Donis bought a t-shirt for $15 and jeans for $35.50. If the sales tax rate is 8.25%. What is the sales tax for the t-shirt and j

SOVA2 [1]

<h3>Answer: 4 dollars and 17 cents</h3><h3>This is the same as saying $4.17</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

15+35.50 = 50.50 dollars is the total before tax is applied.

Take 8.25% of this to get

0.0825*50.50 = 4.16625

and this rounds to 4.17, which is the amount of sales tax charged.

$4.17 = 4 dollars + 17 cents

---------

Extra info:

The grand total will be 50.50+4.17 = 54.67

Another way to get the grand total is to multiply 1.0825 by the previous subtotal (50.50) getting 50.50*1.0825 = 54.66625 and that rounds to 54.67

The multiplier 1.0825 effectively means "increase by 8.25%"

If Ben invests $4500 at 4% interest per year, how much additional money must he invest at 5 1/2% annual interest to ensure that

pogonyaev

$Step \; 1: \; Assing \; variable \; for \; the \; unknown \; that \; we \; need \; to \; find.\\Let \; x \; be \; additional \; money \; invested$

$Step \; 2: \; Use \; the \; appropriate \; formula \; of \; simple \; interest \; set \; up \; an \; equation\\Interest \; earned \; each \; year = \; Amount \; invested \times annual \; rate \; of \; interest\\\\Amount \; invested \; in \; 4 \% \; rate \; of \; interest=\$4500\\Amount \; invested \; in \; 5\frac{1}{2}\% \; rate \; of \; interest= \$x\\Amount \; invested \; totally \; in \; 4\frac{1}{2}\% \; rate \; of \; interest = \$(4500+x)$

$Interest \; earned \; in \; 4\% \; interest \; rate\\ = \; 4500(4\%)=180\\Interest \; earned \; in \; 5\frac{1}{2}\% \; interest \; rate\\ = x(5\frac{1}{2}\%)=0.055x\\Interest \; earned \; totally \; in \; 4\frac{1}{2}\% \; interest \; rate = (4500+x)(4\frac{1}{2}\%)\\=0.045(4500+x)$

$\\\\So, \; the \; equation \; would \; be:\\180+0.055x=0.045(4500+x)$

$Step \; 1: \; Distribute \; 0.045 \; in \; the \; right \; side\\180+0.055x=202.5+0.045x\\\\Step \; 2: \; Subtract \; 0.045x \; and \; 180 \; on \; both \; sides \; to \; get \; x \; alone\\0.055x-0.045x=202.5-180\\\\Step \; 3: \; Combine \; Like \; Terms\\0.01x=22.5\\\\Step \; 4: Divide \; 0.01 \; on \; both \; sides\\\frac{0.01x}{0.01}=\frac{22.5}{0.01}\\\\Step \; 5: \; Simplifying \; fraction \; on \; both \; sides\\x=2250$

$\underline{Conclusion:}\\Ben \; should \; invest \; additional \; money \; of \; \$2250$
