John bought 3 pencils for $0.75 each and a notebook for $4.25. If the tax rate is 5%, what is the total amount of John's purchase including the tax?

$6.83

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the before-tax total amount:

$0.75 + $0.75 + $0.75 + $4.25, or

3($0.75) + $4.25 = $2.25 + $4.25 = $6.50    (total before tax)

The before-tax total PLUS the 5% tax comes to:

$6.50 + 0.05($6.50) = $6.50 + $0.33  =  $6.83

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
