Answer:

sales tax rate = 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem formula to express one term in percentage is used

To express x as percentage of y is given by (x/y*100) %

______________________________________________

Cost of item = $480

sales tax = $19.20

we have to find sales tax rate.

sales tax rate is percentage of cost price which will levied as tax .

thus, we have to find sales tax as percentage of cost price.

using the percentage cost as given above

sales tax as percentage = sales tax/ cost of item *100

sales tax as percentage = 19.20/480 *100 = 4%

Thus, sales tax rate is 4%.

It means that if cost price of item is $100 then $4 will be the sales tax for the item.

If x, y, and z are integers greater than 1, and (327)(510)(z) = (58)(914)(xy), then what is the value of x? (1) y is prime (2) x
Virty [35]

Answer:

1) 5

2) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

(3²⁷)(5¹⁰)(z) = (5⁸)(9¹⁴)(x^y)

Now,

on simplifying the above equation

⇒ (3²⁷)(5¹⁰)(z) = (5⁸)((3²)¹⁴)(x^y)

or

⇒  (3²⁷)(5¹⁰)(z) = (5⁸)(3²⁸)(x^y)

or

⇒ (\frac{3^{27}}{3^{28}})(\frac{5^{10}}{5^8})z=x^y

or

⇒(\frac{5^2}{3})z=x^y

or

⇒\frac{5^2}{3}=\frac{x^y}{z}

we can say

x = 5, y = 2 and, z = 3

Now,

(1) y is prime

since, 2 is a prime number,

we can have

x = 5

2) x is prime

since 5 is also a prime number

therefore,

x = 5
