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).

1. Which represents the type of sequence: -99, -96, -92, -87, -81, …?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

So here are the answers for the given questions above:
1. Based on the given values above, the correct answer would be option B. NEITHER ARITHMETIC NOR GEOMETRIC. Why? When we say arithmetic sequence, the values should have a common difference which remains constant all throughout the sequence, and this sequence does not qualify. On the other hand, a geometric sequence should have a common ratio, and these numbers do not have one.
2. The correct answer for this problem would be option C. <span>121,520.
Based on the given values above, the values have a common ratio of 1.1. So what we are going to do is just to multiply 1.1 each time and by 2016, we will get </span>121,520.
Hope these answers help.
