The sales tax on the purchase is 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem first we have to express the tax rate number in decimals.

$26.99 x 0.065 = 1.75

So, The sales tax on the purchase is 1.75

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)

48 / 6 = x

in this case, x will equal the amount of money in each card!

x therefore will be 8.

trent had $8 in each birthday card.
