Answer:

$25.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the items Sara buys to find the total:

17.50 + 6.50 = 24

Convert 8.25% into a decimal:

8.25/100 = 0.0825

Multiply 0.0825 by 24:

0.0825 x 24 = 1.98

1.98 is the amount of tax, then add the tax to the total amount you got before tax.

24 + 1.98 = 25.98

Your answer would be 25 dollars and 98 cents!

What is the ones digit of a number if its cube ends in 7
Ostrovityanka [42]

Well, I have never seen a question posed this way, but let's check it out by trial and error.

1^3 = 3

2^3 = 8

3^3 = 27 Hey! There's one. And the ones digit ends in 3.

Let's try another number that ends in 3 and see if it works as well.

13^3 = 2197 Wow. It works again. I never noticed this before, so you taught me something new.

I will test one more.

33^3 = 35937 Bingo. I think we have a winner.
