$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.

Jake is building a fence around his property. He wants the perimeter to be no more than 100 feet. He also wants the length to be
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

C. 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width

Let y = length

If the length is at least 10 feet longer than the width:

⇒ x + 10 ≤ y

⇒ x ≤ y - 10

If the perimeter is to be no more than 100 ft:

⇒ 2x + 2y ≤ 100

⇒ x + y ≤ 50

⇒ x ≤ 50 - y

Equate the equations for x and solve for y:

⇒ y - 10 = 50 - y

⇒ 2y = 60

⇒ y = 30

Substitute found value of y into one of the inequalities for x:

⇒ x ≤ 30 - 10

⇒ x ≤ 20

Therefore, the maximum possible width of the fence is 20 feet.
