Answer:
She paid 9% of sales tax
Step-by-step explanation:
The sale price of diamond = $375
Let x be percent of sales tax
So, amount of tax = 
So, Amount including tax = 375+3.75x
We are given that Bethany paid $408.75 for a pair of diamond stud earrings. 
So, 375+3.75x=408.75
3.75x=408.75-375

x=9
Hence She paid 9% of sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:
.19 = 19/100
.864 = 86.4/100
.5348 = 53.48 /100 
I multiplied the decimal by 100 to get what it was before which is the same as moving two decimal places to the right and divided by 100

Answer:
This is a direct variation where the constant of variation is 5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for direct variation is y = kx
5x-9y =0
Lets try to get this equation in the above form
Add 9y to each side
5x-9y +9y = 9y
5x = 9y
Divide each side by 9
5/9 x = 9y/9
5/9x = y
This is in the form y = k x where k =5/9
