Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost.
Make sure you put the sales tax into decimal form. You do this by taking the percentage and sliding the decimal point two places to the left:
7.5% sales tax becomes .075 in decimal form
3.4% sales tax becomes .034 in decimal form
5% sales tax becomes .05 in decimal form
Example: $60 (item cost) x .075 (sales tax) = $4.5 total sales tax
Answer:
<em>He will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons. </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Muhammad uses 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches of twine to wrap each carton he packs.
<u>We know that, 1 yard = 36 inches and 1 foot = 12 inches</u>.
So, 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches ![=[(1*36)+(2*12)+4]inches = 64](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5B%281%2A36%29%2B%282%2A12%29%2B4%5Dinches%20%3D%2064)
inches.
That means, he uses 64 inches of twine to wrap each carton.
He has to pack 29 cartons today. So, <u>the total length of the twine he will need</u> 
inches.
Now....
1856 inches
Thus, he will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons.
That'd be 32 with no remainder.
Answer:
option b
Step-by-step explanation:
replace x and y with the x and y of the ordered pair
option a: 2(4)+4(5)=6(4)-5
solve
8+20=24-5
28=19 not true
option b:2(5)+4(4)=6(5)-4
solve
10+16=30-4
26=26 true
5*5+5=30
5*5-15=10
30/10= 3
