Each day his study time is increasing. Find a common denominator, in this case 8
1/4 = 2/8
5/8 = 5/8
1 = 8/8
So he went from
2/8 to 5/8 to 8/8 which is an increase of 3/8 each day. If this pattern continues Thursday would be 11/8 and Friday 14/8.
14/8 = 1 6/8 = 1 3/4 hours
(an hour and 45 minutes)
You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427
When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.
To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7
So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%
