STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)

(9/12) / (1/8) =
3/4 * 8 =
24/4 =
6 <=== u would use 6 one-eights size measuring cups to equal 9/12 of corn syrup
2(10-3) distribute = 2*10 is 20 and 2*3 is 6
20-6+(5-14/2)
now 20-6 is 14
14+(5-14/2)
now 14/2 is 7
14+(5-7)
now 5-7 is -2
14+-2
is 12
the answer is 12
but if you want to you can do 12/3 to get the greatest common factor
which is 4
hope i help you :P
