Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of customers that day be "x"

30% of total customers bought a snack and that is 120.

So we can say:

30% of total (x) is 120

Note: 30% converted to decimal is 30/100 = 0.3

This can be translated to an algebraic equation as:

0.3x = 120

Now, we can solve for x, the total customers:

0.3x = 120

x = 120/0.3

x = 400

Since, 80% bought drink, we find 80% of 400:

80% = 80/100 = 0.8

0.8 * 400 = 320

The store sold 320 drinks and 120 snacks. So drinks outweigh snacks be:

320 - 120 = 200

So,

200 more drinks than snacks

Let the amount Tom does = x

Then Larissa’s time would be 3x( 3 times the amount of Tom)

And Neal would also be 3x

The total of the 3 is 84 hours so as an equation you have:

X + 3x + 3x = 84

Combine like terms

7x = 84

Divide both sides by 7

X = 84/7

X = 12 hours

Tom = x, so Tom exercised for 12 hours.

A plot of land is valued at $18,000.Land tax is charged at the rate of 0.70 per $100. What is the total amount of tax paid for t
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

<em>The total amount of tax paid for the land was $126</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

The land tax charged is 0.7 per each $100 of the land value. For easy calculations, we find the ratio or proportion to be applied to the value of the land as:

0.7 / 100 =0.007

This factor can be used to obtain the tax charged for a given value of the land.

The plot of land of the question is valued at $18,000.

The tax charged is, then:

0.007*18,000 = 126

The total amount of tax paid for the land was $126
