The answer is x=3
1x=3 so that means that one x is the same as 3
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
We can estimate* that the total price including tax of the game will be less than ...
$43.31 +10% of 43.31 = $43.31 +4.33 = $47.61
Todd easily has enough to pay for the game, including tax.
_____
You can work this more exactly a couple of ways.
1. Price + tax = 1.085×$43.31 = $46.99 . . . less than Todd's budget
2. Most Todd can afford: $55.50/1.085 = $51.15 . . . more than the game price
_____
* For estimating purposes, we like to use numbers that are easy to compute with. 10% is one such number, as it only requires moving the decimal point.
