$393.75

$2,446.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take this problem one step at a time. First let's compute for the total price after the sales tax has been added.

Sales tax = 8.75% or 0.0875

Original Price = $4,500

The sales tax is computed by multiplying the total to the sales tax rate.

4,500 x 0.0875 = $393.75

$393.75 is the total sales tax that Brenton will pay.

Now to find the total price with the sales tax included, we simply add the original price and the sales tax value together.

4,500 + 393.75 = $4,893.75

Now that we have the total overall price, we can then compute for how much the 50% down payment Brenton has made.

Down Payment = 50% or 0.5

Overall Price = $4,893.75

We simply multiply both the down payment and the overall price to find how much Brenton has paid.

4,893.75 x 0.5 = $2,446.88

Now that we know how much Brenton paid, we also now know how much Brenton financed by subtracting the overall price to his down payment.

4,893.75 - 2,446.88 = $2,446.88

Brenton finance a total amount of $2,446.88.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
