Answer: In layman's terms, that means if the original price of something you sell was $100, but you offer a 50% discount, then the taxable price is $50. Sale Price = original price – (% of discount * original price)

Sales Tax = Sales Tax rate * Sale Price.

Sales Tax = 0.05 * $17.21 = $0.8605 = $0.86. How do I add 5% to a number?

Divide the number you wish to add 5% to by 100.

Multiply this new number by 5.

Add the product of the multiplication to your original number.

Answer:

Sales tax is an increase in the price of the item while a discount is the decrease of the price. A 5% sales tax is an increase since your paying an extra 5% of the item price. 15% discount is a decrease since your now only paying 85% of the original price. Hope that helps

Answer:

First type of fruit drinks: 48 pints

Second type of fruit drinks: 32 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the amount of first type of fruit drinks. 55% pure fruit juice

Let's call B the amount of second type of fruit drinks. 80% pure fruit juice

The resulting mixture should have 65% pure fruit juice and 80 pints.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

$A + B = 80$

Then the total amount of pure fruit juice in the mixture will be:

$0.55A + 0.8B = 0.65 * 80$

$0.55A + 0.8B = 52$

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.8 and add it to the second equation:

$-0.8A -0.8B = -0.8*80$
