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%

Toby buys packs of 12 racing cars for R49,99 and sells each racing car for R10 at school
Ratling [72]

Answer:

1.1  R5.83

1.2 R70.01

1.3 58.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that he buys a pack of 12 racing cars  for  R49,99 then the unit cost for a car which is the total cost divided by the number of cars in a pack

= R49,99/12

= R4.17

If each car is sold for R10 then the profit made on each car which is the difference between the cost and the selling price

= R10 - R4.17

= R5.83

The profit margin on one pack of 12 racing cars

Profit margin is the ratio of the profit to the total selling price

The total profit (profit on one pack of 12 racing cars)

= R5.83 * 12

=R70.01

Total selling price = R10 * 12

=R120

Margin = R70.01 / R120

= 58.34%

Find the measure of an angle such that the difference between the measures of its supplement and four times its complement is 30
Katarina [22]

Answer:

70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

x = angle

180 - x = it's supplement

90 - x = it's compliment

(180 - x) - 4(90 - x) = 30

180 - x - 360 + 4x = 30

reducing

3x = 210

x = 70
