Answer:   The exact answer is: $ 39,856 approaching: $ 40.00

Explanation:  

First,  the value of the sales tax corresponding to 6% is determined:             $ 42.4  x  0.06  =  $  2,544

Now subtract $ 2,544 from the total value of the purchase

               $ 42.4 - $ 2,544 = $ 39,856 approx. $ 40.00 this is the value of the pre-tax gift

Examples of how geography make an impact on life in the ancient river!
lbvjy [14]

<span>The harsh climate pushed the early Egyptian tribes toward the Nile River Valley, where the long, strong river kept the surrounding areas lush and green through regular flooding. This allowed the civilization to thrive even in the hot, dry desert. Egyptian culture and daily life revolved around the river because it brought the different seasons. The Nile also has a high place in Egyptian mythology and belief. In addition, the flow of the river determined how their trade routes were set up.The stones available in the land determined what kind of buildings the people were able to build, and the abundance of stones to mine led to the many monuments left behind thousands of years later. Without the solid stone available, such things as the pyramids would not have been possible. Egypt is historically known for the enslavement of Hebrews which aided in the expansion in the empire by providing free manual labor. The climate was harsh and the Nile broken up by dangerous rapids, keeping many invading forces out. This allowed the civilization to thrive for thousands of years with minimal examples of being taken over.</span>

Who are the “working poor” and how the pandemic impacted them in the US.
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

“The working poor” are working people whose job does not bring them enough money. As these jobs are often considered essential, they are more likely to get ill at the time, and not have adequate medical care. In the time of the pandemic, they also can’t negotiate working conditions and wages and are forces by circumstances to work, risk their health and life, and be underpaid.

Explanation:

<u> “The Working poor” are people who do have the job, but they are still poor as the work they perform doesn’t pay enough to cover rational life expenses</u>. <u>The work these people do is usually difficult, either manual, physical work, work with long hours and without a weekend or work in the various bad conditions.</u>

During the pandemic, the need for work became high, while prices started rising. <u>Many people become unemployed, but as they need to support themselves and their families, they will take on the underpaid job. </u>In a time of global crisis, <u>it is unlikely people will be able to negotiate for better wages and working conditions.</u>

Additionally,<u> “working poor” are often considered essential workers (working in retail, production, delivery, cleaning, etc)</u>. <u>They can’t work at home and are in more immediate danger to get il</u>l. Their jobs often don’t cover the adequate health insurance they need, they are unable to take a paid leave and therefore <u>are in greater life danger.</u>
