Turn the percentage into a decimal.
6% = 0.06
Multiply.
990 * 0.06 = $54.9 (sales tax)
Add.
990 + 54.9 = $1,049.40 (total price)
Best of Luck!
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
The answer is 2 bedsheets every 1 minute
Answer:
f(x) = 3x^2 -21x +36
Step-by-step explanation:
The table gives the x- and y-intercepts, which are sufficient to write the equation in factored form. The x-intercepts of 3 and 4 tell you that factors are (x -3)(x -4). When x=0, this product is (-3)(-4) = 12, but the y-intercept value is 3 times that: 36. So, the factored equation is ...
f(x) = 3(x -3)(x -4)
Multiplying this out, we get ...
f(x) = 3(x^2 -7x +12)
f(x) = 3x^2 -21x +36
What does that mean? What is the question?
