A coat is priced $50. If the sales tax is 7% of the price, how much is the sales tax? What is the total cost including sales tax?

The sales tax is $3.5

The total cost is $53.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sales tax, you have to find the 7 percent of 50 dollars. In decimal form, 7% is 0.07. So you just have to multiply 0.07 to 50.

50 x 0.07 = 3.5

That's why $3.5 is the sales tax.

In order to get the total cost including sales tax. You just have to add $50 to the sales tax which is $3.5.

$50 + $3.5 = $53.5

4. understand your doubts.

5. create a distraction free study environment

6. create a mathematical dictionary

7. apply maths to real world problems.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
