It is important to look at all details given in the question very carefully.
Amount of sales tax taken on the sofa = $43.13
Actual cost of the sofa = $575
Let us assume the percentage of sales tax taken = x%
Then
(x/100) * 575 = 43.13
5.75x = 43.13
x = 43.13/5.75
   = 7.50 percent
So the percentage of sales tax charged for the sofa was 7.50%.I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. Based on this procedure, similar problems can be done with absolute ease.

Which point does the line with equation y+4=3(x-7) pass through?
gregori [183]
<span>y+4=3(x-7)
y + 4 = 3x - 21
y = 3x - 21 -4
y = 3x - 25

when x = 7
y = 3(7) - 25
y = -4
Therefore (7, -4) pass through this equation </span>

Please help!!! Which equation is in point-slope form and is depicted by the line in this graph?
Blizzard [7]
Y-y1=m(x-x1)
a point on the line is (x1,y1) and the slope is m

so
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so

points (-2,3) and (3,0)
slope is (0-3)/(3-(-2))=-3/(3+2)=-3/5
a point is (3,0) Or (-2,3)

so it could be
y-0=-3/5(x-3) or y-3=-3/5(x-(-2)) which is equal to y-3=-3/5(x+2)
that's the answer

Peter Chibwe works at Company XYZ. The following information relates to his performance at work for a single week Deductions are
Colt1911 [192]

The question is related to Payroll Administration and Management.

Where the weekly gross is $10,000 the Net Pay is $ 7,240 while monthly Net Pay is $ 28,960.00.

<h3>What is Payroll Administration?</h3>

This is defined as the series of task required to organize the compensation an benefits of the employee for the period that they have spent working.

<h3>The solution is given below:</h3>

A) Note that the information given above is for a week. We are not given the gross wage. Hence we'd assume that the gross wage for the week is $10,000.

If gross pay is $10,000, Net Pay is calculated by removing deductions.

Deductions are:

Pension fund = 7.5% of 10,000 = $750

PAYE Tax = 20% of (95% of 10,000) = $1,900 This is because medical aid is non-taxable.

Employee Insurance = 1% of 10,000 = $100

Union Membership = $10

The Total Deduction thus is = 750 + 1,900 + 100 +10 = $2, 760.00

The Net pay =  Gross Pay Less Deductibles

= 10,000-7,760

Thus The Net pay = $ 7,240/Week.

His weekly net wage will be:

7,240 * 4 = $28,960.00/Month

B) The kind of remuneration method used by company XYZ is

Time Rate System. Under the time rate system, the worker is paid per hour, per day, per week, or per month.

It is normally used for workers who are engaged on highly skilled jobs or highly skilled services, for example, equipment testing, or inspection of operations, toolmaking, etc.
