$8.64 -$8.00= $0.64

$0.64/ $8.00* 100%= 8%

The sales tax rate is 8%~

Selling price of a pack of cinnamon scented pencils = $8
Cost of the pack of pencils along with tax = $8.64
Then
Amount of tax taken = (8.64 - 8.00) dollars
                                 = 0.64 dollars
Percentage of sales tax taken = (0.64/8.00) * 100
                                                 = 64/8
                                                 = 8 percent
So the rate of sales tax for the pack of cinnamon scented pencils is 8%. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can use this method for solving similar problems without requiring any help from outside.

A company makes and sells charm bracelets. The cost of producing x bracelets is represented by the function C(x) = 180 + 8x. The
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be, No of bracelets the company must sell to break even would be 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue is given by the function as:

R(x) = 20x

and Cost is given by the function as:

C(x) = 180 + 8x

Let the function P(x) represent the profit earned.

We know that Profit is equal to Revenue - Cost

i-e  

Profit = Revenue - Cost

So,

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Now substituting the Revenue and cost values in the above equation.

P(x) = 20x - (180 + 8x)

P(x) = 20x -180 -8x

P(x) = 20x - 8x -180

P(x) = 12x - 180

Now if we want to find out the break even point, we would consider profit as Zero, 0. So substituting 0 in the above equation for Profit, we will get:

0 = 12x - 180

12x = 180

x = 180/12

x = 15

So the break even point will be 15 bracelets.
