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

At the park, 4/7 of the children are boys. if there are 8 boys at the park, how many are girls?

Oksana_A [137]

There are 4/7 boys, so there are 3/7 girls.

Let the total number of children be x.

4/7x = 8
1/7x = 8 ÷ 4
1/7x = 2
3/7x = 2 x 3
3/7x = 6

There are 6 girls.

The brand manager for a brand toothpaste must plan a campaign designed to increase brand recognition. He wants to first determin

bulgar [2K]

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.

From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, $Z_{Critical}=1.645$ .

We also know that E=5% or E=0.05

Also, since, $\hat{p}$ is not given, we will assume that $\hat{p}$ =0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})$ in the expression and that will be maximum only when $\hat{p}$ =0.5. (For any other value of $\hat{p}$ , we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if, $\hat{p}$ is 0.4, then $1-\hat{p}=0.6$ and thus, $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})=0.24$ .).
