Answer: $6.32
Step-by-step explanation:
$79.00 x .08 = $6.32 sales tax
Let’s call the numbers x and y. Let’s also say that x is the smaller of the two. Since their difference (the answer you get when you subtract is 44 and a half) we know that y-x=44.5
Next we are told that if the smaller increases 7 times (that means 7x) their difference would be 10 3/14. Let’s write that as a fraction. It is 14x10+3 over 14. That is 143/14.
So this means y-7x=143/14.
We have two equations and two unknowns (a system of equations). We write one over the other and subtract them to get:
y-x=44.5
y-7x=143/14
Subtracting yields:
(y-y)+(-x - - 7x) = 44.5 - 143/14
6x = (89/2) - (143/14)
6x= 623/14 - 143/14
6x=480/14
X= (480/14)(1/6)
X=80/14
x= 40/7 = 5 5/7
Since y-x=89/2
We get y - 40/7 = 89/2
Y = 40/7 + 89/2
Y = 80/14 + 623/14
Y = 703/14 = 50 3/14
Assuming that all the animals are dogs, the number of legs there are would be 240.
60*4=240 legs
240-148=92 legs
All the 92 legs belong to the chickens, so there are 46 chickens.
Since there are 46 chickens,
60-46=14 dogs
Answer:
Mode: 44 (mode is biggest number)
Mean: 30 (the average between numbers)
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculating the Mean
44 + 43 = 87
25 + 8 = 33
87 + 33 = 120
120 + 30 = 150
150/5 = 30
