Jermaine lives in north carolina and pays 5.5% in sales tax. if he just bought a pair of slacks that cost $28, what was the total amount he paid for the slacks, including sales tax?

$29.54

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jermaine lives in North Carolina and pays 5.5% in sales tax.

Cost of a pair of slacks = $28

Now Tax = 5.5 %

So, Amount of tax =

                             =

                             =

                             =

So, Total amount including tax = Cost of slacks + tax amount

                                                  =

                                                  =

Hence the total amount he paid for the slacks, including sales tax is $29.54

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
