Hi BellaMath1717,

Your Question:

Bob spent $37.80, including tax, on a pair of jeans. How much did the jeans cost if there was 8% sales tax?

Solution:

Step 1: Find The Tax

8% = 0.08

37.8 x 0.08 = 3.024

Tax = $3.024

Step 2: Find The Total

37.80 + 3.024 = $40.824 = $40.82

Final

$40.82

76%

step-by-step explanation:

24% are dogs and the remaining is 76% because 100-24=76

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
