Answer: 23, 25, 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 3 consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2 and x+4.
So
2x+(x+2)+3(x+4)=152
2x + x + 2 + 3x + 12 = 152
6x+14=152
6x = 152 - 14
x=138/6
x=23
So, the numbers are 23, 25 and 27.
Answer: $48
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that in Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6% and that an item costs $50.88 including tax.
Let the cost of the item before tax be x. This means that x plus 6% of x equals to $50.88. This can be mathematically expressed as:
x + (6% of x) = $50.88
x + (6/100 × x) = $50.88
x + (0.06 × x) = $50.88
x + 0.06x = $50.88
1.06x = $50.88
When then divide by the coefficient of x
1.06x/1.06 = #50.88/1.06
x = $48
The price before the tax is $48
