In the question it is already given that 4 items are being purchased and their individual rates are also given. the percentage of tax that needs to be paid is also given. To find the total amount of tax that has to be paid, you can either calculate the taxes on individual items and then add them or you can add the total amount required for the 4 items and then calculate the tax. Both will yield the same result but the second process is easier.
Cost of all the 4 items purchased = (2.50 + 8.75 + 3.00 + 10.25)
                                                       = 24.50
Percentage of tax that needs to be paid = 6%
Amount of tax that needs to be paid = (6/100) * 24.50
                                                           = 147/100
                                                           = 1.47
So the amount of tax that needs to be paid is 1.47.

Setler [38]

Answer:

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope: [7- (-1)]/ [5 - (-4)] = 8/9

Using (-4, -1)

y-(-1) = 8/9[x- (-4)]

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Korey is planning to open a comic book store. He has developed the following expense breakdown for set-up and operation for the
pentagon [3]
The total amount of cash money that Korey have is the summation of his savings and his inheritance which is equal to Korey cash = $8500 + $25,000.
To identify the amount needed to be funded by loans or investors, we need to know first the total of expenses plus set-up plus operation expenses and other expenses to operate the bookstore subtracted by his savings.

Thus, let "AL" be the amount needed through loans while letting "TE" for total expenses.

AL=TE-($8500+$25000)
AL=TE-$33,500

This is the equation needed to determine the amount needed.

Mika can eat 21 hot dogs in 6 minutes. She wants to know how many minutes (m) it would take her to eat
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The answer is 10 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the known amount of time to a fraction.

6/21 (min over hot dogs).

Set up a proportion.

6/21 = m/35 (m being the number of minutes)

Cross multiply.

210 = 21m

Solve for m. (divide each side by 21)

m = 10

I hope this helps! :)
