The Griffins and the Corbins live in the same city and pay the same sales tax rate, and both families made $12,000 in taxable purchases last year. If the Griffins made $73,000 and the Corbins made $29,000 last year, is the sales tax in their city an example of a regressive tax?

A.Yes, because the Corbins paid a higher percentage of their income in sales tax than the Griffins did.
B.No, because the Corbins paid a higher percentage of their income in sales tax than the Griffins did.
C.No, because the Griffins and the Corbins both paid the same sales tax rate.
D.Yes, because the Griffins and the Corbins both paid the same sales tax rate.

Answers

Answer 1
The answer is A although the sales tax is uniform  , since the Corbins made less money so they paid more sales tax from their pocket thats what regressive tax is about.
Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.Yes, because the Corbins paid a higher percentage of their income in sales tax than the Griffins did.

Regressive tax is applied uniformly and this causes lower-income people to pay a larger share of their income than rich people. It is not a fair way though it seems to be. Most regressive taxes are not income taxes.

Elliott purchased shares of Microsoft in 2008 for $28 per share. He plans to sell them as soon as the price rises 20%. At what price will he sell his shares?

Answers

Since we are to find the price when it is risen 20%, therefore the fractional increase must be 0.20 of the original, therefore:

amount increased = $28 * 0.20 = $5.60

 

So the selling price must be:

selling price = $28 + $5.60 = $33.60

Final answer:

Elliott will sell his Microsoft shares at a price of $33.60 each after a 20% price increase from his initial purchase price of $28 per share.

Explanation:

The question concerns the calculation of a future selling price of shares after a certain percentage increase. To find the selling price after a 20% increase on Elliott's initial purchase price of $28 per share, we first calculate the 20% increase, which is 0.20 × $28 = $5.60. Next, we add this increase to the original purchase price to determine the selling price: $28 + $5.60 = $33.60 per share. Therefore, Elliott plans to sell his shares when their price reaches $33.60 each.

Determine which equations below, when combined with the equation 3x-4y=2, will form a system with no solutions. Choose all that apply.
A) 2y = 1.5x - 2
B) 2y = 1.5x - 1
C) 3x + 4y = 2
D) -4y + 3x = -2

Answers

Two equations will not have solution if they are parallel and have different y-intercepts. Parallel lines have the same slope. In a slope-intercept form, the equation of the line can be expressed as,       
 
        y = mx + b 

where m is slope and b is the y-intercept.

Given: 3x - 4y = 2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1/2

A. 2y = 1.5x - 2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 - 1

B. 2y = 1.5x - 1
Slope-intercept:  y = 3x/4 - 1/2

C. 3x + 4y = 2
Slope-intercept:  y = -3x/4 + 1/2

D. -4y + 3x = -2
Slope-intercept: y = 3x/4 + 1/2

ΔABC with vertices A(-3, 0), B(-2, 3), C(-1, 1) is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin. It is then reflected across the line y = -x. What are the coordinates of the vertices of the image?

Answers

I believe the coordinates are A (0,-3), B (3,-2), C (1,-1)

Answer:

A(0, -3) ;  B(3, -2) and C(1, -1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : ΔABC with vertices A(-3, 0), B(-2, 3), C(-1, 1) is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin.

To find : What are the coordinates of the vertices of the image.

Solution : We have given

Vertices A(-3, 0), B(-2, 3), C(-1, 1)  is rotated 180° clockwise.

By the rotation rule of 180° clockwise : (x ,y) →→ ( -x ,-y).

Then vertices would be

A(-3, 0) →→ A(3, 0)

B(-2, 3) →→ B(2, -3)

C(-1, 1) →→ C(1, -1).

Reflection y = -x then

A(0, -3) ;  B(3, -2) and C(-1, 1).

Therefore, A(0, -3) ;  B(3, -2) and C(1, -1).

A survey was taken on pet ownership. 750 people were covered on the first day of the survey. The number tripled every subsequent day. Find the total number of people surveyed in 6 days
A. 265100
B. 265200
C. 273000
D. 265700

Answers

day one: 750 * 1 = 750
day two: 750 * 3 = 2250
day three: 2250 * 3 = 6750
day four: 6750 * 3 = 20250
day five: 20250 * 3 = 60750
day six: 60750 * 3 = 182250
add it all together: 750 + 2250 + 6750 + 20250 + 60750 + 182250 = 273000

The answer is C, 273000.

To find the total number of people surveyed in 6 days with numbers tripling each day starting with 750, we calculate the number for each day and sum them up, giving a total of 273000 people surveyed.

To calculate the total number of people surveyed in 6 days if 750 people were covered on the first day and the number tripled every subsequent day. We will use an exponential growth formula to find the answer.

On Day 1: 750 people.

On Day 2: 750 × 3 = 2250 people.

On Day 3: 2250 × 3 = 6750 people.

On Day 4: 6750 × 3 = 20250 people.

On Day 5: 20250 × 3 = 60750 people.

On Day 6: 60750 × 3 = 182250 people.

To find the total number of people surveyed over the 6 days, we add up the total number of people surveyed each day:
750 + 2250 + 6750 + 20250 + 60750 + 182250 = 273000 people.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 273000.

What are the solutions to the inequality? Graph the solutions. x/5 greater than or equal to -2

Answers

x/5 > -2

">" is the greater than sign, and ">" means it is greater than or equal to since it is underlined. All you have to do now is put the inequality into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and plot the line on a graph.

In this inequality, -2 is y and x/5 is x. Just rearrange the terms while still keeping the answer the same.

x/5 > -2
-2 < x/5 Notice that the sign changed to "less than or equal to." This is because x/5 is still greater than or equal to -2, which makes -2 less than or equal to x/5.

Since it is "or equal to," we can discover what x could be by multiplying -2 by 5, which is -10. So the non-dotted line goes over the point -10 on the x-axis, straightly vertical without a slope, and everything that is greater than -10 is shaded, which is everything on the right side of the line. It should look like the attachment below.

Which expression is equivalent to square root of 9x^2?

Answers

Let's take the square root of this

√(9x^2)

To make this easier, let's use the following property of roots.

√(ab) = √(a) * √(b)

Let's separate the square root into two different square roots.

√(9x^2)
= √(9) * √(x^2)

Now, let's solve for each square root individually.

√(9) = 3
√(x^2) = x

Now, combine them

3 * x = 3x

3x is your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)
9x^2 can be rewritten as 9*x*x or 3*3*x*x
You can think of 3*3*x*x as 3x*3x which is (3x)^2.

Now we can take the square root of (3x)^2 (which equals 9x^2).

√(3x)^2
The √ and the ^2 cancel out so you are left with 3x.

So, √
9x^2 = √(3x)^2 = 3x.

3x is your answer!

therefore the answer is √11-4

ANSWER

[tex] \sqrt{11} - 4[/tex]


EXPLANATION

The given radical expression is

[tex] \frac{3 - 2 \sqrt{11} }{2 + \sqrt{11} } [/tex]

We rationalize the radical expression by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of
[tex]2 + \sqrt{11} [/tex]

which is

[tex]2 - \sqrt{11} [/tex]

This will give us,

[tex] \frac{3 - 2 \sqrt{11} }{2 + \sqrt{11} } \times \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} }{2 - \sqrt{11} } [/tex]


[tex] \frac{(3 - 2 \sqrt{11})(2 - \sqrt{11} ) }{(2 + \sqrt{11})(2 - \sqrt{11} ) }[/tex]
We expand the numerator and also apply difference of two squares to the denominator.


[tex] \frac{6 - 3 \sqrt{11} - 4 \sqrt{11} + 2(11)}{ {2}^{2} - { (\sqrt{11} )}^{2} } [/tex]

This simplifies to,


[tex] \frac{6- 3\sqrt{11} - 4 \sqrt{11} + 22}{ 4- 11} [/tex]


[tex] \frac{28- 7 \sqrt{11} }{ - 7} [/tex]


We now share the denominator for the numerators to obtain,


[tex] - \frac{28}{7} + \frac{7 \sqrt{11} }{7} [/tex]

This finally gives,

[tex] - 4 + \sqrt{11} = \sqrt{11} - 4[/tex]

Answers

17 are older than 16 years old and 12 are taller than 170 cm

Final answer:

By using the principle of inclusion-exclusion, we calculate that all 20 girls on the basketball team are either over 16 years old or taller than 170 cm, as the sum of the individual criteria minus the intersection equals the total number of girls on the team.

Explanation:

To determine how many of the girls on the basketball team are either over 16 years old or taller than 170 cm, we can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion. According to the information provided, there are 20 girls on the team in total, of which 17 are over 16 years old, 12 are taller than 170 cm, and 9 satisfy both criteria. The principle of inclusion-exclusion states that the number of elements in the union of two sets is equal to the sum of the sizes of each set minus the size of their intersection.

Using this principle:

Number of girls over 16 years old: 17

Number of girls taller than 170 cm: 12

Number of girls who are both over 16 and taller than 170 cm: 9

The calculation would be as follows:

17 (over 16) + 12 (taller than 170 cm) - 9 (both) = 20

Therefore, there are 20 girls on the team who are either older than 16 or taller than 170 cm.
