During the 1800's, transportation in the form of railroads improved trading and selling of goods and services in the U.S. The railways created major cities along their route and allowed not only goods, but people to go west.
Farming in the west was important during this time period. Before railroad systems, people usually lived, worked, and farmed close to the coastal areas, so travel and shipment of goods was easier. Railroads changed that. Traveling via train was easy and cheaper.
The Byzantine Empire was definitely much more religion oriented than the Western Empire as it became a sort of hub of Christianity and then Islam. Politically it was much more stable compared to the Western Empire as it soon collapsed but the Byzantine Empire was able to prevail well into the medieval ages. <span />
Yes. there were more events leading up to the crash
Think of the problem this way:
$26.50 = 100% of the original price + 6% of the original price (sales tax)
Now, we have this information.
$26.50 = 106% of the original price.
There is no way you can just get 106% to 100%. So, we're going to find 1% of the original price, then multiply by 100.
And since $265 = 1060% of the original price:
$53 = 212% of the original price
53/212 = $1/4
$0.25 = 1% of the original price
$25 = 100% of the original price
Your answer is $25.
