The original number is 72
(18+x)/6 = 1+14
1/6x + 3 = 1 + 14 (Distribute)
1/6x + 3 = (1+14) (Combine Like Terms)
1/6x + 3 = 15
- 3 = -3 (Subtract 3 From Both Sides)
1/6x = 12
(1/6x)*6 = 12 * 6 (Multiply Both Sides By 6)
x = 72
Jay's claim is false. They would have $156.8 left which is 56% of their original combined total.
Answer:
3^12
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying the same number with different exponents you have to add the the exponents. For example:
So (3^6)(3)(3^5) or (3^6)(3^1)(3^5) = 3^(6+1+5) = 3^12
Find 20% first
20% of 84 is 16.8
tax is 7% of 84 which is 5.88
total
84+16.8+5.88=$106.68
