Let x =  price of the bike before a sales tax.

The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars

Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50

Answer: 158.50

For 12 feet in Serika's real house, the model is 12 * (2"/3') = 8 inches

Area of carpeting needed in Serika's dollhouse = 12" * 8" = 96 square inches

The roller coaster could be represented by the function for Choice D.

If you were to graph this function, you would find that the zeros (x-intercepts) of the function are at the points of -2 and 1. Those are the needed points in the problem.

Since this is a parabola that opens upward, the parabola must be below the axis (or support bar) between those values.
