Answer:

The amount of sales tax Joanna will pay is $3.323

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of the backpack =  $37.98

Sales tax = 8.75%

To Find:

Amount of sales tax that Joanna will pay  = ?

Solution:

Sales tax imposed by the government on the goods that are sold or on the services that is provided. It is collected by the seller who sells the goods

Sales tax  =\frac{\text{sales tax percentage}}{100} \times price

On Substituting the values

Sales tax  = \frac{8.75}{100} \times 37.98

sales tax  = 0.0875 \times 37.98

sales tax  = 3.323

Xian and his cousin kai both collect stamps. Xian has 52 stamps, and kai has 76 stamps. The boys recently joined different stamp
Darya [45]

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Xian has 52 stamps and Kai has 76 stamps.

Xian's club will send him 16 new stamps per month and Kai's club will send him 12 new stamps per month.

Suppose, Xian and Kai will have the same number of stamps after x months.

So, the total number of new stamps for Xian = 16x and the total number of new stamps for Kai = 12x

So, the equation will be......

52+16x=76+12x\\ \\ 16x-12x=76-52\\ \\ 4x= 24\\ \\ x=6

Thus, Xian and Kai will have the same number of stamps after 6 months.

The number of stamps for each of them will be: 52+16(6)=148
