X= sales tax %

Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)

Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %

The sales tax is 5%.

Hope this helps! :)

When 2/3 of a number is increased by 20, the sum is then halved, the result obtained is the same as 2/3 of the number, increased

aleksklad [387]

$\frac{2/3x+20}{2} =\frac{2}{3} x+3\\\frac{2/3x+20}{2} - 3 = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+20}{2} - \frac{6}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+20-6}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+14}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\2(\frac{2/3x+14}{2}) = 2(\frac{2}{3}x)\\2/3x+14=\frac{4}{3}x\\14=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}x\\14=\frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{14}{1}/\frac{2}{3}=x\\\frac{14}{1}*\frac{3}{2}=x\\7*3=x\\x=21$

The number is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at it this way, one can say that algebra does act as a tool to improve communication in the sense that, it is similar, in a way, to learning a new language. You don't rush into it, you start rather gently, little by little, step by step before you can say, you fully get it. We can then agree that this will improve one's communication prowess because the person would be learning something new with the help of some other people.

What percent of 80 is 12? what number is 75% of 52?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The answer for the first question is:

12/80 =

0.15 =

0.15 × 100/100 =

0.15 × 100% =

(0.15 × 100)% =

Then, the answer for the second question is:

75% × 52 =

(75 ÷ 100) × 52 =

(75 × 52) ÷ 100 =

3,900 ÷ 100 =
