Answer: $44.10</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
5% = 5/100 = 0.05
5% of 42 = 0.05*42 = 2.10
tax = $2.10
total cost including tax = $42 + $2.10 = $44.10
----------
An alternative is to multiply 42 by 1.05 to get
1.05*42 = 44.10
We get the same answer. The 1.05 refers to 1 + 0.05 where the "1" is 100% and the 0.05 is 5%, so the two combine to 105%, meaning the total cost is 105% of the cost before tax is considered.
3/20, or 0.15 of the shirts each evening
1 - 1/4 = 3/4
(3/4) / 5 = (3/4) / (5/1) = (3/4) x (1/5) = 3/20 = 0.15
There's a strong negative association between the two variables.
