The tax is 8.5%.
To find the tax on an item, multiply 8.5% by the price of the item.

t-shirt:
8.5% of $12.99 = 8.5% * $12.99 = 0.085 * $12.99 = $1.10
The tax on the t-shirt is $1.10

pair of jeans:
8.5% of $39.99 = 8.5% * $39.99 = 0.085 * $39.99 = $3.40
The tax on the jeans is $3.40

The difference in the amount of tax is

$3.40 - $1.10 = $2.30

Answer: $2.30

Answer:

$8^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Powers are defined as the number of times you multiply a number by itself. For example, 2 to the 3rd power is 2 multiplied by itself 3 times. 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. You also know that if you multiply two powers of the same base, you add the exponent, and if you raise a power to a different power, you multiply the exponents.

e.g:

$2^2\cdot2^2=2^{2+2}=2^4\\(2^2)^3=2^{2\cdot3}=2^6$

Now, we are asking to use grouping to write 2 to the power 18 as a power of 8. We know 2 to the power 8 is 2 to the power 3, so we have the following equation:

$2^{18}=(2^3)^x$

We know this is now 2 to the power 3x = 2 the power 18, and therefore x = 6, because 3 times 6 is equal to 18. Now, we can just simplify 2 to the third as 8 and we now have:

$8^6$
