Answer:

Sales tax is 8.33 % of new total

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Your bill =1000

New total 60%=1000*60/100=600

5% sale tax on whole bill price =1000*5/100=50

To deduct 5% sale tax in 60% of new total the % are=50/600=0.0833*100=8.33%

So,

Sale tax is 8.33% of new total 60%.

GAMING In a video game, the user navigates a character across an unknown land using a map. On the map, the distance between the

soldi70 [24.7K]

The question is an illustration of scale drawing

The character have to travel 8.5 km in the game to visit all three destinations and return to their starting point

<h3>How to calculate the actual distance</h3>

The distance on the map are given as:

A =2 cm

B = 8 cm

C = 7 cm

The total distance on the map would be:

$Total =2cm + 8cm + 7cm$

$Total =17cm$

The actual distance between the store and the dungeon is 4 kilometers.

This means that:

$B' =4km$

So, we have:

$Scale = B : B'$

$Scale = 8cm : 4km'$

Represent the required actual distance with x.

So, we have:

$17cm : x = 8cm : 4km$

Express as fraction

$\frac{x}{17} = \frac 48$

Multiply both sides by 17

$x = \frac 48 * 17$

$x = 8.5$

Hence, the actual distance travelled is 8.5 km
