Mathematics

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a number.

The statement can be interpreted as:

  • 5 is subtracted <u>from</u> a number : x - 5
  • 3 times a number : 3x
  • A number is greater than 6 : x > 6
  • When 5 is subtracted <u>from</u> 3 times a number, the result is greater than 6 : 3x - 5 > 6

And then we simplify 3x - 5 > 6:

  • 3x - 5 > 6
  • 3x > 11
  • x > 11/3
  • x >  3.666...

To get the smallest whole number satisfying the inequality above, we can take the "ceiling" of 3.66 which is 4.

Note:

The ceiling of a number is the nearest integer (or in this case, nearest whole number) of a number. It can be denoted by ceil(x).

For example, the ceiling of 0.1 is 1. The ceiling of 5 is 5 since 5 itself is a integer.

An item cost $4 before tax and $4.32 after sales tax. What is the sales tax rate?
erma4kov [3.2K]

The sales tax rate of an item that costs $4 is 8%

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
  • An item costs $4 before tax
  • The same item costs $4.32 after sales tax.

So the tax rate can be calculated as:

Tax rate = $4.32 - $4 = $0.32

Next, you must divide the tax rate by the original price in order to get the sales tax rate:

Sales tax rate = $0.32/4$ = 0.08

In percentage:

Sales tax rate % = 0.08x100% = 8%
