3,125 UNITS

Explanation:

According to the question above, the seasonal relatives for each quarter for the current year financials has been calculated thus:

1st quarter                      0.5

2nd quarter                    1.0

3rd quarter                     1.25

4th quarter                     1.25

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
