a computer in Texas cost $420 and the tax is $60 what is the tax rate ? can anyone explain how I get the answer

1 answer:

4 0

If I'm interpreting this question correctly, then you want to know the tax per dollar. In order to find that, you need to find the percentage of $420 that equals $60. So,

420x = 60
x = 60/420
x = 0.1429 (rounded)

So, the tax rate would be this value multiplied by 100%.

0.1429 x 100% = 14.29%

Answer:

Every group of 6 people has at least two uniform 3-person groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the 6-people by 6-vertices and draw a blue edge between 2-edges. If the two persons representing the vertices are friends. Otherwise, draw a red edge. This gives rise to a colored graph K6, edges arecolored with either blue or red.

There can exist at most 36 mips. so, multicolor triangles can exist at most 36/2 = 18 multicolor triangles.

If there are 20-triangle in graph. Therefore, every graph of 6-people has at least two uniform 3-person groups.
