You buy a refrigerator for $711. The sales tax rate is 4%. Estimate the sales tax a) $280

b) $28

c) $29

d) $290

B. $28

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the sales tax by finding 4% of 711:

711(0.04)

= 28.44

This is closest to 28.

So, the correct answer is B. $28

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
