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%

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

12800 + 100x \le 24000

A maximum of 112 number of 100 - kilograms can be loaded in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Weight of each crate = 100 kg

The greatest weight that can be loaded in the container = 24000 kg

Weight already loaded in the container = 12800 kg

To find:

The inequality to determine the value x i.e. number of 100 - kilograms that can be loaded in the shipping container?

Solution:

Weight already loaded = 12800 kg

Let the number of 100 - kilograms that can be loaded in the container = x

Weight of x = 100x kg

This combined weight nor be greater than the capacity of the container.

OR we can say, it must be lesser than or equal to greatest weight that can be loaded into the container.

12800 + 100x \le 24000

100x \le 24000 - 12800\\\Rightarrow 100x \le 11200\\\Rightarrow x \le 112

i.e. a maximum of <em>112</em> number of 100 - kilograms can be loaded in the container.
