Answer:

Colleen pays 8 cents more in taxes than Brad

Step-by-step explanation:

We should find the money each of them pay in taxes.

Colleen

Buys a movie for $20 and pays 7% sales tax.

That is, she has to pay in taxes 7% of $20.

So she pays 0.07*20 = $1.40 in taxes

Brad

Brad buys the same movie for $22 and pays 6% sales tax.

That is, he has to pay in taxes 6% of $22.

So he pays 0.06*22 = $1.32 in taxes

Collen pays more. She pays $1.40-$1.32 = $0.08 = 8 cents more.

After a storm, 135 trees out of 180 were left standing. What is the percentage loss of the number of trees?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Percentage loss of the number of trees is 25\%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: After a storm, 135 trees out of 180 were left standing.

To find: What is the percentage loss of the number of trees?

Solution:

We have,

Total number of trees =180

Number of trees left standing =135

Therefore, loss of trees=180-135=45

We now that \text {Loss\%}=\frac{\text{Number of trees left}}{\text{Total number of trees}}\times 100 \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=\frac{45}{180}\times 100 \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=\frac{450}{18} \%

\implies \text {Loss\%}=25 \%

Hence, the percentage loss of the number of trees is 25\%.
