A lunch box costs $4.50 plus sales tax. After sales tax, the lunch box is $4.86. What is the sales tax rate?

Alborosie

8 percent (C)

To find 1% you divide 4.50 by 100, which is 0.045.

Then you have to find what is added on.
4.86-4.50 is .36

Now you divide .36 by 0.045. An easier way to do this is 360 divided by 45. This equals 8.

Hope this helped

laiz [17]

Answer:

$12.50 \space\ h = 2500.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from the question that the student earned $12.50 per hour.

Using this information, we can say that if the student worked for h hours, they would make a total of 12.50 × h dollars.

We also know that the total money they earned is $2500.75.

∴ Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

$\boxed {12.50 \times h = 2500.75}$

From here, if we want to, we can find the number of hours worked by simply making h the subject of the equation and evaluating:

h = $\frac{2500.75}{12.50}$

= 200.6 hours

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: The greatest number of rows Li Na can plant is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Li Na is going to plant 63 tomato plants and 81 rhubarb plants.

Li Na would like to plant the plants in rows where each row has the same number of tomato plants and each row has the same number of rhubarb plants.

To find the greatest number of rows Li Na can plant, we need to find the GCF of 63 and 81.

Since , $63=7\times9\ and\ 81=8\times9$

Clearly, GCF(63,81)=9

Therefore, the greatest number of rows Li Na can plant is 9.

A certain four-cylinder combination lock has 50 numbers on it.

It is a four cylinder combination lock

Each cylinder has 50 numbers

So we have to choose 4 numbers for 4 cylinders

_____ , ______ , ______, _____

you turn to a number on the first cylinder

We have 50 numbers so we have 50 combinations

__50___ , ______ , ______, _____

Repetitions are allowed so we do the same for remaining three

50 , 50 , 50 , 50

50 * 50 * 50* 50 = 6250000

There are 6250000 different lock combinations .
