Help please!!!!!! I don’t know how to do this

Arturiano [62]

First of all, let's note the sales tax rates in each town. In Washington, we know it's 6%. In the town in Virginia, it's 5%. In the town in Maryland, it's 9%.

Let's figure out the total taxes in every town by applying the sales tax rate for each town.

To add percents to a whole number, we always multiply using 0.XX (example: to add 1% to a the number 100, we would multiply 100*0.01 and get the answer 1. We'd then add the 1 to the original number, 100, and get 101.)

In this case, we need to multiply the $1000 by the sales tax in Washington, 6%.

1000 x 0.06 = 60. Now, we add the 60 to the original number (1000), and get 1060. Now we know the total tax in Washington on the computer will be $60, and the total price we will pay is $1060.00

For Virginia, the sales tax is 5%. Let's add the 5% using the same method we used in the equation above.

1000 x 0.05 = 50. Now, add the 50 to the original 1000, and we get 1050. Now we know that the total tax in Virginia is going to be $50, and the total price that we'll pay in Virginia is $1050.00.

On to the final town, Maryland. In Maryland, the sales tax rate is 9%. Let's use the same formula again.

1000 * 0.09 = 90. Now that we have the 90, we add it to the original 1000, and we get 1090. In Maryland the total sales tax will be $90, and the total price we'll pay is $1090.00.

Now, let's complete the question by answering the 3 parts.

To spend the least amount total Amir should buy the computer in Virginia ($1050.00).

Amir would pay the most sales tax in Maryland ($90.00).

Amir would pay $60 sales tax in Washington, DC.

I hope this answer was in depth enough to help you out so that you can do this on your own in the future. :)

Find the area of the composite figure.

Viefleur [7K]

The area of the composite figure from the image attached is 112.5 units²

<h3>What is the area of a composite figure?</h3>

The area of a composite figure refers to the sum total of all the areas of the shapes in that composite figure. This can be done by first identifying the shapes in that composite figure, then finding each area, followed by the addition of all the areas to determine the area of the composite figure.

From the given figure; we can break it down into:

A parallelogram
A rectangle
A triangle

The area of a parallelogram = b × h

where;

b & h refers to the length of the two opposite diagonal lines.

The area of a parallelogram = 9 × 6

The area of a parallelogram = 54 units²

The area of a rectangle = Length × breadth

The area of a rectangle = (9 × 3) units²

The area of a rectangle = 27 units²

The area of the triangle $\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b \times h}$

where;

Base = b
Height = h

The area of the triangle $\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b \times h}$

The area of the triangle $\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9 \times 7}$

The area of the triangle $\mathbf{= 31.5 units^2}$

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is:

= 54 + 27 + 31.5

= 112.5 units²
