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!

Look at the sequence in the table.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The consecutive values of $a_{n}$ have a common difference d, that is

d = 8 - 3 = 13 - 8 = 18 - 13 = 23 - 18 = 5

This indicates that the sequence is arithmetic.

The recursive formula allows the next term in the sequence to be found from the previous term by adding 5, thus

$a_{n}$ = $a_{n-1}$ + 5 → A

Passes through the points (−4, 2) and (12, 6)?

svlad2 [7]

<u>I'll assume you need to find the equation of the line that passes through those points.</u>

Answer:

$\displaystyle y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x+4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Line:</u>

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

$\displaystyle y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The given points are (-4,2) and (12,6), thus:

$\displaystyle y-2=\frac{6-2}{12+4}(x+4)$

Operating:

$\displaystyle y-2=\frac{4}{16}(x+4)$

Simplifying, the equation in point-slope form is:

$\mathbf{\displaystyle y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x+4)}$

What is 2/5 divided by 5/7 in fraction form, not decimal

PIT_PIT [208]

Ok. In order to do this set up 2/5 divided by 5/7. The way you divide with fractions is by multiplying them but flipping the second fraction into 7/5 <---this is known as the reciprocal. In other words do:

2/5 x 7/5 =
14/25
There you go.
