Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first group of people take x candies each
and second group of people take y candies each
5x + 7y will be total candies
5x +7y = 239 (needed to find positive solution of x,y)
now take x=38, y =7
or x=31, y= 12
hence lots of possibilities ,so we can not say exactly
X= sales tax %
Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)
Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %
The sales tax is 5%.
Hope this helps! :)
