Answer:

Tax amount: $15.17

Tax rate: 12.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax amount:

Selling Price - Cost of Item = Tax Amount

$137.17 - $122 = $15.17

Tax rate:

Tax Rate * (Item Price) = Total Cost

Tax Rate * $122 = $137.17

Divide both sides by $122 to isolate the Tax Rate

Tax Rate ≅ 1.12434 (Subtract one and multiply by 100 to get the actual Tax Rate)

Tax Rate = 12.44%

Answer:

The tax amount is 15.17$

The tax rate is 12.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we subtract the cost from the selling price.

137.17 - 122 = 15.17

We have found the tax amount, now for the tax rate.

If tax rate is x, then

122 * x = 137.17

Divide both sides by 122 to get

x = 137.17/122 = 1.124, or .124.

Then convert into percentage by moving the decimal to the right 2 times.

.124 = 12.4%

Hope this helps you

Arisa [49]
There are 26 possible lowercase letters, 26 possible uppercase letters, and 10 possible numbers (0-9). 26+26+10=62 That means there's a 1/62 chance that they get one letter right. But there's 15 letters. They're chance would decrease each time to get it exact. 1/62 divided by 15/1 = 1/832 So there is a 1 in 832 chance that the hacker guesses it correct first try with that information.

vazorg [7]

Solution -

A student who was skeptical about this value decided to conduct a survey by randomly sampling 36 students. On average, the sampled students slept 6.6 hours per night.

The sample mean is the average of the 36 sampled students, which is 6.6 hours. So 6.6 represents the <u><em>sample mean.</em></u>

College newspaper stated that college students get an average of 7 hrs of sleep each night.

The claimed population mean is the stated average from the newspaper article, which is 7 hrs.  So 7 represents the <u><em>claimed population mean.</em></u>
