The sales tax in your city is 4.4%, and an item costs $3 before tax.
how much tax would you pay on that item?

1st step to calculate the tax

$3=100%

$x=4.4%

x=4*4.4/100

x=0.132

2nd spet total cost of the item

$3+0.132=3.132

Step-by-step explanation:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
