Answer:

<u>The small box weights 15 pounds, and the large box weights 45 pounds.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given to answer the question correctly:

Weight of small and large box combined = 60 pounds

Truck is transporting 70 large boxes and 55 small boxes

Total weight of the boxes the truck is carrying = 3,975 pounds

2.  How much does each type of box weigh?

Weight of the small box = x

Weight of the large box = 60 - x

For solving the value of x, we use the following equation:

70 * (60 - x) + 55 * x = 3,975

4,200 - 70x + 55x = 3,975

- 15x = 3,975 - 4,200 (Like terms)

- 15x = -225

x = 15 (Dividing by 15 at both sides)

<u>The small box weights 15 pounds, therefore the large box weights 45 pounds (60 - 15).</u>

While looking at some reports, a store manager notes that televisions that retail for $475 and up costing customers $513 once th
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The sales tax percentage of the store manager report is 7.41%

<h3>How to solve for the sales tax percentage</h3>

Customers are subject to a charge known as sales tax when they buy goods and services.

It is a pass-through tax, which means you must collect it from clients and send the money to your state or local government. the seller do not contribute sales tax.

The sales tax is first calculated by

= price after tax - price before tax

= 513 - 475

= 38

sales tax percentage is calculated using the formula

= (Tax amount / Price before tax) × 100%

= (38 / 513) * 100

= 7.4074

= 7.41%
