First you need to turn 9.5% into a decimal so you need to move the dot " . " over to the left two times 9.5 ---> .95 ---> .095
Now that you turned the % into a decimal all thats left to do is multiply .095 by $97.95
$97.95 * .095= $9.30525 or $9.31
So the tax is $91.31

Answer:

$9.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an amount of $97.95, if tax of 9.5% is charged, the amount of tax charged is expressed as 9.5% of $97.95, i.e;

9.5% × $97.95

= 9.5/100 × $97.95

= 0.095× $97.95

= $9.30

This shows that a tax of $9.30 was charged on $97.95

For each order pair (x,y) , determine whether it is a solution to the inequality 4x-6y_< - 18

anyanavicka [17]

Solution:

Given:

$4x-6y\leq-18$

To determine if an ordered pair is a solution, we substitute the x and y-values into the inequality and check if it is true.

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ the point }(-9,-2) \\ x=-9,y=-2 \\ 4x-6y\leq-18 \\ 4(-9)-6(-2)=-36+12=-24 \\ Since\text{ }-24$

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ the point }(0,3) \\ x=0,y=3 \\ 4x-6y\leq-18 \\ 4(0)-6(3)=0-18=-18 \\ Since\text{ }-18=-18,\text{ then }(0,3)\text{ is a solution} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ the point }(5,-3) \\ x=5,y=-3 \\ 4x-6y\leq-18 \\ 4(5)-6(-3)=20+18=38 \\ Since\text{ }38>-18,\text{ then }(5,-3)\text{ is not a solution} \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ the point }(8,5) \\ x=8,y=5 \\ 4x-6y\leq-18 \\ 4(8)-6(5)=32-30=2 \\ Since\text{ }2>-18,\text{ then }(8,5)\text{ is not a solution} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the correct answers are selected as shown below;
