I received $385 back from the government, which represented the 17.5% purchase tax on a piece of equipment. How much did I pay for this equipment in the first place?

Answer:

[tex]the \: equipment \: price \: is : 2,200.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]let \: the \: original \: price \: be \: x \\ then \: 17.5\% \: of \: x = 385 \\ \frac{17.5}{100} \times x = 385 \\ 17.5x = 100 \times 385 \\ x = \frac{38500}{17.5} \\ x = 2,200.[/tex]

The 40-ft-long A-36 steel rails on a train track are laid with a small gap between them to allow for thermal expansion. Determine the required gap d so that the rails just touch one another when the temperature is increased from T1=-20F to T2=90F. Using this gap, what would be the axial force in the rails if the temperature rises to T3=110F? The cross-sectional area of each rail is 5.10 in2

Read the passage. Which statement best describes how Belle changes over the course of the story?

Riding a Bicycle
It was a bright Sunday morning when Belle woke up with the biggest smile on her face. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Her father was going to teach her to ride a bicycle. She dressed quickly and gulped down her breakfast.

After breakfast, Belle’s father showed her the different parts of a bike. Then he said he would hold onto the back of the bike while she peddled. But Belle’s excitement got the better of her. She said she wanted to try riding by herself. Her father let go. Belle quickly lost her balance and crashed to the ground. The fall dazed her. She grumpily agreed to let her father keep holding the bike while she rode.

Every once in a while, he would let go. The moment he did, Belle would lose her balance and topple over. Her father explained that this was perfectly normal. He said that all first-time riders fall. Even so, Belle’s mood darkened with each fall. After a while, she wanted to give up and return home.

Belle’s father tried to talk her out of quitting. He pointed toward some other children biking nearby. He showed her how happy they looked as they rode their bicycles. He told her she needed to keep trying. With a little more effort, she would soon enjoy riding just like the other children. His words gave Belle the determination to keep going.

After several more failed tries, Belle finally got the hang of it. She began gently peddling by herself, beaming with pride. She had finally done it! That night, she went to bed with a couple of bruises and cuts. But she had an even bigger smile on her face than she’d had in the morning. She would forever remember this day and the lesson she learned about never quitting.



A.
Belle starts showing more trust in her father as he teaches her how to ride a bike.
B.
Belle becomes less excited as the story goes on, until her excitement for bike riding disappears.
C.
Belle learns both how to ride a bike and how important it is not to give up.
D.
Belle gets hurt from falling off her bike, which scares her away from bike riding for good.
