Let cost of item before tax is $x.
Rate of sales tax = 2.5% = 2.5/100 = 0.025
Cost of groceries with tax = x+0.025x = 1.025x
Total cost of groceries= $1.60
1.025x = 1.60
x = 1.6/1.025
x = $1.56
So cost of groceries before sales tax= $1.56
The answer is in the image
For 1 flavor there are 9 topping
Therefore, for 5 different flavors there will be 5*9 choices
No of choices= 5*9
=45
The solution is given in the image below
Here,
tip=18%of $32
tip=(18/100)*32
=0.18*32
=$5.76
Total payment=32+5.76=$37.76
The wood before starting =12 feet
Left wood=6 feet
Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet
Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)
=8 pieces
Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.
Cost before sale tax=$46.00
Cost after including tax=$48.76
Sale tax=$48.76-46.00
=$2.76
we know,
sale tax=((sales tax rate)/100) * cost before sale tax
2.76=((sales tax rate)/100) *46.00
sale tax rate=(2.76*100)/46
=276/46
=6%
There fore sales tax rate=6%
The solution is given below
Cost of 6 gallons =$15
