Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that In Las Vegas, Nevada, stores charge a 4.6% state sales tax and a 3.65% county sales tax. Yuki is purchasing a handbag priced at $220 before tax.
To find sales tax paid by Yuki for her handbag purchase we will find 4.6% of $220 and 3.65% of $220 and add amount of both taxes.
Now let us find county sales tax for handbag purchase.
Now let us add both amount to get total tax paid by Yuki.
Therefore, Yuki paid $18.15 sales tax for her handbag purchase.
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's first set up some variables</u>:
- c: # of children
- a: # of adults
<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>
- Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds
⇒ average child is 75 pounds
⇒ average adult is 150 pounds
⇒<em> therefore</em>:
- Elevator can fit no more than 14 people
⇒ <em>therefore</em>:
<u>Let's graph the equations</u>:
⇒ look at the image attached
<u>The point at which the two graphs intersect:</u>
⇒ <em>is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and </em>
<em> their combine weight</em>
<em />
<u><em>With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults</em></u><em>:</em>
<em> ⇒ the </em><em>solution is 8 children and 6 adults</em>
<em></em>
<u>Answer: 8 children and 6 adults</u>
