To find sales tax, determine the tax, then add it to the original price. To determine the tax, you want to make the percent into a decimal by moving the decimal point over two times the the left, which means 8% would be 0.08. Then, multiply the new decimal by the price. 60 times 0.08 is 4.8. Now, add the tax to the original price. 60+4.8=64.8, so therefore the total cost is $64.8

3. If Alex puts the cake in at 2:20 pm and sets a timer for 55 minutes, the timer will go off at 3:15 pm. Think if it like this, 2:20 pm + 1 hour (60 minutes) is 3:20 pm. Then just subtract five minutes, making it 3:15 pm.

4. If 4 cups are in 1 quart, then 8 cups are in 2 quarts. HOWEVER, the question is asking for how many 1/2 cups in 2 quarts. Basically, there are 16 one half cup servings in 2 quarts.
