What is the sales tax on the chair shown if the tax rate is 5.75% ( the chairs price is $178.90)

The correct answer is:

$10.29.

Explanation:

We first convert this percent to a decimal. 5.75% = 5.75/100 = 0.00575.

To find the amount of sales tax, we multiply the amount of the purchase ($178.90) by this decimal:

178.90(0.00575) = 10.28675 ≈ 10.29.

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
