To find sales tax on something, multiply the percent of the tax by the price of the item.

Make sure you put the sale tax into decimal form. You do this by taking the percentage and sliding the decimal point two places to the left. Example $60 item cost×0.75 sale tax=4.5 total sales tax.

If (x)=3x-1 and s(x)=2x+1, which expression is equivalent to r over s (6) ?

katrin [286]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{3(6)-1}{2(6)+1}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}\\\\\text{We have}\\\\f(x)=3x-1,\ g(x)=2x+1\\\\\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(x)=\dfrac{3x-1}{2x+1}\\\\\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(6)\to\text{put x = 6 to the equation of the function}\ \left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(x):\\\\\left(\dfrac{f}{g}\right)(6)=\dfrac{3(6)-1}{2(6)+1}$
