Answer: $222.73
===========================================
Work Shown:
x = pre-GST price
10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount
x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245
1.10x = 245
x = 245/1.10
x = 222.7272 approximately
x = 222.73 is the price before tax.
------------
Check:
10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27
The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get
22.27+222.73 = 245
which matches the post-GST price mentioned.
The answer is confirmed.
Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this
1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245
Okay so, togo flies 30 miles in 3/5 of an hour with the wind.togo flies 30 miles in 5/6 of an hour against the wind. his rate of speed with the wind was 30 / (3/5) = 30*5/3 = 150/3 = 50 mph.his rate of speed against the wind was 30 / (5/6) = 30*6/5 = 6*6 = 36 mph.3/5 of an hour times 50 mph = 30 miles.
5/6 of an hour times 36 mph = 30 miles.mph looks good.
going he was with the wind.
his rate of speed then was the airplane speed plus the wind speed.coming back he was against the wind.his rate of speed then was the airplane speed minus the wind speed.-----50 mph = A + W36 mph = A - W-----looks like A + W - (A - W) should equal 50 - 36.removing parentheses, equation becomesA + W - A + W = 14.
combining like terms, the equation becomes2*W = 14.dividing both sides by 2, equation becomesW = 7.if W = 7, then A can be found as follows:50 = A + 7A = 43.likewise,36 = A - 7A = 43.since the airplane speed is the same, it looks like the answer is good.solving in the original equations, we get3/5 * (43 + 7) = 303/5 * 50- = 3030 = 30good.-----5/6 * (43 - 7) = 305/6 * 36 = 3030 = 30good.
answer is W = 7 and A = 43.
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1
