Mick paid $2.94 in sales tax on an item that costs $42.00 before tax. at that rate, how much would he pay in sales tax for an item that costs $58.00 before tax?

For the item that costs %58, he should pay $4.06 as sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x% be the sales tax.

So, x% of 42 = 2.94.

× 42 = 2.94

x = 2.94 ×

= 7

So, 7% is the sales tax.

Now, 7% of 58 = × 58

= 4.06

//blooming serenity//

beautiful in the morning

mysterious at night

wonderous nature souring

with all it's mystical might

the flower that blooms

to the fox that looms

nocturnal creatures

with various features

a blooming flower soon in sight

as a new little hatchling fears to take flight  

afraid to leave it's calming nest,

but dear little bird, mother knows best

as sure as there are stars in the sky,

life is not about who, where what, when or why-

it's the journey that follows

adventures we swallow

of   nature's deep wonders,

natural disasters and storm's thunders.

blooming serenity

life and nature, truly is heavenly.
