Answer: N = 40,320

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange 10 people to a line of 8 people.

The number of ways is n = 10P8.

But since the condition given states that 2 people must stay in two particular slots.

The number of possible arrangements becomes;

N = number of ways of arranging the remaining people × number of ways of arranging the other 2.

N = 8P6 × 2P2

N = 8!/2! × 2!

N = 20,160 × 2

N = 40,320 ways

Steve got his car fixed for $557. After taxes it cost him $594. What was the tax rate to the nearest %?
I am Lyosha [343]
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%
