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

Hot dogs and hot dog buns are complements. if the price of a hot dog falls, then
love history [14]
Then the price of hot dog buns would go up, I assume.
If you were the owner of the leading hot dog bun company, and hot dog prices went down, then more people would need to buy hot dog buns. So if you wanted to profit from that you'd raise your prices a little bit to make more money.
