What is the cost of a typewriter that is 18% off the list price of $375 with a sales tax of 5% that must be paid

The cost is $322.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

18% off the list price of $375

Before the sales tax, you pay 100% - 18% = 82% = 0.82 of 375, so:

0.82*375 = 307.5

5% sales tax:

100% + 5% = 105% = 1.05 of 307.5. So

307.5*1.05 = 322.88

The cost is $322.88.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
