Answer:

Very handy question to know the answer to. I know of no place on the planet that does not have a tax of some sort.

The tax only applies when money changes hands. It does not apply to any discounts

So if you take the deal, the cost is

Cost of 2 pizzas = normal price - the discount.

Cost of 2 pizzas = 2*10.50 - 2.00

Cost of 2 pizzas = 21 - 2

Cost of 2 pizzas = 19.00 dollars.

Not you add on the sales tax. You can do this one of two ways, the long way or the short way.

Long way

Find the sales tax

Tax = % * cost

Tax = (7.5/100) * 19

Tax = 1.425 don't round yet.

Total Cost = purchase + tax

Total Cost = 19.00 + 1.425 = 20.425 Now round. This is a real problem. It depends on what you have been told to do about rounding when 5 is the last digit. I round up. So my answer would be 20.43 <<<<< Answer.

Short Way

Cost = (Price - discount)*(1 + %/100)

Cost = (21 - 2)*(1+ 7.5/100)

Cost = 19 * (1.075)

Cost = 20.425 = 20.43

Answer:

A. 2/3

Opposite Sides of a Parallelogram

The two pairs of sides in a parallelogram are parallel to each other.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

The slope of the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent (equal in measure).

Given:

Slope of PQ = 2/3

Slope of QR = -1/2

For PQRS to be a parallelogram, the slope of SR must be same as the slope of PQ.

This implies that: Slope of SR = Slope of PQ = 2/3.

Therefore, based on the properties of a parallelogram, the slope of SR for PQRS to be a parallelogram would be: 2/3.
