Answer:

The total money spend on total tax of purchase is $4.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The percentage of sales tax applied on gasoline purchase = 8.5%

The percentage of excise tax applied on gasoline purchase = 10%

The price of gasoline before tax = $25

Let The total money on total tax of purchase = $x

Now, Total percentage of tax = sales tax percentage + excise tax percentage

i.e  Total percentage of tax = 8.5% + 10%

Or,  Total percentage of tax = 18.5%

<u>Again</u>

total money on total tax of purchase = $25 of total total tax percentage

Or, x = $25 × 18.5%

Or, x = $25 × \dfrac{18.5}{100}

Or, x = $25 × 0.185

∴  x = $4.625

So,The total money on total tax of purchase = x = $4.625

Hence,The total money spend on total tax of purchase is $4.625 Answer

Solve for x x=750+125.75x
olga2289 [7]
X=750+125.75x
subtract to variable (x) on one side
x-125.75x=750+125.75x-125.75x
-124.75x=750
divide -124.75 to get variable (x) by itself
-124.75x/-124.75=750/-124.75
x=-3000/499
or
x=-6 6/499
or
x=-6.01202

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios: 0.38, 0.93, 0.36

0.38    I    \  0.93        right triangle

            I        \

            I_____\

              0.36

so this means a^2 + b^2 = c^2 would be true if these ratio worked

(0.36)^2 + (0.38)^2 = (0.93)^2

0.1296 + 0.1444 = 0.8649             NOT TRUE
