The shoe after 20% discount would be $40.00. 8% of 40.00 is $3.20. The amount of tax paid would be $3.20

Since sales tax goes after the discount, it would be 3 dollars and 20 cents. Taking 50 dollars and 20% is discounted (50*.2), which would be 10 dollars taken off. It would be 40 dollars shoes and then you apply sales tax by multiplying 40 by .08, giving you the amount of tax paid.

Answer:

1: $3$ × $2$

2: $y^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the numbers: $y(^3^*^2)$

$3*2 = 6$

Write it without exponents:

$y * y * y * y *y *y$ so $6y$ .

$(y^3)^2$

Apply exponent rule : $(a^b)^c=a^b^c,$ assuming $a\geq 0$

$(y^3)^2=y^3^*^2$

$=y^3^*^2$

Multiply the numbers: $3 * 2 = 6$

$= y^6$

Hope I helped! If so, may I get Brainliest and a Thanks?

The minute hand of a clock is 8 inches long. To the nearest tenth of an inch, how far does the tip of the minute hand travel as

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The tip of the minute hand travels 20.9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the minute hand of a clock is 8 inches long. And we have to find that how far does the tip of the minute hand travel as the time progresses from 12:00 to 12:25.

So, firstly we will find the circumference of circle;

Circumference of circle (C) = $2\pi r$ {where r is radius of circle}

= $2 \times \pi \times 8$ {given r = 8 inches long}

= $16 \pi$

Now, as we know that the minute hands completes the full circle in 60 minutes, therefore, the length of the arc between time 12:00 to 12:25 represents $\frac{25}{60}$ which is $\frac{5 }{12}$ of the circumference, that means;
