First you need to turn 9.5% into a decimal so you need to move the dot " . " over to the left two times 9.5 ---> .95 ---> .095
Now that you turned the % into a decimal all thats left to do is multiply .095 by $97.95
$97.95 * .095= $9.30525 or $9.31
So the tax is $91.31
Using proportions, the selling prices are given as follows:
1. $46.92.
2. $15.29.
3. $17.16.
4. $20,280.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
To find the selling prices, we have to multiply the original prices by either 1.02(2% sales tax) or 1.04(4% sales tax), hence they are given as follows:
- 2. 14.99 x 1.02 = $15.29.
- 3. 16.50 x 1.04 = $17.16.
- 4. 19500 x 1.04 = $20,280.

4 and 2 are the porportions
X shortest piece
X+6 middle piece
X+8 longest piece
Add them
3x+14=56
3x=42
X=42/3=14
