Answer:

$193.50

Step-by-step explanation:

start by multiplying 240 by .25 (25%) to find out how much is 25% of 240. this equals 60.

then, subtract $60 from $240. equals 180.

next, to add the sales tax, multiply 180 by 0.075 (7.5%) this is $13.50.

lastly, add the tax, which is $13.50, to the suit's sale price, which is $180.

180+13.5= $193.50

There are 363 students at Meadowbrook High School. There are 10 more

First, put each grade in terms of x. Most grades are compared to Sophomores, so I made that x

Freshmen = x + 10
Sophomores = x
Juniors = x + 20
Seniors = (x + 10) + 7 = x + 17

Then, the total number of students = 363, so we’ll make an equation that adds them all up in terms of x to equal 363

(x + 10) + x + (x + 20) + (x + 17) = 363

Combine like terms:
4x + 47 = 363
Subtract 47 from both sides:
4x = 316
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 79

The question was how many seniors there are. Seniors were x + 17, so 79 + 17 = 96

25x +9x + 4x = 5472

38x = 5472

x = 144

25(144) = 3,600 9(144) = 1,296 4(144) = 576
