1) The sales tax for the toilet paper is $0.17.

2) The price of the coat is $43.63 and the sales tax is $2.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the cost of the toilet paper be 'a'

Sales tax = 5.125%

Total cost = $3.50

Total cost = price+ 5.125% of price

3.50 = a + (5.125 x a/100)

3.50 = (100a + 5.125a) /100

350 = 105.125a

a = 350/105.125

a = $3.33

Sales tax = 3.50 - 3.33

= $0.17

The sales tax for the toilet paper is $0.17.

2)let the price of the coat be 'a'

cost of the coat = $45.87

Cost = a + 5.125% a

45.87 = a + (5.125/100) a

45.87 = ( 100a + 5.125a) /100

4587 = 105.125a

a = 4587/105.125

a = $43.63

Sales tax = 45.87 - 43.63

= $2.24

The price of the coat is $43.63 and the sales tax is $2.24

Alex and his friend Kim made a one-gallon pitcher of lemonade because it was so hot. They drank 5 glasses that each help 2 cups
natulia [17]

we know that

4 cups of lemonade = 1 quart

1 gallon of lemonade = 4 quarts

1 gallon of lemonade = 16 cups

Step 1

<u>  find the amount of lemonade that's left expressed in cups</u>

5 glasses * 2 cups = 10 cups  

16 cups - 10 cups = 6 cups.  

There are 6 cups of lemonade left.  

Step 2

<u>  find the amount of lemonade that's left expressed in  quarts:  </u>

4 cups = 1 quart.  

(6 cups divided by 4 cups will equal the quarts.)  

6/4=1.5

6 cups = 1.5 quarts.  

There are 1.5 quarts of lemonade left.  

Step 3

<u>  find the amount of lemonade that's left expressed in gallons  </u>

4 quarts = 1 gallon.  

(1.5 quarts divided by 4 quarts will equal the gallon)  

1.5/4=0.375

1.5 quarts = 0.375 gallon.  

There is 0.375 gallon left of lemonade.
