Answer:

The correct answer is 8 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a product that costs 3.25. Including the tax, the total amount of this product will be 3.51.

Now we must find out what was the percentage applied to the ice cream.

We do it as follows:

We know that the total tax was 0.26.

To find out the percentage we will use the formula

P=\frac{B}{A} . 100 %

Where P represents the percentage we want to obtain, B is the value of the tax, and A is the value of the product without the tax.

We multiply that result by 100.

P = \frac{0.26}{3.25} . 100

P=0.08 . 100

P= 8%

In this way we can show that 8% is the percentage applied.

You have $10 to go bowling with your friends. You need to rent shoes for $4. Each game (g) costs $3. Write and solve an equation
dexar [7]

Answer:

  • The equation is: x = (y - $4) / g

Where x is the number of games you can play;

y is the amount you have

and g is the cost of each game

  • You can play only 2 games

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, you have $10 to go bowling and you need to rent shoes for $4. Hence, after renting the shoes, you will have $10 - $4 left, that is you will have $6 left. To determine the number of games you can play, that will be the amount you have left after renting shoes divided by the cost of each game.

Let the number of games you can play be x games

and the amount you have be y

and the cost of each game be g

Hence,

x = (y - $4) / g

From the question,

y = $10

and g = $3

∴ x = ($10 - $4)/ $3

x = $6 / $3

x = 2

Hence, you can play only 2 games

A light-year is 5.9 x 10^12 miles. A mile is approximately 6.34 x 10^4 inches. About how many inches are in a light-year? Write
NeTakaya
The answer would be 3.7406 × 10^17. Because when multiplying the constant you would get 37.406 and then you add the exponent and add one more since only one decimal can be over the decimal.

How do you solve equations that contain addition or subtraction
ollegr [7]
To solve an addition problem, you simply add one number to the other. For example, If I want to add 4 to 5, I would write the equation 4 + 5 = 9. To solve a subtraction problem, you simply take a number away from another. For example, If I want to take 5 away from 9, I would write the equation 9 - 5 = 4. Hope I helped! :)
