Sales tax in your community is 7.5%. If you go to Becks and buy a polar pop for $0.99, slice of pizza for $2.25, and chips for $0.75, what amount will you pay once the sales tax is added to your purchase?

$4.29

Explanation:

Sales tax is a type of consumption tax. It is levied by the government or an agency of the government on the sales. Taxes increase the prices of goods and services

Total amount paid = total price of items purchased + tax amount

total price of items purchased = $0.99 +  $2.25 + $0.75 = $3.99

Tax amount = 0.075 x $3.99 = $0.299

Total amount paid = $4.29

start by isolating the variable on one side by adding 43w^2 to both sides.   the equation will read:

25w^2+5=0

*subtract 5 from both sides*

25w^2=-5

*divide both sides by 25*

w^2=-1/5

*take the square root of both sides*

w=√(-1/5)

the square root of -1 is i.   the square root of 5 remains √5

the answer is i/√5.
