Nick wants to purchase a pair of binoculars that is on sale for $155.75. The sales tax rate in his county is 6.5% Calculate the amount of sales tax Nick will pay on the purchase. Round to the nearest cent if necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the cost of binoculars is $155.75

and also the sales tax is 6.5%

Step two:

We want to first solve for the sales tax which is 6.5% of  $155.75

=6.5/100* 155.75

=0.065*155.75

=10.12

Nick will pay a tax of $10.12

Also Nick will pay a total amount of

= 155.75+10.12

=$165.87

d 25 pi/6

step-by-step explanation:

the diameter is 10 inches

the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 5 inches

the area of the circle is

a = pi r^2

  = pi 5^2

  = 25 pi

the slice is 60 degrees of the entire circle.

60 degrees out of 360   60/360 = 1/6

the area of the slice is 1/6 of the circle

a slice = 1/6 a circle

a slice = 1/6 * 25 pi

faster, im not sure why but i know it is faster
