Sales tax is a percentage of the sale price of an item that is then added on to the total price of the item.
Example:
let's say you are buying an item priced at $10.00 and the sales tax rate is 6%. Sales tax rates can vary from state to state and even within counties or cities.
x -y = 1
5x + 3y = 45
Solve the first equation for x: x = y + 1
Substitute x in the second with y + 1
5x + 3y = 45
5(y + 1) + 3y = 45
5y + 5 + 3y = 45
8y + 5 = 45
8y = 40
y = 5
Substitute 5 for y in x = y + 1
x = y + 1
x = 5 + 1
x = 6
Answer: (6, 5)
Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
10000 = 5000 = 50% + 9000 = 40%
According to the picture, angles 1 and 2 have the same measure because they are corresponding angles. Make equal both expressions for 1 and 2 and find x.

x is 3/2. Replace this value in both expression to find the measure of each angle.

The measure of these angles is 47°
Answer:
P = 128 Post
Step-by-step explanation:
Total post needed = 216 posts
Number of post Jerry has = 88 posts
Number of posts jerry still needs = P
Total = Number of post Jerry has + Number of posts jerry still needs
216 = 88 + P
216 - 88 = P
128 = P
P = 128 Post
