Answer:
a - 6%
b - $7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer for a
the only items that had sales tax were $3.00 and $0.50. The total tax for the both was $0.21 so you can find what percent 0.21 is of 3.00 + 0.50 o 3.50. Do this by dividing the percent you are looking for, 0.21, by what it is the percent of 3.50. 0.21 / 3.50 = 0.06. then you multiply the number you got, in this case 0.06 by 100 to find the percentage so it is 6%
The answer for b
Here you can just take the subtotal, $13.00, and subtract all the other prices and you will be left with the price of the top. 13.00 - 3.00 - 2.00 - 0.50 = 7.50. So the answer is $7.50
From the graph: there are 200 students overall. For the next 100, we can divide each number by 2 to find an estimate for how many with participate in MATH tutoring. 40 divided by 2 =20 students participating in MATH tutoring.
Part B- There are currently 55 students out of 200 in SCIENCE tutoring. We add 55 more for 400 = 110, add 55 more for 600=165, and then add half of 55 (27.5 or 28 because you CANNOT have half a student) for 700 students total. 55+55+55+28=193 students.
