Octavia buys a pair of jeans for $20.50 plus 8% tax. Then she buys a jacket for $32 plus 8% tax.

$56.70 all together

Step-by-step explanation:

$22.14 for the jeans

$34.56 for the jacket

$56.7 all together

Take your tax and move the decimal over to the left by 2 spaces

8. becomes .08

take .08 and multiply it by the price so

20.50 x .08= 1.64

and

32 x .08=2.56

the number you get is how much the tax is, $1.64 is 8% of $20.15

take that number and add it to your price

$1.64+$20.50= $22.14

$56.70

Step-by-step explanation:

22.14+34.56=$56.70

answer: 5 17/33 % (to the tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

he guessed: 34.5 pounds

actual weight is 32.7

there for he is off:

34.5 -32.7 = 1.8

therefore:

32.7   - 100%

1.8     -     x%

x= 1.8*100%/32.7% = 18*100%/327%

x=1800%/327%   = (5 165/327)%

to the tenth:

5 17/33 %
