Find the total cost to the nearest cent. $42 video game; 6% tax

the answer is 40.

proof:

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;

-x represents miles per gallon

-y represents cargo weight

-vehicle traveled an average of 5.3 miles per gallon(x1) with load of 22 tons (y1)

- vehicle traveled an average of 6.3 miles per gallon( x2) with load of 18 tons( y2)

so, equation now becomes

so, option a) is correct

what the question? problem solving?
