Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40. they are on sale for 20% off. if the tax rate is 8%, what is the sale price of the jeans including tax?

Answer      

Find out the  what is the sale price of the jeans including tax .

To prove

Let us assume that the sale price of the jeans including tax be x .

As given

Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40.

They are on sale for 20% off.

If the tax rate is 8% .

20% is written in the decimal form

= 0.20

8% is written in the decimal form

= 0.08

Than the equation becomes

x = 40 - 40 × 0.20 + 40 × 0.08

x = 40 - 8 + 3.2

x = 43.2 - 8

x = $35.2

Therefore the sale price of the jeans including tax be $ 35.2 .

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

could you provide figure.
