The gross receipts would include the sales profit and the sales tax. We let sales profit be the variable x. The equation we can make from the word problem would be

Gross profit = x + 0.03x = <span>$3554.53

The sales tax is taken as the percentage of the total sales profit. Solving for x,

1.03x = </span>3554.53
x = 3554.53/1.03
x = $3451

The sales tax is equal to
Sales tax = 0.03($3451) = $103.53

lukranit [14]
The order of operations is:

Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

So division comes first:

\sf 15-12\div 3=n

\sf 15-4=n

Now subtraction:

\boxed{\sf n=11}

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The total amount due at the register would be $55.12

Step-by-step explanation:

You will register the price of the product($52) added to the tax(6% of the price of the product, so 6% of $52).

Then

0.06*52 = 3.12

$52 + $3.12 = $55.12

I need help! Will mark brainliest!
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

16) 6%

17) 4 years

18) 2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for these questions is I = PRT

16) 27 = 900 (R) (0.5)

Notice how I used 0.5 instead of 6 for the T. T has to be measured in years, not months and 6 months is half a year.

R = 0.06 = 6 %

17) 480 = 2000 (0.06) (T)

T = 4 years

18) 1080 = 4500 (0.12) (T)

T = 2 years
