<span>A = 157, B = 23
The definition of supplementary angles is that they add up to 180 degrees. So A+B = 180. And A = 7B - 4.
So write down the formula
A + B = 180
Substitute the formula for A in terms of B
7B - 4 + B = 180
Combine terms
8B - 4 = 180
Add 4 to both sides
8B = 184
Divide both sides by 8
B = 23
Now calculate A in terms of B
A = 7B - 4
A = 7 * 23 - 4 = 161 - 4 = 157
Verify that A and B add up to 180
157 + 23 = 180</span>
$59.77. Turn the percent into a decimal by moving the decimal to the left two places (7.5 to 0.075). Then multiply the new decimal by the cost (55.60×0.075=4.17). 4.17 would be the total sales tax, so then add it to the price (55.77+4.17=59.77). Hope that helped.
