Sales tax in City A is 20%. Han paid $14 for his meal before tax. What is the total price of his meal after tax?
1 answer:
Since we know that the sales tax is 20%, we must convert this percent to a decimal. Let's divide by 100 to make it a decimal:
Then we multiply the original price by the tax in decimal form:
So we know that the tax will total $2.80. Then we need to add this to the original price to find the total price of the meal:
Now we know the total price of Han's meal is $16.80.

There will be 72 flowers in total in the large arrangement.
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of red flowers in vase = 4
No. of white flowers in vase = 5
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 4:5
No. of red flowers in large arrangement = 32
No. of white flowers in large arrangement = w
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 32:w
Using proportion;
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers :: Ratio of red flowers to white flowers
Product of extreme = Product of mean
Dividing both sides by 4
Total flowers in large arrangement = Red flowers + white flowers
Total flowers in large arrangement = 32 + 40 =72
There will be 72 flowers in total in the large arrangement.
