Sales tax is calculated as a percentage of the sales price. if sales tax is 5%, what is the sale tax on clothing that costs $170?

8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales price x sales tax rate =sales tax

170 x .05 (5%) =8.50

$5.41

step-by-step explanation:

$20 - $14.51 = $5.49.

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
