Monica is buying a new dress for her

job interview at Amazon. The total

(without tax) is $65.49.

If she is shopping in Pearland, where

the sales tax rate is 8.25%, what will

be the AMOUNT OF SALES TAX for

her dress (remember to round to two

decimal places since it's money)?

What’s the answer

Sales tax would be $5.40

Step-by-step explanation: The sales value itself of the dress (that is, without tax) is $65.49.

The amount charged as sales tax in Pearland is given as 8.25% (or 0.0825).

Hence if she is shopping in Pearland, the AMOUNT OF SALES TAX she would pay can be calculated as,

Sales tax = Sales price x 0.0825

Sales tax = 65.49 x 0.0825

Sales tax = 5.402925

Approximately to two decimal places, the sales tax becomes $5.40

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
