use this scenario to answer the remaining questions: brenton purchased a new bedroom set for $4,500.00. he lives in arizona and pays a 8.75% sales tax. if he made a 50% down payment and financed the rest, what amount did he finance?

what is the total sales tax brenton will pay?

what was brenton's total amount financed?

$393.75

$2,446.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take this problem one step at a time. First let's compute for the total price after the sales tax has been added.

Sales tax = 8.75% or 0.0875

Original Price = $4,500

The sales tax is computed by multiplying the total to the sales tax rate.

4,500 x 0.0875 = $393.75

$393.75 is the total sales tax that Brenton will pay.

Now to find the total price with the sales tax included, we simply add the original price and the sales tax value together.

4,500 + 393.75 = $4,893.75

Now that we have the total overall price, we can then compute for how much the 50% down payment Brenton has made.

Down Payment = 50% or 0.5

Overall Price = $4,893.75

We simply multiply both the down payment and the overall price to find how much Brenton has paid.

4,893.75 x 0.5 = $2,446.88

Now that we know how much Brenton paid, we also now know how much Brenton financed by subtracting the overall price to his down payment.

4,893.75 - 2,446.88 = $2,446.88

Brenton finance a total amount of $2,446.88.

sum= when you add is how much the whole amount is

distance= when you use angles and it means how far it goes

step-by-step explanation:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
