Answer:

x + 0.05x = 15, solution is $14.29

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation for this scenario to try and solve it.

Assuming the cost of the CD is x, it’s sale tax will be 0.05x (as that is 5% of x, 0.05.)

We can write the equation in two ways:

x + 0.05x = 15 or 1.05x = 15.

Assuming we take the second one (easier to work with), we can divide both sides by 1.05. The equation simplifies to x = 14.289... which rounds to x = 14.29.

Therefore, the equation is x + 0.05x = 15 and the solution is $14.29.

Hope this helped!

Marco and Drew stacked boxes on a shelf. Marco lifted 9 boxes and Drew lifted 14 boxes. The boxes that Drew lifted each weighed
MrRa [10]
The correct answer is b. 14(m-8).

This is because it says that the weight of the boxes drew lifted were 8 pounds less than what marco lifted.  This can be represented by m-8.  You then need to multiply this by the amount of boxes that drew lifted, or 14.
