We have been given that Mr. Luis wants to sell his house. The state he lives in charges a 3.5% sales tax on the sale of a house. The county charges a 3.9% sales tax, and the city charges a 2.2% sales tax.
We are asked to find the total tax, if Mr Luis sells his home for $122,500.
To find total tax, we will add all tax rates as they are being applied to same base.
Now we will find 9.6% of $122,500 to find total tax bill.

Answer:
The actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The map key indicates that 4.5 cm is equivalent to 75 cm.
Now, to find the actual distance between the cities if the cities are 12.7 cm apart on the map.
Let the actual distance be .
So, we set a proportion to find the actual distance:
4.5:12.7 = 75:x.
<em>Changing into fractions.</em>
<em>By cross multiplication we get:</em>
<em>Dividing both sides by 4.5 we get:</em>
Therefore, the actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.
