Steve got his car fixed for $557. After taxes it cost him $594. What was the tax rate to the nearest %?

1 answer:

6 0

You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427

When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.

To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7

So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%

Peter has twice as many stickers as Joe. Joe has 40 more stickers than Emily. They have 300 Stickers altogether. How many sticke

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations derived from given info.

P=2J
J=E+40
P+J+E=300

Use some substitution now.

P=2(E+40)
J=E+40
P+J+E=300

Substitute first and second equation into third.

2(E+40)+E+40+E=300
2E+80+E+40+E=300
4E+120=300
4E=180
E=45

Emily has 45 stickers. But we want to know what Peter has.

Use P=2(E+40)

P=2(45+40)
P=90+80
P=170

Peter has 170 stickers.

inn [45]

Answer: 112 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the width of the rectangular piece of wood is 4 inches and the width of the strip ribbon is 1/4 inches.

Then, let be "n" the number of strips ribbon that Laura needs to cover the width of the rectangular piece of wood (Assuming that she will cover the wood in the form shown in the figure attached). This is:

$n=\frac{4in}{\frac{1}{4}in}\\\\n=16$

To find the lenght of ribbon that Laura needs to conver the wood, you must multiply the number of strips ribbon "n" by the lenght of the rectangular piece of wood, then you get:

$lenght=(16)(7in)\\lenght=112in$
