Mathematics

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the tax percent was x%. Then, we can write the equation:

4.75 + x% * 4.75 = 5.13

Notice that both terms on the left have 4.75 so factor that out:

4.75 * (1 + x%) = 5.13

Divide both sides by 4.75:

1 + x% = 5.13/4.75 = 1.08

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x% = 0.08

Remember that % simply means "out of 100", so x% = x/100:

x/100 = 0.08

Multiply both sides by 100:

x = 8

Thus, the tax rate is 8%.

Hope this helps!

If i have 480 grams of pasta for 4 people how many kilograms will i need for 14 people
Afina-wow [57]

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{pasta}{grams}&people\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 480&4\\ g&14 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{480}{g}=\cfrac{4}{14}\implies \cfrac{480}{g}=\cfrac{2}{7} \\\\\\ \cfrac{480\cdot 7}{2}=g\implies 1680=g

now, there are 1000 grams in one Kilogram, so in 1680 grams, there are 1680/1000 Kilograms, namely 1.680.

Nora got an allowance of 50¢ each weekday and 75¢ each weekend altogether how much do they get in:
Furkat [3]
A) > since it is 50c per weekday and 75c each weekend assuming it allows for the 2 days each saturday/sunday.
50c * 5 = $2.50 since there are 5 days in weekdays
75c * 2 = $1.50 since there are 2 days in the weekend
Add $2.50 and $1.50 to get $4.00

b) For 3 school days we know it is a weekday on the school week.
So perform 50c * 3 which gives us <span>$1.50

</span>c) 12 days off from school is 10 weekdays and 1 weekend or 2 days of 75c
So now just do 50c * 10 which is $5.00 and 75c * 2 which is $1.50
Add $5.00 and $1.50 and we get $6.50

d) 4 weeks = 20 weekdays since 5 *4 = 20 and 8 days in each weekend since 2 * 4 = 8
Now that we have the amount of weekdays and weekend days we can multiply.
50c * 20 = $10.00
75c * 4 = $3.00
Add $10.00 and $3.00 to get $13.00 for 4 weeks.

e) We have 1 day of the weekend and 2 weekdays here.
50c * 2 = $1.00
75c * 1 = 75c
<span>$1.00 + 75c = $1.75 in those 3 days listed.
</span>
Add all these together to get your total value.
$4.00 + $1.50 + $6.50 + $13.00 + $1.75 = $26.75
