Answer:
$429.75
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the tax rate on the sale of the boat: Let r represent that rate. Then,
$12,500r = $562.50. Solving for r, we get r = $562.50 / $12,500 = 0.045
The tax rate is 0.045, or 4.5%.
Applying this tax rate to a boat selling for $9,550:
0.045($9,550) = $429.75. This is the amount of tax on the 2nd boat.

Answer:
38 women
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 9 (1 point)
In the middle school PTA there is a total of 47 men and women. The number of women the PTA is 2 more than four times the number of men. How many women are in the
PTA?
Let the number of men = x
Let the number of women = y
x + y = 47
y = 2 + 4x
We substitute
x + 2 + 4x = 47
Collect like terms
5x = 47 - 2
5x = 45
x = 45/5 = 9
y = 2 + 4x
y = 2 + 4 × 9
y = 2 + 36
y = 38
Therefore, the number of women = y = 38 women
