The answer to Part A is 2 15/32
STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)

Answer:
A).Amount = $218250
B). Amount = $88700
Step-by-step explanation:
A) .$5000 in an account at age 23, and withdraw it 42 years
Number of years t= 42 years
Principal P = $5000
Rate r= 9%
Number of times compounded n= 42
A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)
A= 5000(1+0.09/42)^(42*42)
A= 5000(1+0.002143)^(1764)
A= 5000(1.002143)^1764
A= 5000(43.65)
A= 218250
Amount = $218250
B).waits 10 years before making the deposit, so that it stays in the account for only 32 years
Number of years t= 32 years
Principal P = $5000
Rate r= 9%
Number of times compounded n= 32
A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)
A= 5000(1+0.09/32)^(32*32)
A= A= 5000(1+0.0028125)^(1024)
A= 5000(1.0028125)^1024
A= 5000(17.74)
A= 88700
Amount = $88700
