We need to find the percent, let's start but making the equation.
The price is 2.69
The tax cost is 0.13
So what percent of 2.69 is = 0.13.
Equation: X/100 x 2.69 = 0.13
Multiply each side by 100 so we can get x alone with the price: 2.69x = 13
Now to get x alone, we must divide both sides by 2.69: x = 4.8
Finally, we just round 4.8 to the nearest whole number, which is 5 (5 or above give it a shove, 4 or below let it go, we have 8 so we give it a shove). This means that the answer will be 5%.
I hope this helps! :)
The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since <span>meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let </span>
be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for
:
We can conclude that the pole is
4.04 meters tall.
Sub the number in
19 + 4(4)
= 19 + 16
= 35
multiplication is first because of bedmas
