An item costs $410 before tax, and the sales tax is $20.50 . find the sales tax rate. write your answer as a percentage.

Hi there! For this, we can simply divide 20.50 by 410 to find the tax rate. 20.50/410 is 0.05. That's in decimal form. Multiply by 100 to get the percent form. 0.05 * 100 is 5. That's the number in percent form. The sales tax rate is 5%.

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
