Richard bought a pair of shoes for $37.00, a tie for $22.00, and a new belt for $17.00. If the sales tax is 7.5%, how much sales tax did Richard pay for these items?

It seems to me, that if you were to add the price of all three items together, then multiply by 7.5%, you'd have the answer.  Remember that 7.5% = .075 ... in other words, that is the number you would multiply the sum of the items by.  Does that help?

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

b, i believe, but not sure.
