(x cookies) / (23 students - (12/2) students) = 2 cookies per student
[x / (23 - 6)] cookies per student = 2 cookies per student
23 students * (2 cookies per students) - 12 cookies = x cookies
The "students" unit cancels
46 cookies - 12 cookies = x cookies
x cookies = 34 cookies
Answer: x = 8

Answer: 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sale tax = $x
Cost price (CP) of the surfboard = $920
Sale tax with cost price of the surfboard = $1,012
Therefore the sale tax ($x) = $1,012 - $920
=$92
Therefore the sale tax percentage = ⁹²/₉₂₀ x 100
= 10%
