Answer:

<u>6% sales tax</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

48 / 800 = x / 100

What did you do to turn 800 into 100? Divide by 8.

Since we divided the denominator by 8, we also divide the numerator by 8.

48 / 8 = 6

The exchange rate in some prehistoric village was 6 jagged rocks for every 2 smooth pebbles. Also, one shiny rock could be trade
Scrat [10]

30 Jagged rocks are the same 3 shiny rocks using the exchange rates provided(i.e. option D)

What is an exchange rate?

Exchange rate means the rate at which one item exchanges hands with another, for instance, in this case, 6 jagged rocks are equivalent to 2 smooth pebbles.

6 jagged rocks=2 smooth pebbles

divide both sides by 2

6/2 jagged rocks=2/2 smooth pebbles

3 jagged rocks=1 smooth pebble

We can rewrite as below:

1 jagged rock=1/3 smooth pebble

30jagged rocks=1/3*30 smooth pebbles

30 jagged rocks=10 smooth pebbles

Now we need to convert 10 smooth pebbles to shiny rock equivalence

3 smooth pebbles=1 shiny rock

1 smooth pebble=1/3 shiny rock

10 smooth pebbles=1/3*10 shiny rocks

10 smooth pebbles=3 shiny rocks( even though it is 3.33, but the final answer should be rounded to a whole number)

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations 1/2x-3/4y=11/60 and 2/5x+1/6y=3/10
Leona [35]

Answer:

(\frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5})

Step-by-step explanation:

The fastest way to do this is to convert both equations into slope-intercept form and graph it to find the solution point. If you wanted to do this algebraically, you might want to start out by getting rid of the fractions and using either substitution or elimination to find x and y.
