Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the tax percent was x%. Then, we can write the equation:

4.75 + x% * 4.75 = 5.13

Notice that both terms on the left have 4.75 so factor that out:

4.75 * (1 + x%) = 5.13

Divide both sides by 4.75:

1 + x% = 5.13/4.75 = 1.08

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x% = 0.08

Remember that % simply means "out of 100", so x% = x/100:

x/100 = 0.08

Multiply both sides by 100:

x = 8

Thus, the tax rate is 8%.

Hope this helps!

the coordinate of I :

H = 8+I /2

It should be D: 35. 14 + 6 = 20. I just multiplied that by two, which equals 40. That means there are 2 sets of 14 and 2 sets of 6. Since there is 10 leftover, I divided both by 2. 7 + 3 = 10. 14 x 2 = 28 + 7 = 35
