Given : Brandon buys a radio for $45.99 .sales tax rate is 7%.sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services.
Let the price of Radio before the sales tax be $x. Sales tax on $x is 7% x.
Price before sales tax + Amount of sales tax= Cost of Radio.
x+7%x =45.99
Or x+0.07x=45.99
1.07x=45.99
Dividing both sides by 1.07.
x= 41.11
Cost of Radio before tax = $41.11
Sales tax paid = 43.99-41.11= 2.88
Tax paid = $2.90 (To nearest cent)
Number 19 you are comparing one measurement to another. Since it says 1/2 inch equals 4 ft, we want to find out how many more inches are needed if the given scale was 2/3 = 4 ft. Now lets find a common denominator for both scales stated in inches. We have 2/3 inch and 1/2 inch. Our denominator are the bottom parts of the fraction where we need to find a common factor for the denominator so we can add or subtract fractions. We have a 3 and a 2. You may always use the multiplication between two denominators to find a common factor such as 3 times 2 which equals 6 for both denominators. Now we multiplied the 3 by 2 to get 6 so the top part (numerator needs to be multiplied the the 2 because we changed the bottom part by 2 as well. You should notice that when you reduce your fraction now 4/6 is 2/3. Just a self check example there. As for 1/2 we multiplied a 3 to get 6 for the denominator so we need to multiply the numerator by 3 as well. You now should have 4/6 and 3/6. Since the question asks for how many more inches we need to subtract 4/6 from 3/6 and we get 1/6 inch for our answer.
Answer:
4 Pints
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the scenario, calculations are as follows,
As we know, 1 gallon = 8 Pints
1 Quarts = 2 Pints
So, Amelia = 3 Gallons = 3 × 8 Pints = 24 Pints
Mason = 10 quarts = 10 × 2 Pints = 20 Pints
So, Number of more pints Amelia has = Amelia number of pints - Mason number of pints
= 24 pints - 20 pints
= 4 Pints
