The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
$43.20
Explanation:
The formula we have is
c = p(1+r), where c is the total cost, p is the price of the item before tax, and r is the tax rate written as a decimal. This formula comes from the fact that adding a percent tax to the cost of an item takes 100% of the price and adds r% to it; this is why we multiply the price by (1+r).
Since our tax rate is 8%, r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08. The price of the item is $40. Using this information, we have:
c = 40(1.08) = $43.20
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 16.6%
B. 16.6%
1/3 x 1/2 = .166 = 16.6%
2/9 + 1/3 + 2/3
2/9 + 3/9 + 6/9
(2 + 3 + 6) /9
11/9
Answer:
5/12 of cookies left on the plate
Step-by-step explanation:
we have to add to know what part of the dish ate and then subtract it from the total
1/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 =
when we are adding fractions with the same denominator we simply add the above
1 + 4 + 2 = 7
1/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 = 7/12
now to the total of the plate that would be 1 we subtract what they ate
1 - 7/12 =
the whole 1 can be expressed as 12/12 since if we do the 12/12 = 1 account
12/12 - 7/12
for the subtraction with the same denominator the same thing happens as for the sum, we only do it with the top
12 - 7 = 5
12/12 - 7/12 = 5/12
