Eric bought a suitcase for $39.95, a garment bag for $79.95, and a briefcase for $24.99. If the sales tax on these items is 6%, how much will the sales tax be?

Therefore the total sale tax will be $ 8.6934

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, Eric bought a suitcase for $39.95, a garment bag  for $79.95 and briefcase for $26.99.

The sale tax on the above items is 6%.

6% sale tax means if a item price $100 then sale tax is $6.

The sale tax of the suitcase is

                                                 =$ 2.397

The sale tax of the garment bag

                                                      =$ 4.797

The sale tax of the briefcase  

                                                 =$ 1.4994

Therefore the total sale tax will be = $(2.397+4.797+1.4994)

                                                          =$ 8.6934

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
