Answer: 23 , 24 , 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow each other in order.

Let the first number be x , the second number be x + 1 and the third number number be x + 2.

From the first statement :

Their sum implies :

x + x +1 + x + 2 = 72

3x + 3 = 72

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

3x + 3 - 3 = 72 - 3

3x = 69

Divide through by 3

3x/3 = 69/3

Therefore :

x = 23

Therefore :

The numbers are

23 , 24 and 25

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The sales tax percentage of the store manager report is 7.41%

<h3>How to solve for the sales tax percentage</h3>

Customers are subject to a charge known as sales tax when they buy goods and services.

It is a pass-through tax, which means you must collect it from clients and send the money to your state or local government. the seller do not contribute sales tax.

The sales tax is first calculated by

= price after tax - price before tax

= 513 - 475

= 38

sales tax percentage is calculated using the formula

= (Tax amount / Price before tax) × 100%

= (38 / 513) * 100

= 7.4074

= 7.41%

Select all of the following ordered pairs that are in the solution set of the inequality shown.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

  • points on the boundary line: (0, 10), (20, 0)
  • solution points not on the boundary line: (100, 100)

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot tell from the posted picture whether the boundary line is solid or dashed, so the answer above is split into two parts. If the boundary line is solid (x+2y≥20), all three listed points are in the solution set. If the boundary line is dashed (x+2y>20), only (100, 100) is in the solution set.
