Answer

Find out the  how much more tax would you pay on a $10 purchase .

To prove

As given

The city of Atlanta recently increased their sales tax from 7.5% to 8%.

Purchase price = $10

7.5 % is written in the decimal form

= 0.075

Tax price on $10 purchase price  when tax rate 7.5% = 0.075 × 10

                                                                                        =  0.75

8 % is written in the decimal form

= 0.08

Tax price on $10 purchase price  when tax rate 8 % = 0.08 × 10

                                                                                        =  0.8

Increase in tax price on $10 purchase = $0.8 - $0.75

                                                              = $ 0.05

Therefore increase in tax price on $10 purchase is $0.05

The option (B) is correct.

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
