Given:
The formula for total cost is

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.
To find:
The the tax rate. 
Solution:
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,
Total cost (T) = $14.77
Price of item (p) = $14
Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get



Multiply both sides by 100.

Divide both sides by 14.


Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
first one 
Step-by-step explanation:
 
        
             
        
        
        
La of sine:
sinC/c = sinB/b==> sin  37°/8 = sin B/12 ==> sin B = 0.903
arcsinB or sin⁻¹ B = 64.5°, & sin (B°) = sin (180° - B°), then
sin(64.5) = sin(180°-64.5°) ==> B = 64.5° or 115.5°
