The answer is right above me yw lol
Answer:
1 69/145 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratio's to solve this problem. We will put water over time
214 cups x cups
--------------- = --------------
145 hours 1 hours
Using cross products
214 *1 =145 x
Divide both sides by 125
214/145 = 145x/145
214/145 = x
145 goes into 215 1 time with 69 left over
1 69/145
Answer: $48
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that in Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6% and that an item costs $50.88 including tax.
Let the cost of the item before tax be x. This means that x plus 6% of x equals to $50.88. This can be mathematically expressed as:
x + (6% of x) = $50.88
x + (6/100 × x) = $50.88
x + (0.06 × x) = $50.88
x + 0.06x = $50.88
1.06x = $50.88
When then divide by the coefficient of x
1.06x/1.06 = #50.88/1.06
x = $48
The price before the tax is $48
