In new york city, customers must pay 9% sales tax on all items purchased. if a customer purchases 4 items that cost $42.00 each, how much sales tax will she pay?

15.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Purchase price of the 4 items

4*42 = 168

Sales tax = purchase price * tax rate

sales tax = 168 * 9%

               = 168 *.09

                =15.12

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
