<h2>HOW TO: SOLVE AN APPLICATION</h2>
Step 1. Identify what you are asked to find and choose a variable to represent it.
Step 2. Write a sentence that gives the information to find it.
Step 3. Translate the sentence into an equation.
Step 4. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques.
Step 5. Check the answer in the problem and make sure it makes sense.
Step 6. Write a complete sentence that answers the question.
Remember that whatever the application, once we write the sentence with the given information (Step 2), we can translate it to a percent equation and then solve it.
Do you pay a tax when you shop in your city or state? In many parts of the United States, sales tax is added to the purchase price of an item. See Figure 6.7. The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price.
To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.
See each answer below.
1) If we subtract 7 from both sides and try to take the square root, we are taking the square root of -7. Therefore, there are no solutions.
2) Dividing by 3 and taking the square root gives an answer of 0.
3) Add 4, multiply by 4 and finally take the square root of each side.You will get positive or negative four.
4) Divide by 4 and then take the square root. You have positive or negative 5/2.
So do 21/7 to give you how much they do in a day. The answer is three so they do 3 aceres in a day.

Answer:
The length of the base is 3.6 and the length of the height is 5.6. Therefore the area of the triangle is 1\2×5.6×3.6=20.16
Length×Width×1\2
