<h3>
Answer: Choice C) $1,444.50</h3>
========================================================
There are two methods to get the answer.
The slightly longer method is to take 7% of the original price to get
7% of 1350 = (7/100)*1350 = 0.07*1350 = 94.50
The sales tax is $94.50
Add this onto the original price to get 1,350+94.50 = 1,444.50
----------------------------
A shortcut is to multiply the original price by 1.07
The multiplier 1.07 represents a 7% increase since
- 1 = 100%
- 0.07 = 7%
- 1.07 = 1 + 0.7 = 100% + 7%
So we will have 1.07*1350 = 1,444.50
Q = p(r+s)
--------------
(r+s) (r+s) Divide both sides by (r+s) so you can get the p bu itself this way you get q / (r+s) = p
The question is worded a bit strangely (in my opinion anyway), but I think your teacher wants you to describe how exponents work.
Let's say we had the expression 
The base is 5 as its the bottom most value (think of something like the base of a tree or building). The exponent is 3.
The exponent of 3 tells the reader to multiply the base 5 by itself 3 times like so
With larger exponents, it becomes more tedious to write out all the repeated multiplications, which is why many calculators have an exponent button to save time.
Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
96 / (100%-40%) = 96/ (60%)
= 96/0.6 = 160
