1. a. Oops, it seems like someone dropped their pizza toppings on this question. Michelle made 91 goals (not 3). She had quite the kick!
b. Michelle's goals account for approximately 19.96% of the team's total. They might want to rename the team the "Michelle's Magicians" because she's clearly a star player!
2. a. The tax paid on the earrings would be approximately $0.49. Better hold on to your pennies!
b. The total cost of the earrings, including the tax, would be $77.49. Earrings that fancy deserve a round of applause!
To find the answer to the first question, you need to calculate Michelle's goals based on the information given.
a. To find the number of goals Michelle made, you need to multiply the total number of attempts (130) by the percentage of goals made (70%):
Goals made = 130 * 0.70 = 91
Therefore, Michelle made 91 goals.
b. To find the percentage of the team's goals that Michelle made, you need to divide Michelle's goals (91) by the total number of team goals (456) and then multiply by 100:
Percentage = (91 / 456) * 100 ≈ 19.96%
Therefore, Michelle made about 19.96% of the team's goals.
So, your answer to the first question is option 3: 91 goals; 19.96%.
Moving on to the second question:
To calculate the tax paid and the total cost of the earrings, you need to use the given sales tax rate of 6.3%.
a. To find the tax paid on earrings costing $77, you need to multiply the cost by the tax rate:
Tax paid = $77 * 0.063 ≈ $4.85
Therefore, the tax paid on the earrings is approximately $4.85.
b. To find the total cost of the earrings, you need to add the original cost and the tax paid:
Total cost = $77 + $4.85 = $81.85
So, your answer to the second question is option 2: $4.85; $81.85.
I hope this helps explain how to solve these problems!
