Brandon buys a radio for $43.99 in a state where the sales tax is 7%. how much does he pay in taxes?

Given : Brandon buys a radio for $43.99 .sales tax  rate is 7%.sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services.

Let the price of Radio before the sales tax be $x. Sales tax on $x is 7% x.

Price before sales tax + Amount of sales tax= Cost of Radio.

x+7%x =43.99

Or x+0.07x=43.99

1.07x=43.99

Dividing both sides by 1.07.

x= 41.11

Cost of Radio before tax = $41.11

Sales tax paid = 43.99-41.11= 2.88

Tax paid = $2.90 (To nearest cent)

its a straight line parallel to the time axis

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
