An item is priced at $13.54. If the sales tax is 6%, what does the item cost including sales tax?
A.
$14.35
B.
$0.81
C.
$27.89
D.
$21.66

A $14.35 option is correct.

item cost including sales tax = $14.35

Step-by-step explanation:

item priced = $13.54

sales tax = 6%

               = 6/100 x 13.54

               = $0.8124

item cost including sales tax = $13.54 + $0.8124

                                               = $14.35

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
