Amount of tax on the book (s) is $0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given 6/100 = s/12
Step 2: Cross multiply to solve for s

⇒ 6 × 12 = 100 × s

⇒ 72 = 100s

⇒ s = 72/100 = 0.72

Use the Law of Sines to find the measure of angle J to the nearest degree.

rjkz [21]

$\bf \textit{Law of sines}
\\ \quad \\
\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle A)}{a}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle B)}{b}=\cfrac{sin(\measuredangle C)}{c}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{sin(J)}{9.1}=\cfrac{sin(97^o)}{11}\implies sin(J)=\cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11}
\\\\\\
\textit{now taking }sin^{-1}\textit{ to both sides}
\\\\\\
sin^{-1}\left[ sin(J) \right]=sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11} \right)
\\\\\\
\measuredangle J=sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{9.1\cdot sin(97^o)}{11} \right)$
