Problem PageQuestion A theater group made appearances in two cities. The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $1500 lower than in the first. The tax in the first city was 10%, and the tax in the second city was 8%. The total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $825. How much was the hotel charge in each city before tax?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the hotel charge in the first city is $5250 while the hotel charge in the second city is $3750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the charge in the first city before tax and b represent the charge in the second city before tax.

Therefore tax in first city = 10% of a = 0.1a

Tax in second city = 8% of b = 0.08b

From the total tax as $825, hence:

0.1a + 0.08b = 825           (1)

The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $1500 lower than in the first. This gives the equation:

b = a - 1500

a - b = 1500                    (2)

To find a and b, solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously. Multiply equation 2 by 0.1 and subtract from equation 1:

0.18b = 675

b = $3750

a = b + 1500 = 3750 + 1500 = 5250

a = $5250

Therefore, the hotel charge in the first city is $5250 while the hotel charge in the second city is $3750

Two angles which are on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines and do not share the same vertex. They are congruent.

Answers

Answer:

Interior angles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that angles 3,4,5,6 are between the two parallel lines . These angles are called interior angles.

Angles 3,6 are opposite and do not share the same vertex.

Similarly angles 4 and 5 do not share the same vertex.

They are congruent.

If we look closely we see that angles 3 &4  and angles 5&6 are supplementary angles.

i.e they together make up the 180 degrees on the straight line.

On  the outer sides of the parallel lines angles 1&2 and angles 7 & 8 are exterior angles

which also make supplementary angles on the parallel lines.

From the diagram we see that

∠ 5= ∠7  

and

∠6 = ∠ 8

as the corresponding angles are equal

∠8=∠3

∠7=∠4

As they are opposite angles

Similarly

∠1=∠6

∠2=∠5  ( opposite angles)

From above

∠5=∠7

but ∠7= ∠4

therefore

∠ 5= ∠4-----------------A

Also

∠6 = ∠ 8

but ∠8=∠3

therefore

∠6=∠8----------------------B

From An and B we conclude  interior angles are congruent

You have a box with 5 blue marbles, 4 red marbles, and 9 yellow marbles. You are going to pull out one marble, record its color, put it back in the box and draw another marble. What is the probability of pulling out a blue marble followed by a yellow marble?

Answers

Answer:

I think it's 45/196.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure though, no explanation.

The probability of pulling out a blue marble followed by a yellow marble 25% or 0.25 .

What is probability ?

Probability is the branch of mathematics that studies the possible outcomes of given events together with the outcomes' relative likelihoods and distributions.

Based on the given conditions, formulate 9 ×9÷((9 + 5 + 4) ×(9 +5 +4))

Calculate the product or quotient = [tex]\frac{81}{(9 +5 + 4) * (9 + 5 + 4)}[/tex]

Calculate the sum or difference=  [tex]\frac{81}{(14 + 4) * (9 +5+4)}[/tex]

Calculate the sum or difference = [tex]\frac{81}{18 * (9+5+4)}[/tex]

                                                     = [tex]\frac{81}{18 * (14 + 4)}[/tex]

                                                     =[tex]\frac{81}{18 * 18}[/tex]

Calculate the product or quotient = [tex]\frac{81}{324}[/tex]

Cross out the common factor = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

              get the result 25% or 0.25

Therefore, The probability of pulling out a blue marble followed by a yellow marble 25% or 0.25 .

A cylinder with height of 4 meters has a volume of 2,827.43 cubic meters. Find the length of the diameter.

Answers

Answer: 30 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πr^2h

2,827.43 = πr^2(4)

2,827.43 = 3.14(4)r^2

2,827.43 = 12.56*r^2

2,827.43/12.56 = (12.56*r^2)/12.56

225.11 = r^2, find square root of both sides

r = 15

Find the equation of the circle with a center at (2,-1) and a radius of square root of 12

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+ [tex]y^{2}[/tex] -4x+2y-7=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, center at (2,-1)

let a = 2, b = -1

radius, r = [tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex]

As we know the equation circle is, [tex](x-a) ^{2}[/tex]+[tex](y-b) ^{2}[/tex] = [tex]r^{2}[/tex] when radius and center point is given.

Mary made 12 bracelets. 9 of those bracelets are the color blue.
What percent of bracelets are blue?

Answers

75% of the bracelets are blue

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Mary made twelve bracelets and also that nine of them are blue, we are then asked to find the percentage of the bracelets that are blue.

To solve, first get a fraction of how many of the bracelets are blue. Since there are twelve in total, 12 will be our denominator, and since 9 are blue, 9 will be our numerator.

[tex]\frac{9}{12}[/tex]

Now to turn this into a percentage, we need to reduce this fraction to the lowest we can. Both numerator and denominator are divisible by 3, so do as followed :

[tex]\frac{9/3}{12/3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Divide 3 by 4 :

[tex]3/4 = 0.75[/tex]

Multiply 0.75 by 100 to get our percentage :

[tex]0.75 * 100 = 75[/tex]%

Carolina is mowing the lawn for a summer job. For each cutting job, she charges an initial fee of $ 8 plus $ 6 for each hour of work. 1-Write an equation (in the form y = mx + b) to represent this problem. 2-If Carolina is paid a total of $ 32, how many hours did she work?

Answers

Answer:

F(t) = 8 + 6(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

6*4 = 24

32-24 = 8

so her initial fee is $8

so function is:

F(t) = 8 + 6(t)

Answer:

1. y = 6x + 8

2. 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

x is each hour of work.

y is the total that Carolina is paid.

y = mx + b

32 = 6(x) + 8

Subtract 8 from both sides.

6x = 32 - 8

6x = 24

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 4

Carolina is works 4 hours to be paid 32.

Jade has tax deducted from her income at the rate of 24%.
Last month, after tax had been deducted, $1786 of her income remained.
Calculate her income last month before the tax was deducted.​

Answers

Answer:

$2350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jade's total income be X

Therefore,the tax deducted was 24%x

Forming an equation:

X= 24%x + 1786

X = 0.24x + 1786

Collecting like terms

x - 0.24x = 1786

0.76x =1786

x= 1786 ÷0.76

X= $2350

subtract 7x from both sides

x - 2 = -11 + 2

When the hour hand is on (1), then the time is "after"

From the attached clock, we have:

(1) The hour hand on 9

(2) The minute hand 1 unit above 9 i.e. 46 minutes

(1) implies that, the time is before 9 i.e. past 8

(2) implies that the minutes is (60 - 46) before 9 or 46 minutes after 8
