Answer:
- $5.60 sales tax
- $75.60 total cost
Step-by-step explanation:
You have correctly found the sales tax to be ...
$70.00 × 0.08 = $5.60 . . . sales tax
The total cost of the item is the selling price with the tax added:
$70.00 +5.60 = $75.60 . . . total cost
Answer:
y=.5x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
If one line is perpendicular to another that means that their slopes are negative reciprocals
which means that the slope (or m in y=mx+b) is .5
so far we have
y=.5x+b
to solve for b we plug in (8,2)
2=.5(8)+b
2=4+b
-2=b
therefore our equation is
y=.5x-2
