A smartphone costs $250. Sales tax is 7%. What is the total cost, including tax? The cost of the smartphone, with tax, is $

17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Our output value is 250

We represent the unknown value wit “x”

250= 100%

x= 7%

By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

250/x = 100%/7%

Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/250= 7/100

X= 17.5

17.5=7% of 250

40 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

add the time and multiply by 2

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
