That's a question about percentage.
One way to represent percentage is using decimal number. In this way, 1 is equivalent to 100% and the other less percentages using numbers between 0 and 1.
Examples:
- 90% is equivalent to 0,90.
- 5% is equivalent to 0.05. It's not 0.5 because 0.5 is equivalent to 50%.
- 13.17% is equivalent to 0.1317.
- 245% is equivalent to 2.45.
If we want to know the percentage of a number, we should multiplacate the number by the porcentage in the decimal number form.
Examples:
- 55.90% of 200 is equal to:
- 360% of 88 is equal to:
In our problem, we have a phone with a increase of 7%. To solve that, it's important to perceive that $230 is equal to 100% and with a increase of 7%, we will pay 107%.
107% in the decimal number form is 1.07. With that information, we should multiplicate 1.07 by the original value and we will find the answer.
We know that 
, therefore, the total cost of the phone after tax is $246.1.
I hope I've helped. :D

Step-by-step explanation:
7.50= (1 + x/100 ) × 5.50
7.50/ 5.50 = 1+x/100
x/100 = 0.36
x= 36.36%
Y=mx+b is the equation we must fill out, with x and y being their respective coordinates, m being the slope, and b being the y-intercept. The y intercept will be at (0, y), and the beginning of this problem already gives us the y-intercept: -4.
We now know y=mx-4. To find the slope, m, we’ll plug in one of the coordinates: (5, 1). The new equation is 1=m(5)-4. Solve this to get 5=m(5), and then m=1.
Now that we know the slope and y-intercept, we can conclude that the equation is y=x-4.
Answer: A. 0.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event of employees needed corrective shoes and B be the event that they needed major dental work .
We are given that : 
We know that 
Then, 
Hence, the probability that an employee selected at random will need either corrective shoes or major dental work : 
hence, the correct option is (A).
