Conclusion:  The initial price of the telescope is $91.

Detailed explanation:

Given that

Jane's tax payment for the telescope was $4.55

with a tax rate of 5%

Let x be the price of the telescope

According to the problem,

\frac{5}{100}\times x=4.55\\\\x=\frac{100}{5}\times 4.55\\\\x=20\times 4.55\\\\x=\$91

Thus, the original price of the telescope is $91.

The telescope’s cost is $91

4.55 divided by 5% (0.05) equals 91.

Geraldine has 200 feet of fencing. She wants to fence in a rectangular area. Which function A(w) represents the area of land tha
Zina [9171]
A(w) = -w² + 100w Step-by-step explanation: Initially, we need to express the length (l) of the rectangular area in terms of the width (w). Given that the total perimeter of the rectangle is 200 feet implies that 2(w + l) = 200, leading to l = 100 - w. Hence, the area A can be given as width multiplied by length: A = w * l = w * (100 - w) = -w² + 100w. Consequently, A(w) = -w² + 100w.

Svet_ta [9500]

In this problem the number we are working with is:

105,159

By definition we note:

thousand place: a five-digit quantity greater than zero.

Moreover, the rounding rule is:

if the digit being removed is 5 or more, increase the kept digit by one.

Therefore, rounding to the nearest ten thousand yields:

105,159 = 110,000

Answer:

105,159 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is:

105,159 = 110,000
