In the question it is already given that 4 items are being purchased and their individual rates are also given. the percentage of tax that needs to be paid is also given. To find the total amount of tax that has to be paid, you can either calculate the taxes on individual items and then add them or you can add the total amount required for the 4 items and then calculate the tax. Both will yield the same result but the second process is easier.
Cost of all the 4 items purchased = (2.50 + 8.75 + 3.00 + 10.25)
                                                       = 24.50
Percentage of tax that needs to be paid = 6%
Amount of tax that needs to be paid = (6/100) * 24.50
                                                           = 147/100
                                                           = 1.47
So the amount of tax that needs to be paid is 1.47.

Solve this linear system by graphing <br> x-y=6 <br> 2x=12+2y
lys-0071 [83]
You need to isolate the variables. For the first equation add x to both sides, which leaves you with y.

For the second equation, divide each side by 2 leaving you with
x= 6+y. Subtract y from each side. Subtract x from both sides. Now you have y= x + 6.

Now graph those equations.

two friends have a conversation mario tells roberto "the money i have is twice that you have" roberto answer "if you give me 6 d
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Before anyone gives anyone money, Mario has 24 dollars and Roberto has 12 dollars. After they give each other money, both of them have 18 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mario has twice as much as Roberto, BUT if Mario gives Roberto 6 dollars, then they have the same amount.

M = 2R

M - 6 = R + 6

To isolate M, you need to add 6 on both sides.

M - 6 + 6 = R + 6 + 6

M = R + 12

M = 2R

Substitute M for the value above that we found.

R + 12 = 2R

Now we subtract R on both sides, so that only one side has the variable R.

R - R + 12 = 2R - R

12 = R

M = 2R

Substitute for the value of R.

M = 2 x 12

M = 24
