@cassidyohrt

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 14 }{ 147 } = \frac{ T }{ 84 }\]
\[14(84) = 147T\]
\[1176 = 147T\]
\[8 = T\]
Tax = $8

Answer 4

147 + 147*x = 147+14

Answer 5

so its 8

Answer 6

@cassidyohrt is that right

Answer 7

The sales tax will be the same percent rate for both items.
For the 1st item,
then 14/147=0.095
0.095*84=8
then answer is 8

Answer 8

yes 8 is the answer @kaylee.carmestro
