Micheal buys a basket of mangoes on sale for 4 dollars before tax. The sales tax is 12%. What is the total price Micheal pays for the basket of mangoes?

$is the total price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mulitply the total by the percentage.

Add those together.

Total price of mangoes: $

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
