Answer

Find out the  how much more tax would you pay on a $10 purchase .

To prove

As given

The city of Atlanta recently increased their sales tax from 7.5% to 8%.

Purchase price = $10

7.5 % is written in the decimal form

= 0.075

Tax price on $10 purchase price  when tax rate 7.5% = 0.075 × 10

                                                                                        =  0.75

8 % is written in the decimal form

= 0.08

Tax price on $10 purchase price  when tax rate 8 % = 0.08 × 10

                                                                                        =  0.8

Increase in tax price on $10 purchase = $0.8 - $0.75

                                                              = $ 0.05

Therefore increase in tax price on $10 purchase is $0.05

The option (B) is correct.

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
