A dinner cost $22 and a sales tax of $1.87 was added to the bill. How much would the sales tax be on a $66 dinner? What is the tax rate for meals in this city?

The correct answer is the sales tax charged is $5.61 for $66 dinner at 8.5% tax rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the dinner is $22. Tax levied on it is $1.87

Let x% is the rate of tax in the city.

Therefore, x% of 22 = 1.87

⇒ x = 1.87 × = 8.5

Therefore 8.5% is the tax rate in the city on foods.

Now another dinner costs $66.

Tax levied on it at the same percentage is given by 8.5% of 66 = $5.61.

Thus $5.61 as sales tax would be charged for a $66 dinner.

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
