Compute the sales tax on the following transactions. an article retails for $38.50. the city sales tax is 4%, and the federal excise tax is 7%. how much is the total tax? a. 1.54
b. 2.70
c. 4.24
d. 34.26

The answer is C) 4.24

4% + 7% = 11%

to get 11% of 38.50 you move the decimal two spaces to the left on the percent and multiply that number by the other number.

11% ---> .11

38.50 x .11= 4.24.

I hope this answer gave you a better understanding on how to work with percentages! :) Have a good day :)

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
