Im assuming the question is asking: if she collected $22 in sales tax what was the cost of the items her store sold. you should make sure you type the question correctly otherwise it'll be hard to answer.
going with my assumption of what the question is, we want to find the total cost of all items her story sold. let that cost be c. since there is 5% sales tax on everything and we know the sales tax is worth $22,m we have:
5%(c) = 22
dividing both sides by 5% (or .05) gives:
c = $440
11) -x + y = -1 ; 2x - y = 0
y = -1 + x ; 2x - (-1+x) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 1 - x = 0 ⇒x = -1
y = -1 + (-1) ⇒ y = -2
12) -2x + y = -20 ; 2x + y = 48
y = -20 + 2x ; 2x + (-20 + 2x) = 48 ⇒ 2x -20 + 2x = 48 ⇒ 4x = 48 + 20
4x = 68 ⇒ x = 68/4 ⇒ x = 17
y = -20 + 2(17) ⇒ y = -20 + 34 ⇒ y = 14
13) 3x -y = -2 ; -2x + y = 3
y = 3 + 2x ; 3x - (3 + 2x) = -2 ⇒ 3x - 3 - 2x = -2 ⇒ x = -2 + 3 ⇒ x = 1
y = 3 + 2(1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5
14) x - y = 4 ; x - 2y = 10
x = 4 + y ; (4 + y) - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 + y - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 - y = 10
⇒ -y = 10 - 4 ⇒ -y = 6 ⇒ y = -6
x = 4 + (-6) ⇒ x = 4 - 6 ⇒ x = -2
15) x + 2y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 17
x = 5 - 2y ; 3(5-2y) + 2y = 17 ⇒ 15 - 6y + 2y = 17 ⇒ -4y = 17 - 15
⇒ -4y = 2 ⇒ y = -2/4 ⇒ y = -1/2
x = 5 - 2(-1/2) ⇒ x = 5 + 2/2 ⇒ x = 5 + 1 ⇒ x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+3=x+x+3
add the X's on the right side together.
2x+3=2x+3
subtract 2x from both sides
3=3
subtract 3 from both sides
0=0
the statement is true for any value of x
Given:
Total number of cubes = 40
Red cubes = 18
Blue cubes = 13
Yellow cubes = 9
Aysha adds some more red cubes into the bag.
The probability now that she will take a red cube is 0.5.
To find:
The probability that she will take a yellow cube.
Solution:
Let Aysha adds x red cubes into the bag. Then,
Number of total cubes = 40+x
Number of red cubes = 18+x
Probability of getting a red cube is:
The probability now that she will take a red cube is 0.5. So,
Divide both sides by 0.5.
It means Aysha adds 4 more red cubes into the bag.
Now, the total number of cubes int he bag is:
Probability of getting a yellow cube is:
Therefore, the required probability is .
