Answer:
<em>The tax is $1.54 and the price after tax is $31.54</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
The procedure to add a percentage ratio p to a given quantity q is:
* Calculate the increase as i = p*q/100
* Add the increase to the original quantity to get the final quantity f=q + i
It's given the sales tax rate in New Mexico is p=5.125%. A pair of pants in New Mexico costs q=$30 before tax.
* The increase (tax) is i = (5.125*30)/100 = $1.54
* The price after tax is f = $30 + $1.54 = $31.54
The tax is $1.54 and the price after tax is $31.54
The expression to represent this would be (m-18)/k.
We first subtract the 18 beads she used in her mother's bracelet from her beginning number, m. We then divide our result by k, the number of bracelets she made for her friends.
Hello!
Let's put this into a system of equations and have a represent the apples and o represent the oranges.
o=2a+2
0.5o-0.5a=4
Since we can already so what o equals (2a+2) we will substitute it into the second equation and solve for a.
0.5(2a+2)-0.5a=4
1a+1-0.5a=4
1.5a+1=4
1.5a=3
a=2
Now that we know the value of a will put a into the first equation to find o.
o=2(2)+2
o=4+2
o=6
There were 6 oranges and 2 apples.
I hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 11=2(4x-7) + 25
8x + 11 = 8x - 14 + 25
8x + 11=8x- 14 + 14 +25 + 11
8x-8x + 11 -11 = 14 + 25 + 11
8x-8x =14 + 25 + 11
X = 50
