A flashlight costs $12.00. The sales tax is 6%. What is the amount of the sales tax?

1 answer:

5 0

12.00x0.06, which is 0.72, so the sales tax is 72 cents. Basically, what you do to answer these kinds of questions is divide the percentage by 100 (6/100=0.06), because the percentage is out of 100%. Then you multiply that number by the price to get the sales tax. If you wanted to find the total price, add the tax you found to the original price ( in this case would give us $12.72 )

Hope this helps!

Which integer is closest to 0 on the number line?

IrinaVladis [17]

An integer is close to zero if it is "small".

By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance $d$ , there are two integers that are $d$ units away from zero: $d$ and $-d$ .

So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.

So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.

Solve the problem x/27=4/9 x=

Monica [59]

Answer: x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 27.
Use this rule: a/b*c=ac/b
Simplify 4×27 to 108.
Simplify 108/9 to 12

$x=\frac{4}{9} *27\\\\x=\frac{4*27}{9} \\\\x=\frac{108}{9} \\\\x=12$

Hope this helps, HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Superbowl Weekend! :-)

Simplify (use only positive exponents) : (3y^10)(2y^2)/8y^5

nadezda [96]

When multiplying variables with exponents, all you have to do is to add the exponents and that’s the ‘product.’

So;

(3y^10)(2y^2) is equal to (3)(2)(y^10+2).

6y^12/8y^5

When dividing exponents, you do the opposite and subtract the exponents. And you divide the whole number by half.

6y^12/8y^5 = 3y^7/4
