The sales tax rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sales tax for an item = $24.50

Cost of item before tax = $490

Sales tax rate = $\frac{Sales\ tax}{Cost\ of\ item}*100\\$

$Sales\ tax\ rate=\frac{24.50}{490}*100\\\\Sales\ tax\ rate=\frac{2450}{490}\\\\Sales\ tax\ rate=5\%$

The sales tax rate is 5%.

Find f(x)+g(x), given f(x)=x^2-8 and g(x)=-2-x^2

Gnoma [55]

$\left(x^2-8\right)+\left(-2-x^2\right)=-10$

$\left(x^2-8\right)+\left(-2-x^2\right)$

$=x^2-8-2-x^2$

$=x^2-x^2-8-2$

$=-8-2$

$=-10$

What is the solution for the equation 14.8 equals n -0.3

vodomira [7]

Hello there!

$14.8=n-0.3$

Answer:

$\boxed{n=15.1=15.0}$

You can also round up to the nearest tenths is 15.1 to 15.0 and its going to be stay.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you had to switch sides of equation form.

$n-0.3=14.8$

Then you add by 0.3 from both sides of equation form.

$n-0.3+0.3=14.8+0.3$

And finally, simplify by equation. You can also cross out by -0.3+0.3 and it gave us equal to zero. Then you add 14.8+0.3 and it equal to 15.1. You had to used their variable and its should be the right answer.

$n=15.1$

Hope this helps!
