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

chris can be paid in one of two ways. plan a is a salary of $370 per month, plus a commission of 8% of sales. plan b is a salary
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

For a sale value greater than $7200 the plan a is profitable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume for a sale of $x, Chris will choose plan a.

Now, in plan a, a commission of 8% of sales and $370 per month, is the salary.

So, for a sale of $x the salary is $(370 + 0.08x) per month.

And, in plan b, a commission of 3% of sales and $730 per month, is the salary.

So, for a sale of $x the salary is $(730 + 0.03x) per month.

Now, for selecting plan a, the condition is  

(370 + 0.08x) > (730 + 0.03x)

⇒ 0.05x > 360

⇒ x > 7200

Therefore, for a sale value greater than $7200 the plan a is profitable. (Answer)

Given a right triangle with legs a, b and hypotenuse c, solve for b if a= 72 and c= 75
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The answer is a. 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question by using Pythagoras theorem to relate the sides of a right angled triangle.

Here,

Hypotenuse of the given triangle(c)=75

Two sides of right angled triangle are:

a=72

b=?

Then,

for a given right angled triangle abc,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

c=\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }

Squaring on both sides,

c^{2} =a^{2}+b^{2}

or,75^{2}=72^{2}+b^{2}

or, b^{2}=75^{2}-72^{2}

or,b^{2}=5625- 5184

or,b^{2} =441

∴b=21

So, the value of b is obtained to 21 by the use of Pythagoras theorem.
