    1. If the price of a hockey stick is $20 before tax is added on, and tax is 15%, what will the final price of the hockey stick be?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Answer to Question 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The word that is NOT<\/strong> an example of compounding is F. friendship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Explanation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Compounding is a word-formation process in which two or more words are combined to create a new word with a specific meaning. For example, “notebook” is a compound word formed from “note” and “book.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • A. scarecrow<\/strong> \u2192 Compound<\/strong> (scare + crow)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • B. girlfriend<\/strong> \u2192 Compound<\/strong> (girl + friend)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • C. notebook<\/strong> \u2192 Compound<\/strong> (note + book)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • D. babysitter<\/strong> \u2192 Compound<\/strong> (baby + sitter)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • E. fingerprint<\/strong> \u2192 Compound<\/strong> (finger + print)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • F. friendship<\/strong> \u2192 NOT Compound<\/strong> (Derived from “friend” with the suffix “-ship”)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        “Friendship” is a derivation<\/strong>, not a compound. It is formed by adding the suffix “-ship”<\/strong> to the base word “friend”<\/strong>, rather than by combining two separate words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Answer to Question 2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Final price of the hockey stick:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        The price before tax is $20<\/strong>, and the tax rate is 15%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Tax Amount:<\/strong>
        [
        20 \\times \\frac{15}{100} = 20 \\times 0.15 = 3
        ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Final Price:<\/strong>
        [
        20 + 3 = 23
        ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        So, the final price of the hockey stick after tax<\/strong> is $23<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Explanation:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Taxes are typically calculated as a percentage of the original price. In this case, the tax rate is 15%<\/strong>, meaning for every $100<\/strong>, there would be an additional $15<\/strong> in tax. Since the stick costs $20<\/strong>, we calculate 15% of $20<\/strong>, which is $3<\/strong>, and then add it to the original price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This is a simple percentage calculation using the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        [
        \\text{Final Price} = \\text{Original Price} + (\\text{Original Price} \\times \\text{Tax Rate})
        ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This concept is crucial in real-life situations, especially for understanding retail prices, VAT (Value-Added Tax), and service charges in different countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
