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!

Solve.E6xplain how you get the answer without using a calculator 6/3 + 1/2
fiasKO [112]

I'm just gonna assume that 6/3 and 1/2 are fractions.

First you have to find common denominators for the fractions to be added.

The first common denominator divisible by both the denominators is 6.

So 2x3=6 and 1x3=3

and 3x2+6 and 6x2+12

so that would be 12/6 + 3/6

Then you would proceed to add both of the numerators together which are 12 and 3.

To get a total of 15/6. You can also simplify that into a mixed number 2 1/2.
