A pack of cinnamon-scented pencils sells for $6.00. What is the sales tax rate if the total cost of the pencils is $6.42?

7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The additional tax is $0.42, we just have to find how much percent the tax ($0.42) is of the original cost ($6.00).

To do this, we can use the following formula:

Where x is the part (in this case, the tax ($0.42)), y is the whole (in this case, the original cost ($6.00)), and p being the percent (the tax rate in this case). We can replace the values in:

We can cross multiply and simplify to find the tax rate:

We're not done yet! We still need to turn it to percent. But we can do this by just multiplying our result by 100:

Place the percent sign and we are done.

Hope this helps.

step-by-step explanation:

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
