $29.16

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the total cost of a $27 meal after 8% tax is added.

Tax

The amount of added tax is found by multiplying the meal cost by the tax rate:

  0.08 × $27.00 = $2.16

Total

The total cost is the meal cost plus the tax:

  $27 +2.16 = $29.16 . . . . actual cost of the meal

__

Additional comment

The sum 27 + 0.08×27 can also be found by factoring out the 27:

  = 27(1 +0.08) = 27×1.08

Answers

The perimeter of the given triangle having vertices H(3,-1); I(-6,-1) and J(3,-9) is 29.04.

The points which form a triangle are:

H(3,-1) ; I(-6,-1) and J(3,-9)

Perimeter of the given triangle with vertices H(3,-1); I(-6,-1) and J(3,-9) is required:

To find the length we have to find the distance between the points.

Using distance formula i.e.

[tex]\sqrt{ [ (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 ][/tex]

Let the length of the sides be A1, A2 , A3

On applying the distance formula to H(3,-1) and I(-6,-1) ;

We get,

A1 =  [tex]\sqrt{[ (-6-3)^2 + (-1+1)^2 ][/tex]

    = [tex]\sqrt{ [ (-9)^2 + (0)^2 ][/tex]

    = [tex]\sqrt[ 81 + 0 ]}[/tex][tex]\sqrt{[ 81 + 0 ][/tex]

    = [tex]\sqrt{81}[/tex]

    = 9

On applying the distance formula to  I(-6,-1) and J(3,-9);

We get,

A2 = [tex]\sqrt{ [ (3+6)^2 + (-9+1)^2 ][/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{[ (9)^2 + (-8)^2 ][/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{[ 81 + 64 ][/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{145}[/tex]

    = 12.04

On applying the distance formula to J(3,-9) and H(3,-1);

We get,

A3 = [tex]\sqrt{[ (3-3)^2 + (-9+1)^2 ][/tex]

     =  [tex]\sqrt{[ (0)^2 + (-8)^2 ][/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{ [ 0 + 64 ][/tex]

     =[tex]\sqrt{64}[/tex]

     = 8

Hence,

The perimeter is 9 + 12.04 + 8 = 29.04

The perimeter of the triangle having vertices H(3,-1); I(-6,-1) and J(3,-9) is 29.04.

Which question love ?

Two buses are driving along parallel freeways that are 5mi apart, one heading east and the other heading west. Assuming that each bus drives a constant 55mph, find the rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart, heading toward each other.

Answers

The rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart, heading toward each other is 101.54 km per hour.

How to calculate the rate?

Let l = distance further away at which they'll meet. This will be illustrated as:

l = ✓13² - ✓5²

= ✓169 - 25

= ✓144

= 13m

Assuming that each bus drives a constant 55mph. The passes towards each other will be:

= -(55 + 55)

= -110m/h

Therefore, h² + l² = b².

Differentiate

2hdh/dt + 2ldl/dt = 2bdb/dt

= 2 × 5 × 0+ 2 × 12 (-110)

= 3 × 13db/dt

= -101.54 m/h

The rate is 101.54 m/h.

what is 30/cos40° rounded to 1 d.p.

Answers

The value of 30/cos40° rounded to 1 d.p. (decimal point) is 39.2.

How to round off any decimal number to one decimal place?

When you round to the first decimal place, or to the nearest tenth, the number in the hundredth point place will determine whether you round up or down. If the hundredths digit is a number between 5 and 9, round up to the nearest whole number. If it's a number between 0 and 4, you would "round down" by keeping the tenths place the same.

We have 30/cos40°

Value of 30/cos40° = 30/0.766044 = 39.162241 (cos40° = 0.766044)

Since the number in the hundredths place is 6, which is between 5 and 9, we would round the tenth decimal point up to 2.

Therefore, the value of 30/cos40° rounded to 1 d.p. (decimal point) is 39.2.

Given the rigth triangle, you have to determine the length of the missing side marked with an x.

To do so you have to apply the trigonometric functions, these are calculated as:

Where

θ is one of the inner angles of the triangle.

"opposite" indicates the opposite side to than angle

"adjacent" is the side in contact or next to the angle

and "hypotenuse" is the longest side of the triangle.

In this exercise we know the measure of the angle and the hypotenuse, the trigonometric function you have to use to determine the length of "x" is the Sine:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin \theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} \\ \text{opposite}=\sin \theta\cdot hypotenuse \end{gathered}[/tex]

The option that is an equivalent expression of 15x² +12x + 8 is C. 12x + 15x² + 8.

What is an equivalent expression?

Expressions that are equivalent do the same thing even when they have distinct appearances. When we enter the same values for the variable, two algebraic expressions that are equivalent have the same values.

If two systems of equations have the same solution, they are equivalents. In algebra, 2(2x - 3y + 6) is equal to 4x -6y + 12 as an example of an equivalent expression.

In this case, it should be noted that 15x² +12x + 8 is the same as 12x + 15x² + 8. Therefore, the correct option is C.

Where at transversal crosses parallel lines, all acute angles created are congruent, all obtuse angles created are congruent, and the acute angles are supplementary to the obtuse angles.

The angle marked 83° is acute. The angle marked (12x+1)° is obtuse, so these angles are supplementary:

Using proportions, it is found that your walk and jogging rates are given as follows:

Walking: 3.75 miles per hour.Jogging: 5 miles per hour.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and equations can be built to find the desired measures in the problem using basic arithmetic operations.

One example of application, in the context of this problem, is for the relation between velocity, distance and time, as velocity is distance divided by time, that is:

v = d/t.

From the graph, the walk takes 40 minutes = 2/3 of an hour, and you walk 1.25 x 2 = 2.50 miles, as you walk 1.25 miles and then you come back home, hence the rate is given as follows:

v = 2.50/(2/3) = 3 x 2.50/2 = 3.75 miles per hour.

For the jog, you jog the same distance twice in one hour, hence you jog 5 miles in one hour, and the rate is given as follows:

y₁ = - 2

y₂ = 3

m = 3 + 2 / -5 - 4

m = 5 / -9

Therefore, let's find the y-intercept using (4, -2).

-2 = - 5 / 9 (4) + b

-2 = - 20 / 9 + b

BC = a = opposite

Tan A can be calculated using SOH CAH TOA

Tan A = opposite / adjacent

Tan A = BC / AC

BC = a = 4.020

We need to find b uisng pythagoras theorem

b = 11.307

Tan A = 4.020 / 11.307

Tan A = 0.3555

A = tan ^-1 (0.3555)

A = 19.570 degrees

Convert degrees to radian

since 1 pi = 180 degrees

x pi = 19.570

Cross multiply

19.570 * 1 = x * 180

x = 19.570 / 180

x = 0.109

Therefore, tan (A) is 0.109 radians
