Let x =  price of the bike before a sales tax.

The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars

Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50

Answer: 158.50

A team from the high school went on a science-and-math quiz show. The science questions were worth 1 point and the math question
pentagon [3]

Answer:

for science the number of question is 3

And, for math it would be 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Total questions answered is 8

And, earned points is 13

Let us assume the science question be x

And, the math question be y

Now the equation would be

x + 2y = 13

And the second equation would be

x + y = 8

Now solve the both equation

y = 5

So, the x = 3

hence, for science the number of question is 3

And, for math it would be 5
