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!

Answer:

$- 7.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the value of

$- |5 \times 2 + 2| + |3 \times 3 - 4.2|$

We carry out the multiplication first to get:

$- |10 + 2| + |9 - 4.2|$

We simplify within the absolute value bar.

$- |12| + |4.8|$

Evaluate the absolute values

$- 12 + 4.8$

$= - 7.2$

Answer:

Question one: 3rd option

(Pt. 2 written):

b=ac^2

b=1/8 (4)^2

b= 2

Question two: It is option 2

(Pt. 2 written):

v= m-k

v= -2+7

v= 5

Question three: option 2

(Pt. 2 written):

q=ps/r

q=14(-4)/-7

q=-56/-7

q=8

Question four: It is choice number 3

(Pt. 2 written):

m=3n/4

m=3(8)/4

m=24/4

m=6

Question five: It is choice number 2

(Pt. 2 written):

x=wy+z

x=-8(-5)+6

x=40+6

x=46

Simplify the expression below. (2x^3-12x^2+10x-108)/x-6

ser-zykov [4K]

We have the following expression:
(2x ^ 3-12x ^ 2 + 10x-108) / x-6
Dividing the expression between x-6 we have:
quotient: 2x ^ 2 + 10
remainder: - 48
We can check the result then rewriting the expression:
2x ^ 3-12x ^ 2 + 10x-108
= (2x ^ 2 + 10) * (x-6) - 48
= (2x ^ 3 + 10x - 12 x ^ 2 - 60) - 48
= 2x ^ 3-12x ^ 2 + 10x-108
Division OK.
Answer:
The result of the division is:
quotient: 2x ^ 2 + 10
remainder: - 48
