Use proportional relationship saw the following from Riley during the money to purchase a new jacket. The one he likes this is 4999. His state tears is 725%. How much money is he need to earn round to the nearest dollar

Answer 1

To find out how much money Riley needs to earn, we first need to calculate the total cost of the jacket including the sales tax.

1. Cost of the jacket: $49.99
2. Sales tax rate: 725%

First, convert the sales tax percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

\[ 725% = \frac{725}{100} = 7.25 \]

Next, calculate the total sales tax:

\[ \text{Sales tax} = \text{Cost of the jacket} \times \text{Sales tax rate} \]

\[ \text{Sales tax} = 49.99 \times 7.25 \]

Now, calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Sales tax} = 49.99 \times 7.25 ≈ 362.43 \]

Now, add the sales tax to the original price of the jacket to get the total amount Riley needs to pay:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost of the jacket} + \text{Sales tax} = 49.99 + 362.43 \]

\[ \text{Total cost} ≈ 412.42 \]

Rounding to the nearest dollar:

\[ \text{Total cost} \approx 412 \]

Therefore, Riley needs to earn approximately $412 to purchase the jacket.
