Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall sales - tax formula

The formula for the total cost $C$ after sales - tax is $C=(1 + r)P$, where $r$ is the sales - tax rate (in decimal form) and $P$ is the original price.

A1:

Given $P = 1250$ and $r=0.06$. The sales tax amount $T=rP$. $T = 0.06\times1250=75$.

A2:

Given $P = 500$ and $r = 0.025$. The sales tax amount $T=rP$. $T=0.025\times500 = 12.5$.

B1:

Given $P = 12$ and $r = 0.01$. The total cost $C=(1 + r)P=(1 + 0.01)\times12=1.01\times12 = 12.12$.

B2:

Given $P = 105$ and $r = 0.07$. The total cost $C=(1 + r)P=(1+0.07)\times105=1.07\times105 = 112.35$.

C:

Given $P = 2400$ and $r$ is unknown. We need to find the sales - tax amount. But first, we assume the options are for different scenarios. If we want to find the sales - tax amount when $r$ is not given in the problem statement for this part, we can't solve it with the given information in a non - multiple - choice way. If we assume we are checking the options for a sales - tax calculation with $P = 2400$ and some $r$, without knowing $r$ we can't determine the correct option. However, if we assume a normal sales - tax rate range, say $r = 0.035$ (3.5%), the sales tax amount $T=rP=0.035\times2400 = 84$.

D:

We are not given enough information in the problem statement to directly solve for an answer related to the options.

Answer:

A1. Sales tax amount: $75$ A2. Sales tax amount: $12.5$ B1. Total cost: $12.12$ B2. Total cost: $112.35$ C. Assuming a 3.5% sales - tax rate, sales tax amount: $84$ D. Insufficient information to solve as presented.
