Orion buys 3 books for a total of 25.50. He pays $8 plus sales tax for each book. He wants to know how much the sales tax is for one book.
Let "t" equal the sales tax Orion pays for each book. Write an equation that represents this situation.

Answers

Answer 1

The equation that represents this situation is 8 + 3t = 25.50.

How to calculate the value?

Let the sales tax for each book be represented as t.

Since Orion buys 3 books for a total of 25.50 and he pays $8 plus sales tax for each book. This will be illustrated as:

Cost of book + Tax = Total amount

8 + (3 × t) = 25.50

8 + 3t = 25.50

Collect like terms

3t = 25.50 - 8.

3t = 17.50

Divide

t = 17.50 / 3

t = 5.83

The sales tax is $5.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min. Work out the difference between their average speeds in km/h. 1 mile = 1.6 km​

Answers

Answer:

30.4 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajoba: 45 miles = 72 km ; 2.5 hours

Prav: 74 km ; 1 hour 15 min = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] hours

Ajoba's average speed: 72 ÷ 2.5 = 28.8 km/h

Prav's average speed: 74 ÷ [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] = 59.2 km/h

Difference: 59.2 - 28.8 = 30.4 km/h

Over the summer, Jarrod did online tutoring with kids. He was paid a total of $342.30 for 42 hours of tutoring. What was his hourly rate of pay?

Answers

Answer:

His hourly rate is $8.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hourly rate is how much he earns in one hour. We know how much he earns in 42 hours ($342.3).

So what we need to do is to divide that amount ($342.3) by 42.

And we get $8.15.

Jane needs to make a four-letter password. If the first letter has to be a vowel, how many possibilities are there to choose from where y is not a vowel

Answers

The vowels are A,E,I,O,U so 5 because if you add them together it’s 5

The number of possibilities for Jane for making the four letter password (either upper case or lower case) with first letter being a vowel is 1406080

What is the rule of product in combinatorics?

If a work A can be done in p ways, and another work B can be done in q ways, then both A and B can be done in [tex]p \times q[/tex] ways.

Remember that this count doesn't differentiate between order of doing A first or B first then doing other work after the first work.

Thus, doing A then B is considered same as doing B then A

We need to find the number of ways a four letter password can be made The first letter is fixed to be a vowel.

There are 10 vowels (5 of lowercase and 5 of upper case).

Thus, 10 ways of choosing the first letter.

Second letter can be any of the 52 letters(26 of lowercase and 26 of uppercase).

Similarly, third and fourth letter can be any of the 52 letters.

Thus, using the product rule, the number of ways of making the four letter password is:

[tex]N = 10 \times 52 \times 52 \times 52 = 1406080[/tex]

(the answer can be different if we consider only either lowercase letters or only upper case letters. In those cases, there would be [tex]5 \times 26^3 = 87880[/tex] ways to make such passwords).

We used product rule, since we wanted to do the choosing of all the four letters for password, and we knew the number of ways each of them can be done individually.

Thus,  the number of possibilities for Jane for making the four letter password (either upper case or lower case) with first letter being a vowel is 1406080

Is the sequence geometric if so identify the common ratio 1/3, 2/9, 4/27, 8/81

Answers

Answer:

It is a geometric sequence and the common scale factor is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same.

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

where aₙ is the nth term, a₁ is the first term, n is the index, and d is the common difference.

In a geometric sequence, each consecutive term was multiplied by some factor over the last.

[tex]a_n=ax^n^-^1[/tex]

where aₙ is the nth term, n is the index, and x is the scale factor.

In the given sequence, there is no common difference so it is not an arithmetic sequence. There is, however, a common scale factor applied to each consecutive term. Each term is multiplied by [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] over the last.

The formula for this sequence would be:

[tex]a_n=a\frac{2}{3} ^{n-1}[/tex]

Answer:

r = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sequence is geometric then there will be a common ratio r between consecutive terms , that is

r = a₂ ÷ a₁ = a₃ ÷ a₂ = a₄ ÷ a₃

Then

a₂ ÷ a₁ = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] × 3 = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

a₃ ÷ a₂ = [tex]\frac{4}{27}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{27}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

a₄ ÷ a₃ = [tex]\frac{8}{81}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{4}{27}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{81}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{27}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Then sequence is geometric with common ratio r = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

The equation of the line is y = (2/5)x - 1/5 which passes through the points (-2, 1) and (3, 3).

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of a line is defined as the angle of the line.

Given that line passes through the points (-2, 1) and (3, 3)

Let the required line would be y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁ )[x -x₁]

x₁ = -2, y₁ = 1

x₂ = 3, y₂ = 3

⇒ y - y₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁ )[x -x₁]

Substitute values in the equation, we get

⇒ y - 1 = (3 - 1)/(3-(-2))[x -(-2)]

⇒ y - 1 = (2)/(5)[x+2]

⇒ y - 1 = 2/5(x -3)

⇒ y = (2/5)x - 6/5 + 1

⇒ y = (2/5)x - 1/5

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = (2/5)x - 1/5 which passes through the points (-2, 1) and (3, 3).
