Answer:
243
Step-by-step explanation:
999-100= 899 integers
200s 400s 600s 800s excluded so 400 numbers excluded
899 - 400 = 499
20s 40s 60s 80s which are 40 integers x 4 = 160
499 - 160 = 339
2s 4s 6s 8s which are 4 integers x 6 x 4 ( 4 from each 100 ) = 96
339 - 96 = 243 integers
We can add or subtract integer. We can also subtract like terms.
You need to make a series of equations from what you are given first. I am going to use the first letter of each of the names to represent the length of that persons wire.
1/2s=2/5d
3c=s
s+d+c=6 ft
Okay. Now you can combine the first two equations knowing what s equals:
1/2(3c)=2/5d
d=15c/4
Now you have d=15c/4 and s=3c, so you can replace d and s in the third equation.
3c+15c/4+c=6
Then solve for c and plug it into the equation 3c=s to find the length of sarah's wire.
When you plug the equation into a graphing calculator the x-intercept is -5
Or you can set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x.
Answer: $222.73
===========================================
Work Shown:
x = pre-GST price
10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount
x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245
1.10x = 245
x = 245/1.10
x = 222.7272 approximately
x = 222.73 is the price before tax.
------------
Check:
10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27
The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get
22.27+222.73 = 245
which matches the post-GST price mentioned.
The answer is confirmed.
Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this
1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245
