a 30-pound bag of dog food cost $32.00. a coupon for $4.00 off is used befor tax. a 6% sales tax is then applied to the purchase. what is the final cost of the bag of dog food?

a. 1.68
b. 27.04
c. 29.68
d. 44.80

11 answers

To find the final cost of the bag of dog food after applying the coupon and sales tax, follow these steps:

  1. Initial cost of the dog food: $32.00
  2. Apply the coupon: \[ 32.00 - 4.00 = 28.00 \]
  3. Calculate the sales tax on the discounted price: \[ 6% , \text{of} , 28.00 = 0.06 \times 28.00 = 1.68 \]
  4. Add the sales tax to the discounted price: \[ 28.00 + 1.68 = 29.68 \]

Thus, the final cost of the bag of dog food is $29.68.

The correct answer is c. 29.68.

an architect makes a scale drawing of a garage. the garage is 6.2 meters wide. in scale drawing the garage is 3.1 centimeters wide.

To determine the scale used in the architect’s drawing, we can compare the actual width of the garage to the width of the scale drawing.

  1. Actual Width of the Garage: 6.2 meters
  2. Width of the Scale Drawing: 3.1 centimeters

First, we need to convert the actual width from meters to centimeters since the scale drawing is in centimeters:

  • Conversion: \[ 1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters} \] \[ 6.2 \text{ meters} = 6.2 \times 100 = 620 \text{ centimeters} \]

Now we have:

  • Actual Width: 620 centimeters
  • Scale Drawing Width: 3.1 centimeters

Next, we can find the scale by dividing the actual width by the width of the scale drawing:

\[ \text{Scale} = \frac{\text{Actual Width}}{\text{Scale Drawing Width}} = \frac{620 \text{ cm}}{3.1 \text{ cm}} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Scale} = 200 \]

This means the scale is 1:200. Therefore, in the scale drawing, every 1 centimeter represents 200 centimeters (or 2 meters) in the actual structure.

Summary: The scale of the drawing is 1:200.

an architect makes a scale drawing of a garage. the garage is 6.2 meters wide. in scale drawing the garage is 3.1 centimeters wide.

enter a value to show the scale the architect uses to make the drawing.

1 centimeter :________ meters

To find the scale in the format "1 centimeter : X meters," we need to establish the relationship between the width of the actual garage and the width of the scale drawing.

  1. Actual width of the garage: 6.2 meters
  2. Width of the scale drawing: 3.1 centimeters

We previously converted the actual width from meters to centimeters:

\[ 6.2 , \text{meters} = 620 , \text{centimeters} \]

Now, to find the scale:

  1. Find out how many actual centimeters correspond to 1 centimeter in the drawing:

\[ \text{Scale factor} = \frac{\text{Actual Width (cm)}}{\text{Scale Drawing Width (cm)}} = \frac{620 , \text{cm}}{3.1 , \text{cm}} = 200 \]

This means that 1 cm in the drawing represents 200 cm in reality. Now, we can convert this back into meters:

\[ 200 , \text{cm} = 2 , \text{meters} \]

Thus, the scale can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Scale: } 1 , \text{centimeter} : 2 , \text{meters} \]

So, the value to enter is:

1 centimeter : 2 meters.

Harold has cards with different letters on them. the probability of randomly drawing each letter is show.

P(F)=0.25
P(L)=0/03
P(M)=0.07
P(R)=0.10
P(T)=0.15
P(Y)=0.40

select all the letters that are more likely to be drawn then the letter T.

To determine which letters have a higher probability of being drawn than the letter T, we need to compare the probability of each letter to the probability of T.

The probability of drawing T is given as:

\[ P(T) = 0.15 \]

Now let's list the probabilities of the other letters:

  • \( P(F) = 0.25 \)
  • \( P(L) = 0.03 \)
  • \( P(M) = 0.07 \)
  • \( P(R) = 0.10 \)
  • \( P(Y) = 0.40 \)

Now, we will compare each of these probabilities to \( P(T) = 0.15 \):

  • F: \( P(F) = 0.25 > 0.15 \) (more likely)
  • L: \( P(L) = 0.03 < 0.15 \) (not more likely)
  • M: \( P(M) = 0.07 < 0.15 \) (not more likely)
  • R: \( P(R) = 0.10 < 0.15 \) (not more likely)
  • Y: \( P(Y) = 0.40 > 0.15 \) (more likely)

Thus, the letters that are more likely to be drawn than the letter T are:

  • F
  • Y

So the final answer is: F and Y.

a circle has a radius of 11.40 centimeters.

what is the approximate area of the circle in spare centimeters?'
a.35.81
b.71.63
c.129.96
d.408.28

To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

Given that the radius \( r \) is 11.40 centimeters, we can calculate the area:

  1. First, square the radius: \[ r^2 = (11.40 , \text{cm})^2 = 130.96 , \text{cm}^2 \]

  2. Now, multiply by \( \pi \) (approximately 3.14): \[ \text{Area} \approx 3.14 \times 130.96 \approx 410.54 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Now, comparing with the provided options, none of them directly match our result of \( 410.54 , \text{cm}^2 \).

Let's recalculate using \( \pi \) with a more precise value (approximately 3.14159):

  1. Calculating the area using the precise value of \( \pi \): \[ \text{Area} \approx 3.14159 \times 130.96 \approx 410.96 , \text{cm}^2 \]

This confirms that the area is approximately \( 410.96 , \text{cm}^2 \).

Thus, if we were to round it appropriately and compare to the available options, the closest answer would be:

d. 408.28 cm² (although it is slightly less than our calculation, it appears to be the intended choice based on provided options).

If you need exactness, the calculations lead to somewhere close to \( 410.54 , \text{cm}^2 \), so there could be a rounding consideration in play. If you use an exact calculator or maintain more decimal places through the process, you'll find numbers shift a bit more.
