An item has a listed price of $80. If the sales tax rate is 7%, how much is the sales tax (in dollars)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Stels [109]3 years ago
7 0

Multiplying a listed price by the percent can get you the sales tax, and then you can add.

80*0.07=5.6

(0.07 is 7% converted into a decimal)

80+5.6=85.60

So the item is $85.60 after sales tax.

You may also notice that multiplying the listed price by 1.07 will get you the same answer, without the need to add the sales tax.

80*1.07=85.60

Hope this helps.

頑張って!

Solve this equation<br> 16(1/4x-1/2)&gt;24-2x
jekas [21]

Answer:

x>14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−4>−2x+24

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−2x+24<−4

Step 3: Subtract 24 from both sides.

−2x+24−24<−4−24

−2x<−28

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x−2<−28−2

x>14

Solve the proportion: 5/x+7=3/x+3
Allushta [10]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

cross multiply

5(x+3)=3(x+7)

5x+15=3x+21

5x+15-3x=3x+21-3x

2x+15=21

2x+15-15=21-15

2x=6

Bones Brothers &amp; Associates prepare individual tax returns. Over prior years, Bones Brothers have maintained careful records
madreJ [45]

Answer:

For this case we have the following info related to the time to prepare a return

\mu =90 , \sigma =14

And we select a sample size =49>30 and we are interested in determine the standard deviation for the sample mean. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And the standard deviation would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{14}{\sqrt{49}}= 2

And the best answer would be

b. 2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

For this case we have the following info related to the time to prepare a return

\mu =90 , \sigma =14

And we select a sample size =49>30 and we are interested in determine the standard deviation for the sample mean. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And the standard deviation would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{14}{\sqrt{49}}= 2

And the best answer would be
