$1200 / 22.5% = 1200 / 0.225= 5333.33

Proof: How much is 22.5% of $5333.33? --> 5333.33 x 0.225 = 1200

The dollar value of the item is $5333.33.

Which is the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form? (-1, 2) and (1, -4)

Natalka [10]

1. Find the slope using the slope formula.
$\frac{2 - ( - 4)}{ - 1 - 1} = \frac{2 + 4}{ - 2} = - \frac{6}{2} = - \frac{3}{1} = - 3$
2. Plug that slope and either point into an equation in slope-intercept form and solve for b.
$2 = - 3( - 1) + b \\ 2 = 3 + b \\ - 1 = b$
3. Now write your answer as a slope-intercept form equation
$y = - 3x - 1$

Enrique and Yolanda collected 500 pieces of candy on Halloween. They gave half of their candy to charity. Yolanda took 180 piece

777dan777 [17]

The answer would be C. (He counted Yolanda's candy as his own).

This is found by multiplying 500 (starting number of candy) and .64 (percentage divided by a hundred). Thjs would guve you 320, which you would then subtract from the starting number of candy (500) to get 180. 180 is Yolanda's number of candy, which gives you the answer.

the sales tax for an item was $30.10 and it cost $430 before tax. find the sale tax rate. write your answer as a percentage.

timurjin [86]

To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10 The sale tax rate is 7%.
