The state sales tax in Colorado is 2.9%.
We know that because we divide 2.32/80. We have to find out what percent the tax is of the amount paid. The answer comes to 0.029. Multiply it by 100, and you get 2.9%
You can do this by completing the square
x^2 - 14x + y^2 + 8 = 16
(x - 7)^2 - 49 + (y + 4)^2 - 16 = 16
(x - 7)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 16 + 16 + 49 = 81
so the center is at (7 , -4) and radius = sqrt81 = 9
Yes it is the same thing ! :)
