Make 4% a decimal, which is .04 and multiply that by the price, 40.00$ to get the tax, which is 1.60$, add this to 40.00$ to equal 41.60$

Answer: k = 59°

Steps:
180 - 77 = 103

103 + 18 + k = 180
121 + k = 180
k = 180 - 121
k = 59

Check:
103 + 18 + k = 180
103 + 18 + 59 = 180

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cyclists the group needs to raise at least $57,000 must be at least 1000 cyclists
Let x represent the number of cyclists.
Since, the activists receive $60 per cyclist entry and $15,000 in donations, hence:
Revenue = 60x + 15000
Also, the cost of the race is $18 per entry, hence:
Cost = 18x
They need to raise at least $57,000, hence:
Profit ≥ 57000
Revenue - Cost ≥ 57000
(60x + 15000) - 18x ≥ 57000
42x ≥ 42000
x ≥ 1000
Therefore the number of cyclists the group needs to raise at least $57,000 must be at least 1000 cyclists
