$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.

There are $5$ girls and $5$ boys in a chess club. The club holds a round-robin tournament in which every player plays against ev

Nadusha1986 [10]

To get the total number of games possible, we will use the combination formula.
Total number of games : $_{10}C_{2}$ = 45

Total of 45 games in the whole tournament.

Meanwhile, if there would be boy-versus-boy, we will have $_{5}C_{2}$
The answer is 10.

The fraction for boy-versus-boy game will be 10/45 or 2/9 when simplified.

Which of the following are identities?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

A and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

(sin(x-y))/(cosxcosy)

(sinxcosy - cosxsiny) / cosxcosy

= sinx / cosx - siny/cosy

= tanx - tany.

So A is an identity.

B. (sin(x+y))/(sinxsiny)

= sinx cosy + cosx siny / sinxsiny

= cosy/siny + cosx/sinx

= 1/tany + 1/tanx which is not identical with 1-tanxtany.

C. tan ( x - pi/4) = ( tan x - 1) / (1 + tanx) : - not identical to tanx - 1.

D. cos( x + (pi/6) = cosxcos(pi/6) - sinxsin(pi/6)

= 0.866cosx - 0.5sinx

- sin(x - (pi/3) = -(sinxcos(pi/3) - cosxsin(p/3))

= - (0.5sinx - 0.866cosx0

= 0.866cos x - 0.5sinx.

which are identical.
