Answer:

Total items = $39.90

Sales tax amount = $3.7905

Total cost = $43.691

The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items

Step-by-step explanation:

Dress = $24.95

Skirt = $14.95

steps the clerk completed.

Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90

Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40

Correct steps:

Total items = dress + skirt

= $24.95 + $14.95

= $39.90

Sales tax = 9.5%

Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total

= 9.5/100 × $39.90

= 0.095 × 39.90

= $3.7905

Total cost = Total + sales tax amount

= $39.90 + $3.7905

= $43.6905

To the nearest hundredth

= $43.691

Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items

Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax

Hey there! :)

Answer:

a) 32 sticks.

b) 5n + 2 sticks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this by finding the pattern.

Pattern # 1 = 7 sticks.

Pattern #2 = 12 sticks

Pattern #3 = 17 sticks.

We can see an increase of 5 sticks within each. We can use this to write an equation:

f(n) = 7 + 5(n-1)

***Where n is the term number

You can simplify the equation to become:

f(n) = 7 + 5n - 5

f(n) = 5n + 2.

Use this equation to solve for pattern # 6:

f(6) = 7 + 5(n-1)

f(6) = 7 + 5(5)

f(6) = 7 + 25

f(6) = 32.

Nikki has 3 pieces of yarn. the first piece is 5/6 feet long the second piece is 5/3 feet long and the third piece is 3/2 oder s
xenn [34]
I think you are asking to sort them according to the shortest to longest in length. For this, it would be helpful to write the fraction into decimal. The equivalent values are as follows:

5/6 = 0.83
5/3 = 1.67
3/2 = 1.50

Therefore, the correct sorting would be as follows:

first yarn
third yarn
second yarn

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
