Danika has saved enough money to pay cash for a used car. She wants to buy a car that costs 5500 before taxes. If she will be charged 6% sales tax, what is the total amount she will pay for the car?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

It's the same concept as the question you did before, you simply add 6% of 5500 to 5500 like this : total = 5500 + 0.06*5500

OpenStudy (rebeleco518):

does the * mean multiply? @math&ing001

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yes @RebeleCo518

OpenStudy (rebeleco518):

so you get 5830 ?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yep !

OpenStudy (rebeleco518):

OpenStudy (rebeleco518):

Lydia received a parking ticket because she parked 10 feet from a fire hydrant. She had estimated her distance from the fire hydrant as being the minimum allowable distance, which is 15 feet. What was her percent error?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Her error was 5 feet. 5 feet from 15 feet is 33.33%.

OpenStudy (rebeleco518):

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Did you try leaving it as a fraction 1/3 ?

OpenStudy (rebeleco518):

the options are 15%, 33%, 50% and 67%.... so no

OpenStudy (rebeleco518):

@math&ing001 ??

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Well it's 33%. Isn't it obvious :D

OpenStudy (rebeleco518):

Victor calculates the percentage interest rate he needs to make 20$ in simple annual interest over 2 months on a deposit of 1000$. Where did he go wrong? I= prt 20 = 1000•r•2 R= 0.01 R=1%  He applied the principal and interest to the wrong variables.  He should have divided 2 by 12 to get the value for t.  He misrepresented the earned interest with the final balance. •  He should have multiplied r by 100 to get the interest rate as a percentage.
