WHY CAN'T ANYONE HELP ME? 1. In Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6%. Suppose that an item costs $50.88 including tax. How can we

use algebra to find the price of the item before tax was added? What is the price before tax? Note: Using x = the price before tax, write an equation, and show solving steps to find x. (SOLVE AND CHECK) ($47.83 WON'T BE THE CORRECT ANSWER)

Answer: $48

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that in Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6% and that an item costs $50.88 including tax.

Let the cost of the item before tax be x. This means that x plus 6% of x equals to $50.88. This can be mathematically expressed as:

x + (6% of x) = $50.88

x + (6/100 × x) = $50.88

x + (0.06 × x) = $50.88

x + 0.06x = $50.88

1.06x = $50.88

When then divide by the coefficient of x

1.06x/1.06 = #50.88/1.06

x = $48

The price before the tax is $48

Which of the following graphs best represents the solution to the pair of equations below? y = −x + 6 y = 2x − 3 A coordinate pl
Lera25 [3.4K]
The lines are 

i)  y=-x+6
ii) y=2x-3

The solution of the system of equations is found by equalizing the 2 equations:

-x+6=2x-3

-2x-x=-6-3

-3x=-9

x=-9/(-3)=3

substitute x=3 in either i) or ii):

i)  y=-3+6=3
ii) y=2(3)-3=6-3=3

(the result is the same, so checking one is enough)

This means that the point (3, 3) is a point which is in both lines, so a solution to the system.

In graphs, this means that the lines intersect at (3, 3) ONLY


Answer: The graph where the lines intersect at (3, 3)

Which expressions show the expanded form for 200.06? Choose all answers that are correct. A. 2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/10 + 6 × 1/
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Therefore,

Correct options are

A)  2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/10 + 6 × 1/100

D) 2 × 100 + 6 × 1/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number is

200.06

For option A)

2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/10 + 6 × 1/100

= 200 + 0 + 0 + 0.06

= 200.06

Which is CORRECT.

For option B)

2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/100 + 6 × 1/1,000

= 200 + 0 + 0 + 0.006

=200.006

Which is INCORRECT.

For option C)

2 × 100 + 6 × 1/10

= 200 + 0.6

= 200.6

Which is INCORRECT.

For option D)

2 × 100 + 6 × 1/100

= 200 + 0.06

= 200.06

Which is CORRECT.

Therefore,

Correct options are

A)  2 × 100 + 0 × 1 + 0 × 1/10 + 6 × 1/100

D) 2 × 100 + 6 × 1/100
