Assume that the number of leaves raked by Adam is x.
Tapiwa raked 5% more leaves than Adam, this means that:
Leaves raked by Tapiwa = x + 0.05x = 1.05x liters
We are given that the total number of raked leaves is 697 liters.
This means that:
Total raked = raked by Adam + raked by Tapiwa
697 = x + 1.05x
697 = 2.05x
x = 697 / 2.05 
x = 340
Based on the above calculations:
Adam raked 340 liters of leaves
Tapiwa raked 1.05(340) = 357 liters of leaves

The sale tax rate is 7.5%. What is the tax on a $14.80 purchase.
SSSSS [86.1K]
Okay! Assuming this only wants the tax that will be added to the total, multiply the decimal percent by the cost of the item.

7.5% = .075

14.80 * .075 = 1.11

1.11 of tax will be added onto the total cost.

The total cost would be 15.91, which you can get from adding 14.80 to 1.11 or by doing 14.80 * 1.075. Regardless, the answer to this question is 1.11.

The 2 in the middle is the one that I needed help <br> Please

Answer:

The equation is p=34a+12, and a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is all of the sides added together

p=12a+6a+8+6a+8+10a-4

Combine like-terms

p=34a+12

Solve for a by making p equal to 250

250=34a+12

Subtract 12 from both sides

238=34a

Divide both sides by 34

7=a
