Answer:

$ 2.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sales tax rate = 8\frac{1}{2}\%=8.5\%

The cost of the book is $ 12.99.

So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 12.99

= \frac {8.5}{100}\times 12.99

=1.10

So, the sales tax on the book is $ 1.10.

The cost of the video game is $ 39.99.

So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 39.99

= \frac {8.5}{100}\times 39.99

=3.30

So, the sales tax on the book is $ 3.40.

The difference of taxes on both the items = $ 3.40-$ 1.10=$ 2.30

So, the tax on the video game is $ 2.30 more than then tax on the book.

Y+x=98
y-x=22

I'm going to use elimination. 

y+x=98
y-x=22
-----------
2y+0x=120 SIMPLIFY 2y=120 SIMPLIFY y=60. 

Substitute that into either equation and you get y=60 and x=38

Have a nice day! :)

Solve the question below 77
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

<em>The height of the monument is 124.8 ft</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles</u>

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. The tangent ratio is defined as:

\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}

The figure attached below shows the different distances involved in the problem. We heed to find the value of h, the height from Daniel's eyes. Then we'll add it to the 6 ft where his eyes are located from the ground.

Taking the angle of 68° as a reference:

\displaystyle \tan 68^\circ=\frac{h}{48}

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=48\tan 68^\circ

Calculating:

h = 118.8 ft

The height of the monument is 118.8 ft + 6 ft = 124.8 ft
