Answer: $4.52

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, sales tax rate is $8.25 per $100, this means that for every $100 item sold, $8.25 will be paid as sales tax.

Sales tax for 54.80 = x

Step 2: write the equation as;

8.25 = $100

Sales tax for $1 item will be (divide both sides by 100

$8. 25/ 100 = $0.0825

Step 3: determine the sales tax on $1 item, that is if sales tax $1 item = $0.0825

Sales tax for $54.80 item will be 0.0825 x 54.80

= $4.52

A moose population is growing exponentially following the pattern in the table shown below. Assuming that the pattern continues,
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

  •   <u> 7,692 moose.</u>

Explanation:

The table that shows the pattern for this question is:

Time (year) Population

  0                   40

  1                     62

  2                    96

  3                   149

  4                   231

A growing exponentially pattern may be modeled by a function of the form P(x) = P₀(r)ˣ.

Where P₀ represents the initial population (year = 0), r represents the multiplicative growing rate, and P(x0 represents the population at the year x.

Thus you must find both P₀ and r.

<u>1) P₀ </u>

  Using the first term of the sequence (0, 40) you get:

   P(0) = 40 = P₀ (r)⁰ = P₀ (1) = P₀

Then, P₀ = 40

<u>  2) r</u>

Take two consecutive terms of the sequence:

  • P(0) = 40 r⁰ = 40
  • P(1) = 40 r¹ = 40r = 62
  • P(1) / P(0) = 40r / 40 = 62/40
  • r = 62/40 = 1.55

 

You can verify that, for any other two consecutive terms you get the same result: 96/62 ≈ 149/96 ≈ 231/149 ≈ 1.55

<u>3) Model</u>

 

Thus, your model is P(x) = 40(1.55)ˣ

<u> 4) Population of moose after 12 years</u>

  • P(12) = 40 (1.55)¹² ≈ 7,692.019 ≈ 7,692, which is round to the nearest whole number.
