An article retails for $37.50. The city sales tax is 6%, and the federal excise tax is 8%. How much does the article cost altogether?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Total cost of the article altogether is $42.75 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

An article retails for $37.50.

The city sales tax is 6%, and the federal excise tax is 8%.

6% is written in the decimal form

= (6)/(100)

= 0.06

Price of city sales tax = 0.06 × Article cost

                                    = 0.06 × 37.50

                                    = $ 2.25

8% is written in the decimal form

= (8)/(100)

= 0.08

Price of federal excise tax  = 0.08 × Article cost

                                             = 0.08 × 37.50

                                             = $ 3

Thus

Total cost of the article altogether = Article cost + Price of city sales tax + Price of federal excise tax

Putting all the values in the above

                                                         = $ 37.50 + $2.25 + $3

                                                         = $ 42.75

Therefore the total cost of the article altogether is $42.75 .

Answer: Hey:-)

Let the cost of article be x
37.50=x+0.06x+0.08x
Solve for x
X=32.9

-3(4x+2)=18 WHAT IS IT????

Answers

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(4x + 2) = 18

Divide by -3:

-3(4x + 2) / -3 = 18 / -3

4x + 2 = -6

Subtract 2:

4x + 2 - 2 = -6 - 2

4x = -8

Divide by 4:

4x / 4 = -8 / 4

x = -2

the perimeter of a rectangle is 58. The length is 1 more than 2 1/2 times the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle

Answers

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is given as

P=2L+2W

where L is the length and W is the width. Substitution of the given values will yield,

58=2L+2W     (1)

The next thing that we have to do is to translate the relationship between the two variables, L and W, into a mathematical equation.

So we have 

L=2.5W+1     (2)

Now we have two equations, we also have two unknowns, so this problem is solvable. Substitution of equation (2) in (1) yields

58=2(2.5W+1)+2W
58=5w+2+2w
58=7W+2
56=7W
8=W

Substitution of this value to equation (2) yields

L=2.5(8)+1
L=21

So, the dimensions of the rectangle are:, specifically, width is equal to 8 while length is equal to 21.
