Answer:
Total items = $39.90
Sales tax amount = $3.7905
Total cost = $43.691
The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items
Step-by-step explanation:
Dress = $24.95
Skirt = $14.95
steps the clerk completed.
Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90
Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40
Correct steps:
Total items = dress + skirt
= $24.95 + $14.95
= $39.90
Sales tax = 9.5%
Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total
= 9.5/100 × $39.90
= 0.095 × 39.90
= $3.7905
Total cost = Total + sales tax amount
= $39.90 + $3.7905
= $43.6905
To the nearest hundredth
= $43.691
Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items
Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax
3.674234614 is the greatest
Answer:
(-2+-5) equals -7.
Because the signs are the same, we dont change it.
(3+5) equals 8. Same like the other equation, the signs are the same so we do not change it.
Now we do (-7+8) The answer will be 1. Lets use a little graph since its hard to explain.
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Mark -7 anyway you want. (Circle it, draw a line under it, what ever you want.)
Now Move the line 8 times.
When you do that your line will stop at 1.
And thats how you do it.
