8.6.
Those symbols are absolute value symbols which calculate the distance from 0 of the value inside.
-8.6 is 8.6 units away from 0
Gg easy
divide both sides by 2
t+1=5
minus 1 both sides
t=4
Answer:
n = y/(r+s)
Step-by-step explanation:
(rn+sn) / y = 1
Multiply each side by y
(rn+sn) / y *y= 1*y
rn+sn = y
Factor out n
n(r+s) = y
Divide each side by (r+s)
n(r+s) / (r+s) = y/(r+s)
n = y/(r+s)
First, determine the difference between the amount Percy paid and the price of the basketball. That is, $24.10 - $22.99 = $1.11. Divide this value by the price of the basketball and multiply the quotient by 100% to get the tax rate.
($1.11 / $22.99) x 100% = 4.8%
Thus, the sales tax is approximately equal to 4.8%.
