What is the total price on a suit which sells for $490.50 if the tax is 8%?

The total price is $529.74

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is an example of percentage increase.

To work out the total price you would first have to convert the percentage into a decimal. You can do this by dividing the percentage of 8% by 100, this gives you 0.08. This is because percentages are out of 100.

The next step is to add the value of 0.08 and 1, this gives you 1.08. This is because you are working out the percentage increase.

The final step is to multiply the amount of $490.50 by the value of 1.08, this gives you $529.74. This is because we are finding the percentage increase of 8%.

1) Divide 8 by 100.

2) Add 0.08 by 1.

3) Multiply $490.50 by 1.08.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
