It is important to look at all details given in the question very carefully.
Amount of sales tax taken on the sofa = $43.13
Actual cost of the sofa = $575
Let us assume the percentage of sales tax taken = x%
Then
(x/100) * 575 = 43.13
5.75x = 43.13
x = 43.13/5.75
   = 7.50 percent
So the percentage of sales tax charged for the sofa was 7.50%.I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. Based on this procedure, similar problems can be done with absolute ease.

The mean sustained wind velocity, v, can be determined by the equation , where p is the air pressure, in millibars, at the cente
inn [45]

The mean sustained wind velocity has the equation:

v = 6.3 √(1013 - p)


If we are given with the mean sustained wind velocity of 64 m/s, then we can solve for the air pressure using the equation:

64 = 6.3 √(1013 - p)

64/6.3 = √(1013 - p)

10.1587² = 1013 - p

p = 910 millibars


hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!

<h3>What is linear equation?</h3>

An equation is deemed to be linear if a variable's maximum power consistently equals 1. Another name for it is a one-degree equation. The form of the linear equation Ax + B = 0 is standard for one-variable linear equations. In this instance, as well as A are variables while B is a constant.

Ax + By = C is the standard form of a two-variable linear equation. This equation contains the variables x and y, the coefficients Both a B, as well as the constant C.

<h3>According to the given data:</h3>

Given that the no. of students is n.

DJ charge - $200 Decorations cost - $100

Charge each student should pay - $5.00

Therefore the equation that find the no. of students to make a profit of $1,500.5.n - 100 - 200 = 1500
