The equation that can be used to determine the tax rate, x is ;44.31 = 42 + (x% of 42) where x = 5.5%

<h3>How to write equation</h3>

  • Cost of a shirt = $12.50
  • Cost of each shorts = $14.75

  • Cost of two shorts = 2 × $14.75

= $29.5

  • Total cost = $12.50 + $29.5

= $42

  • Tax rate = x%

  • Total amount paid = $44.31

Total = total cost + x% of total cost

44.31 = 42 + (x% of 42)

44.31 = 42 + 42x/100

44.31 - 42 = 42x/100

2.31 = 42x / 100

x = 2.31 ÷ 42/100

= 2.31 × 100 /42

= 231/42

= 5.5%

Standard issue passenger license plates in Ohio consist of three letters followed by four numbers. How many standard issue licen
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The standard issue license plates that can be produced if there are no restrictions on the letters and numbers = 175760000

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are no restrictions, all numbers and letters are available to be used then. And with no restrictions, every number or letter can appear more than once.

There are 7 spaces available; 3 spaces for letters, 4 spaces for numbers

The different combination of letters and numbers then becomes,

26 × 26 × 26 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

This is because, all 26 letters (A to Z) can occupy the first space, the second space and the third space. And all 10 digits (0 to 9) can occupy the fourth space, the fifth space, the sixth space and the seventh space.

So, the standard issue license plates that can be produced if there are no restrictions on the letters and numbers = 26 × 26 × 26 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 175760000 different standard issue license plates.

Does -2(z+3)-z=-z-4(z+2) have one,zero or infinite solutions
Andrew [12]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

One solution (z = -1)

Discussion:

-2(z+3)-z=-z-4(z+2)        =>

-2z -6 -z = -z -4z - 8       =>

-3z -6 = -5z -8                =>  add 6 to both sides

-2z = -5z -2                     => add 5z to both sides

3z = -5z +5z -3               =>

3z = -3                            =>

z = -1

Thank you,

MrB
