Answer:

$50.91

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T represent the total cost of goods purchased.

Sale tax = 8.25% of total cost of good purchased.

Sales tax = 8.25% of T

Total cost T of goods mike purchased is;

a sweater for 49.95 = $49.95

and two pair of slacksfor 68.59 each = 2 × $68.59

and a suit for 429.99 = $429.99

T = 49.95 + 2(68.59) + 429.99

T = $617.12

And since;

Sales tax = 8.25% of T

Substituting T;

Sale tax = 8.25% of 617.12

Sales tax = 8.25/100 × $617.12

Sales tax = $50.91

What the answer for this ? :/

Hello there! I can help you! In order to answer those questions, we need to plug in the values, based off of the variable.

g. Okay. We are solving b - 10. b = -8. When you subtract something from a negative number, the number is even lower. Let's add the numbers first and then put in the negative symbol. 8 + 10 is 18. Put the negative sign and you get -18. The difference is -18.

h. Now, we solve a - b. a = 5 and b = -8. Because we are subtracting a negative number from a positive, we have to add both numbers, which means the number gets bigger. Ignore the negative sign and add. 5 + 8 is 13. There. The sum is 13.

i. The problem is c - a. c = -9 and a = 5. So as explained on problem G, for this problem, ignore the negative symbol and add. 9 + 5 is 14. Plug in the negative sign to get -14. There. The difference is -14.

I need to know the answer I’m working on rational numubers
lesya [120]

Answer:

Fraction Form: \frac{11}{24}

Decimal Form: 0.4583

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the fraction rule: \frac{-a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

\frac{-5}{12} = - \frac{5}{12}

- \frac{5}{12} + \frac{7}{8}

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12 and 8: 24

- \frac{5}{12} x  \frac{2}{2} = - \frac{10}{24} \\\\\frac{7}{8} x  \frac{3}{3} = \frac{21}{24} \\\\- \frac{10}{24} + \frac{21}{24}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c}= \frac{a + b}{c}\\\\\frac{-10 + 21}{24} \\\\-10 + 21 = 11\\\\\frac{11}{24}
