Answer:
$13.25
Step-by-step explanation:
First you add everything up to get you to $15.70, then the 20% is changed to .2 which you then multiply 15.70 by .2 giving you 3.14. You then take 15.70 minus 3.14 which then gets you to 12.56. Then you take the tax of 5.5% and times $12.56 by it, giving you 69 cents, as your tax. Add those together to get 13.25, and then your finished.
Answer:
the sugar cookie dough is $5 each and the gingerbread is $10 each.
Lets say, for ease, that the vat can hold a total of 70 gallons (or whatever you would like to use.) Use whatever number you want, I just picked this because it gives us a lot of clean numbers.
Now, if the inlet can fill it in 7 hours, that means that it is adding 10 gallons per hour. (70 gal/7 hours = 10 gal/hr)
For the outlet, use the same process, and you find that it drains the vat at 7 gallons per hour.
So, if you subtract the outlet from the inlet, you get 10 - 7 = 3 gallons per hour added.
Now just divide the size of the vat by that number, and you find your answer.
70 gallons / 3 gallons per hour = 23 1/3 hours.
