1/2*(2*8)=3*(-12)
1/2*16=3*(-12)
1/2*16= -36

At a dinner, one meal cost $22 and a sales tax of $1.87 was added to the bill.

raketka [301]

Answer:

5.61; 8.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax = $1.87 per $22 meal

For a $66 meal,

Tax = 66 × 1.87/22

Tax = 3 × 1.87

Tax = $5.61

=====

Tax rate = 1.87/22 × 100

Tax rate = 0.085 × 100

Tax rate = 8.5 %

ASAP PLEASE HELP!! “Find the quotient”

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The quotient is $\frac{x(2x-3)}{7}$ answer (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2x-3}{x}$ ÷ $\frac{7}{x^{2} }$

In division with fractions we reverse the fraction after division sign and change division sign to multiplication sine

$\frac{2x-3}{x}$ × $\frac{x^{2} }{7}$

$\frac{2x-3}{1}$ × $\frac{x}{7}$

$\frac{x(2x-3)}{7}$
