Multiply 5% by 229
So, .05 x 229 = 11.45
$11.45 tax
If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
(1) 20p + 9t = 44.4
(2) (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51
The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.
The answer is the third choic, or the line with the same slope.
8/10 x 1 3/5 = ?
first u need to find the mixed fraction is 8/5: 1 3/5 = 8/5
8/10 x 8/5 = 64/50
64/50 in simplest form: 32/25
32/25 equals to 1 7/25
so the answer is 1 and 7/25
Since the .16 is in the hundredths place, the fraction is 2 16/100, or 216/100
But if you need to simplify it it's 2 4/25, or 54/25
