5%

Step-by-step explanation:

                           = 5%

Lexi and Ann went shopping. Ann wondered how much tax she would have to pay on her purchase of $76. Lexi said, "They just charged me $17 in taxes when I bought these outfits for $200." How much will Ann pay in taxes?

Ann's taxes = × $76

                   = $6.46

Every week Roseanne gets paid $100 plus a 5% commission on all of her sales. If she has $5,000 in sales, how much is her pay for the week?

5% commission = × $5000

                          = $250

Total pay = $250 + $100

                = $350

Every week Kabore gets paid $100 plus 5% of his sales. How much does he need to sell if he wants to make $700 this week?

Amount of commission paid = $700 - $100

                                               = $600

5% of sales = $600

100% of sales = × $600

                       = $12 000

Get-It-Done Depot has an ad for piping that reads:

“15 inches of pipe - only $2.00

Get 15% off the total when you buy more than 3 feet”

Mike needs 4 feet of piping. How much will it cost him?

4 feet = 48 inches

48 inches - × $2.00 = $6.40

Total after 15% off (since 4 feet is more than 3 feet so the discount is legible) - × $6.40 = $5.44
