Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were five rummers in the team;

Each runner finished one after the other

Total. Points scored =. 55

Let the positions of each runner be :

1sr runner = p

2nd runner =.p + 1

3rd runner =.p + 2

4th runner =.p + 3

5th runner =.p + 4

(1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th +. 5th) runner = 55

(p + p + 1 + p + 2 + p + 3 + p + 4) = 55

5p + 10 = 55

5p = 55 - 10

5p = 45

p = 9

Hence,

1st runner = 9th

2nd runner = 9 + 1 = 10th

3rd runner = 9 + 2 = 11th

4th runner = 9 + 3 = 12th

5th runner = 9+ 4 = 13th

A man purchased a magazine at the airport for $2.69. The tax on the purchase was $0.13. What is the tax rate at the airport? The
alexdok [17]

We need to find the percent, let's start but making the equation.

The price is 2.69

The tax cost is 0.13

So what percent of 2.69 is = 0.13.

Equation: X/100 x 2.69 = 0.13

Multiply each side by 100 so we can get x alone with the price: 2.69x = 13

Now to get x alone, we must divide both sides by 2.69: x = 4.8

Finally, we just round 4.8 to the nearest whole number, which is 5 (5 or above give it a shove, 4 or below let it go, we have 8 so we give it a shove). This means that the answer will be 5%.

I hope this helps! :)
