$52,000 + 6% = $55,120
If this helped you, would you mind answering one of my recent questions? Thanks!
I think is the top one!!!!!!!
Price of 3 shirts=$18*3=$54
Price of 2 pair of socks=2*$3.99=$7.98
Price of a pair of slack=$45
Total amount- $54+$7.98+ $45-$106.98
Sales tax rate = 8.5%
8.5% of total amount-8.5% of $106.98=
(8.5/100)*106.98-9.0933
Total amount Rick paid=$106.98+9.0933=$116.0733

Since segments ST and PQ are parallel, triangles SRT and PRQ are similar due to the AAA postulate. In general, the ratio between the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is constant; therefore,

Furthermore,

Finding PR and RS,

Then,


Solving for PS,

Solve the quadratic equation in terms of PS, as shown below
![\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow PS^2+16PS-132=0 \\ \Rightarrow PS=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt[]{16^2-4(-132)}}{2}=\frac{-16\pm28}{2} \\ \Rightarrow PS=-22,6 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%5E2%2B16PS-132%3D0%20%5C%5C%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%3D%5Cfrac%7B-16%5Cpm%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B16%5E2-4%28-132%29%7D%7D%7B2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B-16%5Cpm28%7D%7B2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5CRightarrow%20PS%3D-22%2C6%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
And PS is a segment; therefore, it has to be positive.
Hence, the answer is PS=6
