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>
<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

A game has an expected value to you of ​$100. it costs ​$500 to​ play, but if you win you receive​ $100,000 (including your ​$50
tekilochka [14]

Let X be a random variable denoting the amount of winnings in any given round of the game. There is some probability p of winning where P(X=99,500)=p, while P(X=-500)=1-p, assuming these are the only two possible outcomes. So we have

\mathbb E[X]=\displaystyle\sum_xxP(X=x)=99,500p-500(1-p)=100

100,000p-500=100\implies p=\dfrac3{500}=0.006
