The sales tax rate in New Mexico is $5.125%. A pair of pants in New Mexico costs $30 before tax.

The tax is $1.54 and the price after tax is $31.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

The procedure to add a percentage ratio p to a given quantity q is:

* Calculate the increase as i = p*q/100

* Add the increase to the original quantity to get the final quantity f=q + i

It's given the sales tax rate in New Mexico is p=5.125%. A pair of pants in New Mexico costs q=$30 before tax.

* The increase (tax) is i = (5.125*30)/100 = $1.54

* The price after tax is f = $30 + $1.54 = $31.54

The tax is $1.54 and the price after tax is $31.54

choice b is correct

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the following system of inequalities;

we are required to graph the solution to the system of inequalities. using a graphing tool, the graph of the system is as shown in the attachment. the continuous line represents the graph of while the dotted line represents .

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
