Answer:

A magnitude 8 earthquake is 1,000 times more intense than a magnitude 5 earthquake.

A magnitude 8 earthquake is 108 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while a magnitude 5 earthquake is 105 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and

108 ÷ 105 = 103.

Each unit increase on the Richter scale corresponds to an intensity increase by a factor of 10. So from 5 to 8 on the Richter scale, the intensity increases by 103 = 1,000

Answer:

The answer is $28.56

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 2% sales tax, you need to multiply the 2% or 0.02 by 28.

Doing this will give you 0.56.
