STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)
Hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The surface area is multiplied by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
If r is the radius of a sphere its surface area = 4(pi)r^2. If the radius is doubled then its surface area = 4(pi)(2r)^2 = 4*4(pi)r^2. So the surface area becomes 4-fold or the increase in surface area is 300%.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation of a Line</u>
We can find the equation of a line by using two sets of data. It can be a pair of ordered pairs, or the slope and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept, or many other combinations of appropriate data.
We are given a line
And are required to find a line perpendicular to that line. Let's find the slope of the given line. Solving for y
The coefficient of the x is the slope
The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of m, thus
We know the second line passes through (2,3). That is enough information to find the second equation:
Operating
Simplifying
That is the equation in slope-intercept form. Intercept: y=4
