1. A limited-edition soccer ball costs $30, and the
sales tax is 6%. What is the total cost?

$31.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball will cost 100% of its price plus 6% of its price for a total of 106%.

To use percentages as a factor and multiply, they must be divide by 100, making the multiplication factor version of 106% 1.06.

Multiply the cost of the ball by your multiplication factor:

30 x 1.06 = 31.8

Money is written to two decimal places, making your answer $31.80

$31.80

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much the sales tax is

$30 × 6%

Convert the percentage into a decimal

30 × 0.06

1.8

$1.80

Add the sales tax to the original cost

$30 + $1.80

$31.80

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).

step-by-step explanation:

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,
