The property taxes on a boat were $2,883. what was the tax rate if the boat was valued at $175,000? round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Value of Boat = $ 175,000

Property Tax = $2,883

To determine tax rate, we can use the formula:

Tax Rate (%) = × 100

⇒ Tax Rate (%) = × 100

⇒ Tax Rate = 1.647428.... %

Rounding off to the nearest hundredth (i.e. till 2 decimal places):

Tax Rate = 1.65% [Since after 1.64 then next digit is 7, which is greater than 5, hence 4 will change to 5 when rounded off]

Hence, the answer is 1.65% tax rate was charged on the boat

step-by-step explanation:

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
