Jim bought some nice running shoes for $216. The sales tax is 6.5% and he is paying cash with bills only because
he doesn't have any change. What is the least amount
he should give the cashier?

I believe the answer is $ 231.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

I might be wrong, but please don't hate me if I am!!

First I found the sales tax of the nice running shoes by multiplying the price of the shoes by the sales tax:

216 * 6.5% = 14.04

Then I added the sales tax to the price of the nice running shoes:

$ 216 + $ 14.04 = $ 230.04

Since Jim doesn't have any change and can only pay in cash, you would round $ 230.04 to the nearest dollar:

$ 230.04 is rounded to $ 231.00 :D

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
