Answer:
$1683.50
Step-by-step explanation:
You are expected to know that a "mill" is one thousandth of a dollar. In this context, it is the amount of tax on one dollar of assessed valuation. So, the tax amount is found by multiplying the valuation by 18.5/1000:
tax = 0.0185 · $91,000 = $1683.50
Answer:
Roughly 18,000
Step-by-step explanation:
When you need to do rough mental math, you can do something like 720 vs 25 or 30 which is pretty simple to do in your head.
If you are very proficient in mental math, you can do something like 720 * 25, which is harder, but if you know the tricks, you can do this quickly.
720 * 25
Multiply 25 by 7.
175
Add two zeros.
17,500
Multiply 25 by 2
50
Add a zero.
500.
17500 + 500 = 18000
• So we know that.....
x represent bags of snack and y is bottles of water.
This equations shows the total amount and the cost of each water bottle and snack:
20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y
Total: $20.00
Snack: $2.50
Water Bottle: $1.00
And this question shows the total items:
11 = x + y
Which there will be some snack + some water bottle = 11 items
—————————————————————
• Now I’m going to first solve for x, which is the amount of bags of snack.
I will use the equation, 11 = x + y.
(First, we’ll subtract y from both side, since we’re solving for x [UNDO])
11 = x + y
-y = - y
_______
11 - y = x —> so x is equal to 11 minus y.
—————————————————————
• Now we’re going to plug the 11 - y as x in the equation: 20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y to solve for y.
20.00 = 2.50 (11 - y) + 1.00y
20.00 = 27.5 - 2.50y + 1.00y (Distributed)
20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y (Combine like terms)
20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y
-27.5 = -27.5 (Subtract -27.5 both side)
——————————
-7.5 = - 1.50y
-7.5 = -1.50y
—— ——— (Divide both side by -1.50)
- 1.50 = -1.50
5 = y
y is equals to 5, which means that there are 5 water bottles.
Now we know there are 11 items total and because there are 5 water bottles, there will be 6 bags of snacks. 11-5=6
—————————————————————
ANSWER:
They bought 6 bags of snacks! :)
