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.

25 out of 27 as a percentage
Basile [38]
25/27 = 0.925925925...

It's almost equal to 1 and it turns out that 1 is 100%.

So, we'd say that it's equal to:

92.59% (to 2 decimal places)

We've multiplied the value above (25/27) by 100.

If y = 8 cm, what is the area of the blue section of this shape?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

56 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first: Cop one triangle off the rectangle, and attach it to the other one, so the shape looks like a L

Now I can actually solve this:

The left side is 8 cm (because y = 8 cm)

The top is 10 cm

The middle is 6 cm

The inside left is 3 cm

And the very bottom is 2 cm

First, we'll solve for the newly constructed rectangle: 3 x 2. That equals 6.

Next, solve for the longer rectangle: 10 x 5. That's 50.

Now, add the two areas, and we get 56. So the area of the whole thing is 56 cm squared.

(Please keep in mind that I could be wrong, so double check it for me, thanks!)
