First you must find the rate of both taxes. Since its 8% and 6%, you must add them both together, then divide them by 100. 

14/100 = .14

Then for both rates you must add 1 because it is a tax increase.

1 + .14 = 1.14

Finally times 37.50 with 1.14

37.50(1.14) = <span>42.75

<span>$42.75 is the answer.</span>

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The article will cost altogether:

                       $ 42.75

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

The  retail price of the article is: $ 37.50.

Also, the article will hold a city tax of 6% and a federal excise tax of 8%.

Hence, the total percent tax on article is: 6+8=14%

This means that the cost price of the article is:

Retail Price of article+14% of retail price.

=  37.50+14% of 37.50

= 37.50+0.14×37.50

= 37.50+5.25

= 42.75

           Hence, the article will cost:  $ 42.75

The population of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every 24 h. The population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms. How lo
liberstina [14]

Answer:

16.34 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information we can see that the case is of exponential growth

Hence, we will use the formula

A=P(2)^\frac{t}{24}

Here A =800 is the amount that is needed to reach

P is the initial amount that is 500

We have to find the time it will take to reach 800 that is we need to find t

On substituting the values in the formula we get

800=500(2)^\frac{t}{24}

On simplification we get

\Rightarrow\frac{8}{5}=(2)^\frac{t}{24}

Taking log on both sides we get

\Rightarrow\log\frac{8}{5}=\log(2)^\frac{t}{24}

using \log\frac{m}{n}=\log m-\log n

And \log a^m=m\log a

\Rightarrow\log{8}-\log{5}=\frac{t}{24}\log2

Now substituting values of log 8=0.903, log 5=0.698 and log 2=0.301 we get

\Rightarrow 0.903-0.698=\frac{t}{24}0.301

\Rightarrow 0.205=\frac{t}{24}0.301

\Rightarrow \frac{0.205}{0.301}\cdot 24=t

\Rightarrow t=16.34
