Answer:
a - 6%
b - $7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer for a
the only items that had sales tax were $3.00 and $0.50. The total tax for the both was $0.21 so you can find what percent 0.21 is of 3.00 + 0.50 o 3.50. Do this by dividing the percent you are looking for, 0.21, by what it is the percent of 3.50. 0.21 / 3.50 = 0.06. then you multiply the number you got, in this case 0.06 by 100 to find the percentage so it is 6%
The answer for b
Here you can just take the subtotal, $13.00, and subtract all the other prices and you will be left with the price of the top. 13.00 - 3.00 - 2.00 - 0.50 = 7.50. So the answer is $7.50
For this case we have that by definition, the density is given by:

Where:
M: It is the mass of the diamond
V: It is the volume of the diamond
According to the data of the statement we have:

So the volume is:

Thus, the volume of the diamond is approximately 
Answer:

Here is the value of each decimal digit value
.4⇒ tenths place
.01⇒hundredths place
.006,thousandths place
So .416 is .416 rounded since there is nothing to round to
In other words, its already rounded to the nearest thousandths
Its kinda a trick question to make sure you know your place values
28 to 42 means 28/42
We now reduce 28/42 to lowest terms.
28 ÷ 7 = 4
42 ÷ 7 = 6
We now have 4/6.
We now reduce 4/6.
4 ÷ 2 = 2
6 ÷ 2 = 3
Final answer: 2/3
