Mick would pay $4.06 in sales tax for an item that costs $58.00.

This can be found by working backwards in the problem. By dividing that sales tax paid (2.94) by the dollars before tax (42), you get a percentage that should equal the percentage of the total paid for tax.

2.94 ÷ 42 = 0.07

This means that the sales tax is 7% of the total prior to tax. So we'd then multiply our dollars (58) with the sales tax in decimal form (0.07)

58.00 × 0.07 = 4.06

Hope I could help!

<u>Find Sales Tax Rate:</u>

\text {Sales Tax Rate} =  \dfrac{\text{Sales Tax}}{\text{Original}} \times 100

\text {Sales Tax Rate} =  \dfrac{2.94}{42} \times 100 = 7\%

<u>Find tax for an item that cost $58:
</u>
\text {Sales Tax Rate} = 7\% \text{ of } \$58 = \dfrac{7}{100} \times 58 = \$4.06

Answer: Sales Tax = $4.06

expeople1 [14]

If all three coloured lights blink together at 8:49 pm, they will blink together at 8:50 pm

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that the red light blinks at intervals of 4 seconds, the green at 5 seconds and the white at 6 seconds.

If all three colored lights blink together at 8:49 pm,

We have to find when will they blink together again?

First let us know, at what intervals they all together blink.

For that we have to find the lcm of 4, 5, 6.

L.C.M (4, 5, 6) = 2 x L.C.M(2, 5, 3)

As 2,3,5 are primes, we can’t take common further, so multiply all  

= 2 x 2 x 5 x 3

= 4 x 15  = 60

So, after every 60 seconds = 1 minute they will blink.

Then, after 8 : 49 pm, they will blink at 8 : 49 + 1 = 8 : 50 pm.

Hence, they all blink at 8 : 50 pm.

Written as a simplified polynomial in standard form, what is the result when (3x+7)^2 is subtracted from 3?
nadezda [96]

Given:

(3x+7)^2 is subtracted from 3.

To find:

The result of the given statement in the standard form of the polynomial.

Solution:

We need to find the result when (3x+7)^2 is subtracted from 3.

So, the resulted polynomial can be written as:

P(x)=3-(3x+7)^2

On simplification, we get

P(x)=3-((3x)^2+2(3x)(7)+(7)^2)               [\because (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2]

P(x)=3-(9x^2+42x+49)

P(x)=3-9x^2-42x-49

P(x)=-9x^2-42x-46

Therefore, the resulted polynomial in standard form is -9x^2-42x-46.

Sal the sloth takes one hour to travel 7 1/2 feet. If he continues to travel at the same rate, how long will it take him to trav
pentagon [3]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know he travels at a rate of 1:7.5 all we have to do is divide 7.5 by 30. Do you use proportions? You can set this up as a proportion and the find answer easily.

1\frac{1}{7.5} =\frac{x}{30}

Now we cross product.

7.5 multipled by x  =7.5x

1x30=30

so now we have

7.5x=30

Now we have to divide 7.5 on both sides which gives us

x=4
