The fraction 22/7 has a value of 3.142857, so it has the same first three digits as pi. Both 3.14 and 22/7 are approximations of pi. In fact, 22/7 is close to pi than 3.14 is. Pi is irrational. That is, the decimal expansion never ends and never repeats, so any number of decimal places we wrote out is an approximation. The approximation 3.14 is about 1/2 percent off from the true value, and the fairly well know 3.141559 is within 0.000084 percent.
<em><u>Problem One</u></em>
Remark
You don't pay a sales tax until cash is exchanged for goods or services.
So what is 70% off
Solution
Sale price = given price * (100% - 70%)
Sale Price = 72 * 30%
Sale Price = 72 * 30/100
Sale Price = 72 * 0.3
Sale Price = 21.6 dollars.
The sales tax is 5% of this amount
21.6 * 5/100 = 1.08
The total cost is = 21.6 + 1.08 = 22.68
Problem Two
If they marked up 100%, effectively they doubled the price.
New Price = old price + 100% of old price.
New Price = 48.50 + 48.50 = 97 dollars.
The sales tax is 6% * 97 = 6/100 * 97 = 5.82
Total Cost = Cost of item + Tax
Total Cost =97 + 5.82
Total Cost = 102.82 Answer <<<<
