Since it includes 11% sales tax, this means that (purchase)+11% of (purchase)=25.00. Since 11% = 0.11 by multiplying it by 1/100, we have 1*purchase+0.11*purchase=1.11*purchase=25.00. Dividing both sides by 1.11, we get around 22.73 as the original purchase. This means that the difference between the purchase price and the total price is the sales tax, which is around 2.27 dollars.

Answer:

The sales tax is $2.48

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a final price of $25.00 wich includes an <u>11% sales tax</u>. In order to know the amount of the tax, we can calculate that <em>a given value x, should have a final price of $25.00</em> wich includes the tax in that amount, not in x, meaning

x=\frac{25}{1+0.11} \Leftrightarrow x=22.52

So, <u>this is the value of the purchase without tax</u>, and the tax is the <em>difference between the final amount, and this value</em>

tax=25-22.52=2.48

Finally, the sales tax is $2.48.

How to reflect over y axis in an equation?
iren [92.7K]
<span>1)  y = -f(x) (This is the reflection about the x-axis of the graph y = f(x).)  That is for every point (x, y) there is a point (x, -y).
</span><span>2)  y = |f(x)| means that the entire graph will be above the x-axis.  Why?  (The absolute value is always positive, that's why!!)<span>  To graph the absolute value graph, graph the function y = f(x).  Anything above the x-axis, stays above it, anything below the x-axis is reflected above the x-axis and anything on the x-axis, stays on the x-axis.
</span></span><span>3)  y = f(-x)  (This is reflection about the y-axis of the graph y = f(x))  For every point on the right of the y-axis, there is a point equidistant to the left of the y-axis.  That is for every point (x, y), there is a point (-x, y).  
</span><span>4)  Reflections about the line y = x is accomplished by interchanging the x and the y-values.  Thus for y = f(x) the reflection about the line y = x is accomplished by x = f(y).  Thus the reflection about the line y = x for y = x2 is the equation x = y2. </span>

What can a set of points tell you about a linear relationship?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

A linear relationship (or linear association) is a statistical term used to describe a straight-line relationship between two variables. Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format or as a mathematical equation of the form y = mx + b.
