A grocery store receipt shows 5% state tax due on laundry detergent and a flower bouquet. Does it matter whether the tax is calculated on each separate item or the total cost? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Calculated on each separate item because, the 5% is PER ITEM for example here in Florida, there is a 7% tax but no tax on unprepared food, but if you go to Whole Foods and buy 4 burgers and a head of lettuce they tax for each burger because if it was for the total cost they would be taxing for the head of lettuce which is not what the state law says you can do.

Aiden borrows a book from a public library. He read a few pages on day one. On day two he reads twice the number of pages than he read on day one. On the third day, he reads six pages less than what he read on the first day. If he reads the entire book that contains 458 pages. Write how many pages he read on day three

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

On day one = few pages (x)

On day two = twice of pages read on day one (2x)

On day three= 6 less than the page read the first day (x-6)

Total pages read = x+2x+(x-6)=458

4x-6=458

4x=458+6=464

x= 464÷4

x=116

Pages read on day three was 110

Which two numbers have a difference of 5 and a product of 3.36???

Answers

x - y = 5

x.y = 3.36

$(x-y)^2=5^2$

$x^(2) -2xy + y^(2) =25$

$x^(2) + y^(2)=25+6.72=31,72$

$(x+y)^2= x^(2) +2xy+ y^(2) =31,72 + 6,72 = 38,44$

$√((x+y)^2)= √(38,44)$

x+y= 6,2
and we know that x - y= 5

x+y+x-y=6,2 + 5
2x=11,2
x=5,6

so then y=0,6

Answer:

x= 5,6
y= 0,6

Answer:

25 i believe
