First, there was $37.50.
Then, there was a tax of 8%.
Then, there was a tip of 18%.
Since the tip is after the tax, it's not going to affect it, and we can essentially ignore it.

The real question here is just <em>what is 8% of $37.50?</em>

To find the percent of something, first you need to put the percent as a decimal.

8% in decimal form is 0.08 (If you think about it literally, they're both 8 hundredths)

Finally, just multiply the percent in decimal form by the number.

37.50 dollars × 0.08 = 3 dollars.<em />

8%= .08 37.50 x .08= $ 3.00 using only the amount of the original bill,since that was what the tax was based on hope this helps

horsena [70]

Answer:

3x + 5 = 12 - 7x

⇒ 3x = 12 - 5 - 7x

⇒ 3x = 7 - 7x

⇒ 3x + 7x = 7

⇒ 10x = 7

⇒ x= 7 ÷ 10

⇒<u> x = 0.7</u>

The hard drive on your computer has a capacity of 160 gigabytes (GB). You have used 122 GB. You want to save some home videos to
QveST [7]

Capacity of the hard drive = 160 GB.

Used space = 122 GB.

Free space = 160 - 122 = 38 GB.

So, the size of the home video collection should be less than or equal to 38 GB.

If u is the amount of space used, then, u ≤ 38

If a is the amount of space available, then a = 38 - u.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:
