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%
