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:
The perimeter is 1280ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side length of the square be s.
Then the distance around three sides is 3s.
According to the question the distance around 3 sides of a square city block is 960 feet.
This implies that:



The perimeter of a square is

Substitute s=320 to get:


The perimeter is 1280 ft
You can use the definition:

Then if

we have

Then the derivative is

I'm guessing the second part of the question asks you to find the tangent line to <em>f(x)</em> at the point <em>a</em> = 0. The slope of the tangent line to this point is

and when <em>a</em> = 0, we have <em>f(a)</em> = <em>f</em> (0) = -2, so the graph of <em>f(x)</em> passes through the point (0, -2).
Use the point-slope formula to get the equation of the tangent line:
<em>y</em> - (-2) = 3 (<em>x</em> - 0)
<em>y</em> + 2 = 3<em>x</em>
<em>y</em> = 3<em>x</em> - 2
