8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the sales tax rate, we divide the sales tax by the cost of the item. This will give us what percent of the cost of the item the sales tax is equal to.

So, 20.4 divided by 340 = 0.06

To convert to percent, we multiply 0.06 by 100=6. Therefore, the sales tax rate is 6%.

Check:

340 times 0.06 (the sales tax rate) is 20.4 (the sales tax).

Answer: ok so if you look at the difference it is 120 in 2 hours so to find 1 hour you divide it by 2, or split it in half and that means 60 and it is Decreasing so c is the answer. As for what y= it is y=-60x+480

60 cubic feet and you start out with 480

Step-by-step explanation:

120/2=60

The mass of earth is 5.9 x 10^24. The mass of Pluto is 13,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg. Compared to Pluto, how much greater is

nadya68 [22]

5.9 × 10^24 = 5,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 minus
13,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 equals
5,887,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg
which is the amount greater that Earth's mass is. you could write this problem as
5.9 × 10^24 - 13 × 10^21 = 5.887 × 10^21
