So,

The total cost = cost + sales tax

cost + sales tax = x or total cost

1. cost = $245

2. sales tax = 0.065(cost)

245 + 0.065(cost) = x

Simplify
245 + 15.925 = x

Round to the nearest hundredth
245 + 15.93 = x

260.93 = x

The total cost of the speakers, including tax, is $260.93.

In order to find out what the additional value of the sales tax would be,which is 6.5%, you have to find 1% of $245. Which is $2.45. As you're looking for 6.5%, you have to multiply $2.45 by 6.5, which gives you $15.93 (rounded). In order to find the cost including the sales tax, you have to add $15.93 to the original price of $245, which gives you $260.93. Therefore, the price of the speakers, including a sales tax of 6.5% is $260.93 Hope this helps :)

What is the area of a rectangle that measures 9cm by 81mm?
RUDIKE [14]
Well, a Centimeter is 10 times bigger than a Milimeter.

So we can convert 9cm by multiplying it by 10

9 × 10= 90mm

SInce we know the length and width of the rectangle, we can now find the area of it, or "the space inside".

Area = length × width

Area = 90mm × 81mm
Area = 7290mm

At the beginning of a musical, four-fifths of the seats in the theater were filled. During intermission, 18 people left. If ther
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

there are 380 seats in total

Step-by-step explanation:

286 + 18 = 304 which is four-fifths of the seat.  since 304 seats is 80% of the total seats then if you divide it by 80 then multiply it by 100 you get 380.

so one fifth would be 76 seats and if you multiply it by 4 you get 304 which is four fifths of the seat.

Multiply it by 2, add 50 & my answer is 74, what was my number
kipiarov [429]
your number was 12.

let x be the number:

(x * 2) + 50 = 74

To solve for x, we need to reverse what was done to get the answer of 74.

Since 50 was added to arrive at 74, we deduct 50 from 74.

74 - 50 = 24

We then divide 24 by 2 to get the original number.

24/2 = 12.

Your number was 12.

To check:
(12 * 2) + 50 = 74
 24 + 50 = 74
74 = 74
