The city of Savannah recently increased their sales tax from 7% to 8%. How much more tax will you pay on a $20 purchase?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer

You will pay $0.20 (20 cents) more on a $20 purchase.

Explanation

To find a percentage of any number we just need to multiply the number by the percentage and divide by 100

First, we'll find the 7% of $20:

(7*20)/(100) =(140)/(100) =1.40

Next, we'll find the 8% of $20:

(8*20)/(100) =(160)/(100) =1.60

Finally, we just need to subtract $1.40 form $1.60:

Tax Increment=1.60-1.40=0.20

We can conclude that after the increasing of sales tax from 7% to 8%, you will pay $0.20 (20 cents) more on a $20 purchase.

A package of 2 paintbrushes is on sale for 2.40. How much will 3 packages cost?

Answers

To find the unit price of each paintbrush, we simply divide 2.4 by 2 to find how much each individual paintbrush package costs.

2.4/2 = 1.2

Now, we can add 1.2 to 2.4 to find the price of 3 paintbrush packages.

1.2 + 2.4 = 3.6 (This is your answer.)

Answer:

3.60

Step-by-step explanation:

2.40 divided by 2 is 1.20

1.20 times 3 is 3.60
