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!

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Teresa drive <u>90 miles</u> on Tuesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Teresa drove on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

On monday her driving distance was 120 miles.

The ratio of Wednesdays distance is 3/5.

The ratio of Wednesdays distance to Tuesday's distance is 5/4.

Now, to find the miles Teresa drive on Tuesday:

Teresa driving distance on Monday was = 120 miles.

Her driving distance on Wednesday is = \frac{3}{5}\ of\ 120.

=\frac{3}{5} \times 120\\\\=0.6\times 120\\\\=72\ miles.

Now, her driving distance on Tuesday is:

\frac{5}{4} \ of\ 72\\\\=\frac{5}{4} \times 72\\\\=1.25\times 72\\\\=90\ miles.

Therefore, Teresa drive 90 miles on Tuesday.
