8 0

Answer:

The amount of tax paid is C. $3.20

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take $50.00 and give a 20% discount, we're taking 20% of 50 and then subtracting it from the origional price (50) which brings us down to 40, because 20% of 50 is 10 and we subtract.

Now that we have $40.00, sales tax comes in at a whopping 8%. To calculate the solution of a price with sales tax, we need to find what 8% of $40 is, which after calculations will be 3.20.

Since this question is asking on tax only, our answer is $3.200, C.

Which would be the best name for a function that takes the time of day and returns the numbers of coffee sold at a coffee shop?

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Coffee(time)

Step-by-step explanation:

A function's output variable will be:

output(input)

So we need to find the input variable and the output variable.

We know that when the time of day changes, we get a certain amount of coffee sold. This means that the amount of coffee sold is directly influenced by the time of day.

The time of day then becomes our input as the coffee sold relies on that number.

That leaves coffee sold as our output!

So the best name for a function in this scenario is Coffee(time).

Hope this helped!
