Answer:

The sales tax rate of an item that costs $4 is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

An item costs $4 before tax

The same item costs $4.32 after sales tax.

So the tax rate can be calculated as:

Tax rate = $4.32 - $4 = $0.32

Next, you must divide the tax rate by the original price in order to get the sales tax rate:

Sales tax rate = $0.32/4$ = 0.08

In percentage:

Sales tax rate % = 0.08x100% = 8%

Answer:

C. y = 50x + 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

100 miles in 2 hours is 100/2 = 50 miles per hour. Multiplying that rate by x hours gives the miles traveled in addition to the 3.5 miles so far. The appropriate equation for miles traveled is ...

y = 50x +3.5 . . . matches choice C

Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π).

jekas [21]

First you must know that for remarkable angles: cos (0) = 1, cos (π) = - 1, cos (π / 2) = 0, cos (3π / 2) = 0, cos (2π) = 1. Then, by simple substitution in the given formula, you can find the solutions of x. Which for the interval [0, 2π) are: x = π, x = pi divided by two and x = three pi divided by two.Attached solution.
