Explanation / Answer

1) 80,000 x .04 = 3200 Sarah earned $3200 25.75+15.49+9.95 51.19 = Total cost before tax 51.19 x 1.0825 55.41 = Total cost after tax 2) $80 - 10% = $72 $80 - 20% = $64 $80 - 30% = $56 $80 - 40% = $48 $80 - 50% = $40 3) a. Let S = sale price and R = regular price S = R - .25(R) = .75(R) = .75(329.99) = 247.4925 (about$247.49) b. Let T = total price T = S + .0725(S) = 1.0725(S) = 1.0725(247.4925) = 265.43570625(about $265.44) 4) a. 6% of 3600 is 216 answer = $216 b. add 2% to 6% and get 8%. 8% of 3600 is 288. answer = $288 To get these ansers ( Or to find the percentage amount of anynumber) you first need to turn the Percentage into decimal form. Todo this, move the decimal over 2 places to the left Example: 8% = .08 47% = .47 once you have your decimal multiply it with the number you aretrying to find the percentage for. In your case multiply .06 by 3600 to get 216 -> .06 X 3600 = 216so therefore 216 is 6% of 3600. .08 X 3600 = 288 therefore 288 is 8% of 3600
