What is the sale tax for a purchase of $2,500 and what is the cost of an item with a sales tax of $108?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>4.32%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To solve this, we must know how to find sales tax first. Let's use this equation:

t = p × r

Let t stand for the total amount of sales tax

Let c stand for the purchase

Let r stand for the sales tax rate.

Step 2:

Now, let us plug in what is given. We know that the purchase made cost $2,500:

t = $2,500 x r

Annddd, we also know that the sales tax is $108:

$108 = $2,500 x r

Therefore, our equation is:

$108 = $2,500 x r

Step 3:

We can simplify this to:

$108 = $2,500r

Step 4:

All we need to do is divide each side by 2500 because the goal is get r all by itself

\frac{108}{2500} =\frac{2500r}{2500}

Step 5:

This gives us:

r = 0.0432

Step 6:

We're not done! Since we are dealing with a percentage, we would multiply .0432 by 100% and that gives us our final answer of


4.32% is our sales tax

Ted and Jude are each saving money each month. After x months, the amount of money, in dollars, that Ted has saved is represente
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

True Statements are -

B. In 3 months, Ted will have saved the same amount that Jude saved in 2 months.

D. The total amount of money Jude has saved is always $20 more than the total amount Ted has saved.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Ted and Jude are each saving money each month. After x months, the amount of money, in dollars, that Ted has saved is represented by the

equation T = 40x, and the amount of money that Jude has saved is represented by the equation J = 60x.

To find - Choose all of the statements that are true.

A. Each month, Jude saves two-thirds as much money as Ted saves.

B. In 3 months, Ted will have saved the same amount that Jude saved in 2 months.

C. The amount of money Jude saves each month is $20 more than the amount Ted saves each month.

D. The total amount of money Jude has saved is always $20 more than the total amount Ted has saved.

Proof -

Given that,

After x months,

Ted saved the amount of money, T(x) = 40x

Jude saved the amount of money, J(x) = 60x

Now,

In 1 month,

Ted saved money, T(1) = 40(1) = 40

Jude saved money, J(1) = 60(1) = 60

So,

In 1st month, Jude saved money 20 more than Ted saved.

Now,

In 2 month,

Ted saved money, T(2) = 40(2) = 80

Jude saved money, J(2) = 60(2) = 120

So,

In 2nd month, Jude saved money 40 more than Ted saved.

Now,

In 3 month,

Ted saved money, T(3) = 40(3) = 120

Jude saved money, J(3) = 60(3) = 180

So,

In 3rd month, Jude saved money 60 more than Ted saved.

So,

Option C is incorrect

Because

In 1st month, Jude saves  is $20 more than the amount Ted saves

In 2nd month, Jude saves  is $40 more than the amount Ted saves

Now,

In 1st month,

Ted saves = 40

and

\frac{2}{3}(40) = 26.67

So, Jude will save = 40 + 26.67 = 66.67

But Jude saves 60

So,

Option A is incorrect.

i.e. A. Each month, Jude saves two-thirds as much money as Ted saves.

Now,

We can see that,

In 3 months, Ted will have saved the money = 120

In 2 months, Jude will have saved the money = 120

So,

Option B is correct.

i.e. B. In 3 months, Ted will have saved the same amount that Jude saved in 2 months.

Also,

We can see that

In 1st month, Jude saved money 20 more than Ted saved.

In 2nd month, Jude saved money 40 more than Ted saved.

In 3rd month, Jude saved money 60 more than Ted saved.

So,

Option D is correct.

i.e. D. The total amount of money Jude has saved is always $20 more than the total amount Ted has saved.

∴ we get

True Statements are -

B. In 3 months, Ted will have saved the same amount that Jude saved in 2 months.

D. The total amount of money Jude has saved is always $20 more than the total amount Ted has saved.

For a recent year, 38 more Democrats than Republicans represented a country. If the total number of representatives of the count
Fantom [35]

Second question isn't well formatted

Answer:

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of republicans = x

Number of democrats = x + 38

Total number of representatives from the two parties = 452

Tge number of representatives from each party can be calculated thus ;

Number of democrats + number of republicans = total number of representatives

(x + 38) + x = 452

x + 38 + x = 452

2x = 452 - 38

2x = 414

x = 414 / 2

x = 207

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 207 + 38 = 245

a triangle has a perimeter of 10x+2 . two sides have lengths of 5x and 2x+9 what is the length of the 3rd side
stiks02 [169]
Since all the sides add up to 10x+2, that means that 10x-2-<side1>-<side2>=<side3>. Plugging it in, we have 10x-2-5x-(2x+9)=side3, and 5x-2-(2x+9)=side3, then expanding it to 5x-2-2x-9=3x-11=side3
