Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ticket price of jacket = $199

Final price after addition of sales tax = $208.95

Percentage sales tax on the jacket =?

Final price after addition of sales tax = price of jacket + amount of sales tax paid

208.95 = 199 + amount of sales tax paid

amount of sales tax paid = 208.95 - 199

amount of sales tax paid = $9.95

Let Percentage of sales tax = x

(x / 100) * 199 = 9.95

199x / 100 = 9.95

199x = 995

x = 5

Hence percent sales tax paid = 5%

You pay $14.82 for 1.5 pounds of ham. You buy 2.25 pounds of roast beef for $12.40 per pound. a. How much less does ham cost per
shutvik [7]

Answer:

A.) $2.52 less per pound. B.) $13.08 more

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) You pay $14.82 for 1.5 lbs of ham. You divide $14.82 by 1.5 lbs (14.82/1.5) to figure out how much you spend per pound of ham. You should get $9.88. Since you spend $12.40 per pound of roast beef, you subtract $9.88 from $12.40 ($12.40 - $9.88). You should get $2.52, which is your answer.

B.) Since you paid $14.82 for 1.5 lbs of ham, you already have this variable. Take the 2.25 lbs of roast beef and multiply it by $12.40 per pound (12.40*2.25). You then take that number ($27.90) and subtract it by $14.82 (27.90-14.82) and you should get your answer, $13.08.

Y_Kistochka [10]
<h2>Option C is the correct answer,</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of planet Jupiter from the Sun is approximately 7.8 x 10⁸ kilometers.

Distance from Jupiter to Sun = 7.8 x 10⁸ kilometers

The distance of planet Saturn from the Sun is 1.5 x 10⁹ kilometers.

Distance from Saturn to Sun = 1.5 x 10⁹ kilometers

Difference in distances = 1.5 x 10⁹ - 7.8 x 10⁸ = 15 x 10⁸ - 7.8 x 10⁸

Difference in distances = 7.2 x 10⁸ kilometers

Option C is the correct answer,
