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.

Answer:

"the sum of the cube of 6x and 2"

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that only the expression of 6x is being cubed, not the entire expression of (6x)³ + 2.

The first blank must apply to both these terms 6x and 2, so the word can't be cubed. Instead, because we're finding the sum of these two, the word should be "sum".

The second blank should apply to only the 6x because we've already described the relationship of 6x and 2. So, since we are cubing 6x, the word here should be "cube".

The final sentence should read:

"the sum of the cube of 6x and 2"

Answer:

You would plot the following points, remembering that they’re in the form (x,y) = (time, height):

(1,35) (2,60) (3,92) (4,120) (5,175)

The ordered pairs would be closer together, and there would be 4 times more of them if you were to measure every 15 seconds instead. You would have a line with more points that were closer together.
