An item has a listed price of $40 . If the sales tax rate is 6% , how much is the sales tax (in dollars)?

1 answer:

6 0

We have to find 6% of 40, and to get that we can divide 40/100 and multiply that by 6 (since 6% is 6/100). That is 0.4*6=2.4 dollars

What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a pentagon?

jek_recluse [69]

Hi,

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with x sides is equal to (x-2) times 180 degrees. A pentagon has got 5 sides, so the sum of the measures of its interior angles is 180(5-2) = 180(3) = 540 degrees.

I hope this helps. If I was not clear enough or if you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.
