Given:
The formula for total cost is

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.
To find:
The the tax rate.
Solution:
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,
Total cost (T) = $14.77
Price of item (p) = $14
Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get



Multiply both sides by 100.

Divide both sides by 14.


Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
18n+4.4m I don’t know if this is right but I don’t understand the information you gave me because the numbers are scrambled
The answer is 54. You subtract the highest value from the least value.
So it gives you the diameter but you need the radius of the circle to find the area so to find the radius you just divide the diameter by two. the formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2 so you just multiply 3.14 by 3 squared so you just put it in the calculator as A=3.14*3^2 and you get 28.26 hope this helped
