$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.

Solve number problem 8
butalik [34]

Two consecutive odd integers have a difference of 2. If you let the smaller one of them be x, the other one is x + 2.

Their sum is -36, so add x and x + 2, and set equal to -36. Then solve for x to find the smaller one. Finally, 2 more than x is the greater of the two integers.

x + x + 2 = -36

2x + 2 = -36

2x = -38

x = -19

The smaller one of the two integers is -19.

x + 2 = -19 + 2 = -17

The greater of the two integers is -17.

Answer: The integers are -19 and -17.

Answer:

Lead-the-market pay strategies. An employer may choose to establish an internal compensation strategy that is in excess of the pay rates in the prevailing marketplace. This compensation strategy may increase the supply of candidates, increase selection rates of qualified applicants, decrease employee turnover, increase morale and productivity, or prevent unionization efforts. However, prior to implementing a lead compensation strategy, an organization should carefully consider what benefits it expects to realize from such a strategy, keeping in mind that this type of structure has the greatest propensity of increasing overall labor costs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Watermelons are .68 / lb and tomatoes are 3.25 / lb.

Let w = watermelon weight and tomato weight.

An equation would be:

.68w + 3.25t = Total cost

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:38 min

Given

Cutting time t_1=14 min

Assembly Line time t_2=24 min

t_3=18 to move a batch of rugs from cutting to assembly

Value-added refers to a process or phase in a system that turns raw materials or work in progress into much more desirable goods and services for downstream consumers.

thus value added time is t_1+t_2=14+24 =38 min
