A because it’s the right answer
Answer:
91
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the smallest one:
● x is the first number
● x+1 is the second number
● x+2 is the third number
The sum of these numbers is 276
● x+(x+1)+(x+2) =276
● x+x+1+x+2 = 276
● 3x + 3 = 276
Substract 3 from both sides:
● 3x+3-3 = 276-3
● 3x = 273
Divide both sides by 3
● (3x)/3 = 273/3
● x = 91
So the smallest one is 91
It’s -9 because when multiplied it’s about -9
To find the tax rate when given the initial price of an object and the final tax value, you use the equation: $350 * X = $22.75 (where X is the sales tax rate). Then solve:
$22.75/$350 = .065
So the rate is 6.5%
