Answer:
x/2 - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x
half a number means x divide by 2. i.e x/2
when decreased by 12 means x/2 - 12
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 but don’t flip the symbol.
You only flip the inequality symbol if you divide by a negative number.
If you’re solving for x (which you are), you want to get x by itself. The only way to do that is to divide by 4.
Note : Since unit of currency is not defined, I'll be using units.
Sales tax on a 15000 units car = 540 units
540 = 15000 × tax% / 100
=> 540 = 15000 × tax% / 100
=> 540/15000 = tax% / 100
=> tax% = (540/15000) × 100
=> tax% = 540/140
=> tax% = 3.6
now,
sales tax on a 32000 units car = 32000 × tax%/100
= 32000 × 3.6/100
= 320 × 3.6
= 1152 units
therefore sales tax on a 32000 units car = 1152 units
(2000 - 150) / 67
27
(3000 - 400) /6
434
(20 - 7) / .75
17
