Given : Brandon buys a radio for $45.99 .sales tax rate is 7%.sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services.
Let the price of Radio before the sales tax be $x. Sales tax on $x is 7% x.
Price before sales tax + Amount of sales tax= Cost of Radio.
x+7%x =45.99
Or x+0.07x=45.99
1.07x=45.99
Dividing both sides by 1.07.
x= 41.11
Cost of Radio before tax = $41.11
Sales tax paid = 43.99-41.11= 2.88
Tax paid = $2.90 (To nearest cent)

Explain the difference between using area and volume with 2-D and 3-D figures.

Marianna [84]

The difference between Area and Volume lies in the fact that the former relates to plane shapes while the latter takes the concept of solid shapes into account.

<h3>What is the difference between Area and Volume?</h3>

The distinctive characteristic of area is the space occupied by a two-dimensional, 2D flat object in a plane while Volume on the other hand is defined as the space covered by a three-dimensional, solid object. The area is quantised in square units while the volume is quantised in cubic units.
