Percy paid $24.10 for a basketball the price of the basketball was $22.99 what was the sales tax rate

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

To find the sales tax rate, you need to find what percentage of the base price the difference in cost is.

First, subtract 22.99 from 24.10:

24.1-22.99=1.11

Now, divide 1.11 by 22.99:

1.11/22.99=0.0483

Multiply 0.0483 by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage:

0.0483*100=4.83

The sales tax rate was 4.83%.

Hope this helps!!

B. all you have to do is multiply the top and bottom by 2
you multiply eleven by two to get twenty-two and with fractions " what you do to the top you must do to the bottom" so: 9/11 x 2/2 = 18/22 so B.

There are 5/6 as many black pants as blue pants in george's closet. There are 5/9 as many black pants as brown pants in his closet. What is the ratio of the number black pants to the total number of pants in his closet?

Answers

Answer is the ratio   1 : 4

Work Shown

x = number of black pants

y = number of blue pants

z = number of brown pants

x = (5/6)y

x = (5/9)z

z = (9/5)x

x+y+z = total number of pants

x+y+z = (5/6)y + y + (9/5)x

x+y+z = (5/6)y+y+(9/5)*(5/6)y  

x+y+z = (5/6)y+y+(3/2)y

x+y+z = (5/6)y+(6/6)y+(9/6)y

x+y+z = ( (5+6+9)/6 )y

x+y+z = (20/6)y

x+y+z = (10/3)y

numberOfBlackPants : Total

(5/6)y : (10/3)y

6*(5/6)y : 6*(10/3)y

5y : 20y

5 : 20

1 : 4

The ratio of the number of black pants to the total number is 1 : 4

It means the total is 4 times that of the number of black pants.

How can we tell if a number is divisible by 4? A. The last two digits of the number are divisible by 4   B. The sum of the digits is 4   C. The sum of the digits is divisible by 4   D. The last digit is divisible by 4

Answers

A, the last two digits of the number are divisible by 4
A is the correct answer. We all know that 100 is divisible by 4, so any multiple of 100 is also divisible by 4 (ex. 500, 1500, etc.)z Therefore, any number can be divisible by 4 regardless of what is in the hundreds place and above. What counts is the last two digits of the number, the tens and ones places. For example, let's look at 334 and 324. 34 is not divisible by 4, therefore 334 is not divisible by 4. 24 is divisible by 4, therefore 324 is divisible by 4. Check in a calculator for proof!

Step-by-step explanation:

In New York, state sales tax rates vary by county. In Allegany County, the sales tax rate is 8 1 2 %. a. A book costs $12.99, and a video game costs $39.99. Rounded to the nearest cent, how much more is the tax on the video game than the tax on the book?

Answers

Answer:

$ 2.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sales tax rate = 8(1)/(2)\%=8.5\%

The cost of the book is $ 12.99.

So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 12.99

= \frac {8.5}{100}* 12.99

=1.10

So, the sales tax on the book is $ 1.10.

The cost of the video game is $ 39.99.

So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 39.99

= \frac {8.5}{100}* 39.99

=3.30

So, the sales tax on the book is $ 3.40.

The difference of taxes on both the items = $ 3.40-$ 1.10=$ 2.30

So, the tax on the video game is $ 2.30 more than then tax on the book.

I need help to graphs these problem please

Answers

If you're talking about #5, where you have to graph the equation . . .

All you have to do is find two points on the graph, and draw a line between them.

How do you find points ?  That's where you are in control !
Just pick any number you like for 'x', and then use the equation
to calculate the 'y' that goes with it.

Examples:

Pick 'zero' for 'x'. 
Y = (1/2)x + 3
Y = 3

Pick 10 for 'x'.
y = (1/2)x + 3
y = 5 + 3
y = 8

Just create two points that way, using the equation.  Then mark
the two points on the graph, and draw a line through the two points.
