Answer:
36.36
Step-by-step explanation:
We can express 10% as a decimal by multiplying it by (1/100), resulting in 0.1. Therefore, adding 0.1 of the original price, or x, to the price will result in 40, so x+0.1*x=40
= 1.1x
Dividing both sides by 1.1, we get that x, or the original price, is $36.36 (approximately).
Answer:
a. <u>saletax</u><u> </u>= 98.75
100
<u>5</u><u> </u> = <u> </u><u>9</u><u>8</u><u>.</u><u>7</u><u>5</u>
100 1
we cross multiple
5(1) = 100(98.75)
5 = 100(98.75)
<u> </u><u> </u>divide both side by 5
<u>5</u><u> </u><u> </u>= <u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>(</u><u>9</u><u>8</u><u>.</u><u>7</u><u>5</u><u>)</u>
5 5
since 100 can divide 5 so we divide them
= 20(98.75)
amount sale tax = 1975
b. 98.75 × 5 =493.75$
