<h3>Answer: 80.58 dollars</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = amount of money collected before tax is added

3% = 3/100 = 0.03

3% of x = 0.03x = amount of tax

x + 0.03x = adding on tax to original amount

1.03x = amount after tax is added

1.03x = 2766.58

x = 2766.58/1.03

x = 2686 is the amount of money before the 3% sales tax is added

0.03x = 0.03*2686 = 80.58 is the amount of sales tax collected

As a check,

2686+80.58 = 2766.58

which confirms our answer

Answer:

Tax collected= $80.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the amount he got from services was "x", and to that he had to add a 3% of sales tax.

Recall that 3% in math form is written as: 3/100 = 0.03

then, he had to include 0.03 times x to the "x" amount in hotel services:

x + 0.03 x = 2766.58

1.03 x = 27688.58

x = 27688.58/1.03

x= $2686

Then, the amount for the taxes is 3% of this which is:

0.03 * 2686 = $80.58

The measure of an angle is 63°. 
Irina-Kira [14]
A complementary angle is an angle that adds up to 90 degree each and every time. So, therefore the correct formula to use is 90-63=27. Now, you have your answer and can check it twice if you'd like by the formula. Again your answer is 27.
