The items Pedro has selected at his local hardware store have a total cost of $130 before tax. If the sales tax is 8.25%, which is closest to the amount of sales tax Pedro can expect to pay?

$10.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Total cost of items = $130

Percentage of Sales tax = 8.25%

Sales tax = Sales tax percent × Cost

Sales tax = 8.25% × $130

Sales tax = 8.25/100 × $130

= 0.0825 × $130

= $10.725

= $10.7

step-by-step explanation:

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
