Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply the tax rate by the sale amount to find the tax:

  0.04 × $251.99 = $10.08 . . . . sales tax on the dresser

__

2. The relation can be written as a proportion:

  area/bags = 150 m²/(0.5 bags) = A/(14 bags)

Multiply by 14 bags.

  (14/0.5)(150 m²) = 4200 m² . . . area covered by 14 bags

Given the length of the room: l= 18 feet and width: w= 12 feet.

The formula to find the area of a rectangle( room)= length * width

= 18*12 feet^2

= 216 feet^2
