Answer:

$18.48

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a percentage you just multiply the amount x the percentage in decimal form.

17 x 0.087 = 1.479 tax

Then you add that number too the original total.

17+1.479 = 18.479

Then you round to the nearest cent.

18.48

Total:

$18.48

Paladinen [302]

It sells twice as many kitten as lizards:

Kittens sold = 15 x 2 = 30 total kittens.

It sells 6 times the amount of fish:

Fish sold = 6 x 30 = 180 total fish.

Lizards = 15

Kittens = 30

Fish = 180

How many seconds are in 10 hours
enot [183]
There are 60 seconds in a minute.

There are 60 minutes in an hour.

This means that there'd be 600 minutes in 10 hours.

And if there are 60 seconds in a minute, there are 600 x 60 seconds in 600 minutes.

600 x 60 = 600 x 10 x 6 = 6000 x 6 = 36000

So we know that there are 36000 seconds in 10 hours.

25 is what percent less than 35
mars1129 [50]
Difference between 25 and 35 = 35 -25
                                                 = 10
Then
percentage by which 25 is less than 35 =(10/35) * 100
                                                                 = (2/7) * 100
                                                                 = 200/7
                                                                 = 28.57 percent
So 25 is 28.57% less than 35.This is the only clear way of solving these kind of problems. I hope you have understood the method used to solve this problem. Hopefully you can do such type of problems without needing any help.
