We have been given that Grant spent $2.50, $4.00, $4.25, and $3.25 on breakfast in one week. The next week he spent $6 more in total for the 4 breakfasts than the week before. We are asked to find increase in the mean of second week.
Since Grant spent $6 more than last week, we will divide 6 by 4 to get how much mean of second week breakfast expenditures increased with respect to first week expenditures.
Therefore, mean of second week breakfast expenditure will be $1.5 more than first week.
Is the answer to your question 4/15?
(4/5)*what = (2/3)
Multiply by 5/4
.. what = (2/3)*(5/4)
.. what = 5/6
If the total sales are $23152.81 and the sales tax is 5%, take the total sales divided by 1.05 $23152.81/1.05 = $22050.30 (gaves you the sales) to get the sales tax, subtract the total sales from the sales= Sales are $22050.30Tax is $1102.51 hope this helps :)
