The area of a rug is 36 one fourth square feet. The rug is 8 three fourths feet long. What is the length of the rug

Mathematics

Talja [164]3 years ago
4 0
Given: 

Area = 36 1/4 = 36.25 ft^2
Length = 8 3/4 = 8.75 ft

Unless this is a trick question, where the length can be found in the given values of the problem (where the answer would simply be L = 8.75ft), let us solve for the missing measurement, which is the width. A rug is rectangular, so to obtain the width, the area must be divided by the length. This is shown below:

Width = Area / Length
Width = 36.25 / 8.75
Width = 4.14 ft.

Countering a cost $9.40 per sales tax. After sales tax, it cost $9.87. What is the sales tax rate?
Nady [450]
STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)

x= sales tax

Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers

$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87

9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides

9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40

x= 0.47/9.40

x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form


STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage

= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places

= 5% sales tax percent form


ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)

Hope this helps! :)
