By law, sales tax has to be applied to the discount price. However, would it be better for the consumer if the 7.5% sales tax wa

s calculated before the 20% discount was applied? Why or why not?

Answer:

let's say the item bought costs £20

sales tax first

20/100 X 7.5 = 1.50. 20 + 1.50 = 21.50

21.50/100 X 20 = 4.30

21.50 - 4.30 = £17.20

discount first

20/100 X 20 = 4

20 - 4 = 16

16/100 X 7.5 = 1.20

16 + 1.20 = £17.20

it wouldn't matter

No. Since there will be more of a fine, there will be more tax to take away. If the discount is taken first, then there will be less money to calculate the tax from. So tax before the discount would be worse, because it would cost more

Simplify the complex fraction. 8/5 divide by 6 3/4 *
hichkok12 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{5}÷6\frac{3}{4}

First, simplify the 6\frac{3}{4} to an improper fraction, which is:

\frac{27}{4}

Next rewrite the equation using the improper fraction:

\frac{8}{5}÷\frac{27}{4}

Now, in order to divide the fraction, we will need to flip the second fraction over, and then multiply the two fractions together. A great way to remember this is the phrase <em>Copy Dot Flip - </em>Copy the first fraction, put a dot for multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

\frac{8}{5}·\frac{4}{27}

Finally, multiply together and simplify/reduce if needed:

<u>The final answer is </u>\frac{32}{135}<u> and no simplification or reduction is needed</u>

5 3/2 x 3 6/7 you have 10 point to do the answer
pogonyaev

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion a mixed number 5 3/2

to an improper fraction: 5 3/2 = 5 3/2

= 5 · 2 + 3/2

= 10 + 3/2

= 13/2

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 5 by the denominator 2. Whole number 5 equally 5 * 2/2

= 10/2

b) Add the answer from previous step 10 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 10 + 3 = 13

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 13) over the denominator 2.

Five and three halfs is thirteen halfs

Conversion a mixed number 3 6/7

to an improper fraction: 3 6/7 = 3 6/7

improper fraction: 3 6/7 = 3 6/7

3 · 7 + 6/7 = 21 + 6/7 =27/7

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 7. Whole number 3 equally 3 * 7/7

= 21/7

b) Add the answer from previous step 21 to the numerator 6. New numerator is 21 + 6 = 27

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 27) over the denominator 7.

Three and six sevenths is twenty-seven sevenths

Multiple:

13/2 * 27/7 = 13/2 · 27/7 = 351/14

what property justifies this statement if segment AB is congruent to segment de and segment de is congruent to segment a b
irina [24]

Answer:

If segment AB is congruent to segment DE, then segment DE is congruent to segment AB.

This is the same as if a=b then b=a! which property does that sound like?

Step-by-step explanation:

4. 3x + 4=35, well 3x+4-4=35 -4 -> 3x= 35-

4, which property subtracts from both sides?

8. it's already proven! what else is left but to use it! A property is not something in need of proof, it's the very basic stuff we start off with! A conjuncture is still not proven only thought to be true. That leaves 2.

9. if i give u the answer to this one then you won't get much out of it! so either i give you the answer or you get it yourself, those are the conditions.

10. p --> q, well we know p OR q is not it because OR is a U P AND q is not it because OR is a U

so it must be implies!

But is it p implies q or is it q implies p.

Hmmmm...i wonder.. which way does the arrow point from the st to the 2nd.

12. The statement is P then Q Inverses is not P the Q Inverse is not Q converse is Q the P

Contraceptive is not Q then not P.

13. If and only if, i will give you the answer if and only if you only look it up on the internet.

Did i put one condition on you to do it or two?

Indirect proof is a type of proof in which a statement to be proved is assumed false and if the assumption leads to an impossibility, then the statement assumed false has been proved to be true.
