Answer:
The purchase price is $180
The total price is: $189
Step-by-step explanation:
Sales tax rate = 5\%
Sales tax on bike = $9
We need to find the purchase price.
Let purchase price = x
We know that Sales tax = 5% of x
and Total price = Purchase Price + Sales tax
So, we can write:
Sales tax = 5% of x
Putting values and finding x
So, the value of x i.e Purchase price = $180
The purchase price is $180
Now finding the total price of bicycle
Total price = Purchase Price + Sales tax
Total price = 180 + 9
Total price = $189
So, The total price is: $189
I would start by setting up a chart like I did below.
Label one column age now and the other age in 5 years.
Since we don't know the son's age we use x.
We do know that the man's age is 4 times the son's age.
So the man's age will be 4x.
In the age in 5 year column, we add 5 to their current ages.
Now set up our equation.
Since it says "in five years" we use information in second column.
In 5 years time, he, "4x + 5", will be, equals,
3 times as old as his son, "3(x + 5)".
So we have 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5).
Solving from here, we find that x = 10.
So the son is 10 and the man is 4 times his age or 40.
