so to find 15% of 54,237, we use this equation: (x/54237) = (15/100) where x is the amount of income tax.
cross multiply: 100x = 813555
divide each side by 100 to isolate x: 8135.55
the truck driver will pay $8135.55
X + 4x = 75
Combine like terms:
5x = 75
Divide by 5 on each side of the equal sign:
x = 15
Answer:
t = 6.3
Step-by-step explanation:
N=Noe^(-kt)
No = 14 grams
k = .1092
We want to find t when N = 7 or 1/2 of 14
N=Noe^(-kt)
7 = 14 e ^ (-.1092t)
Divide each side by 14
1/2 = e ^ (-.1092t)
take the natural log of each side
ln (1/2) = ln e ^ (-.1092t)
ln (1/2) = -.1092t
Divide each side by -.1092
ln (1/2)/ -.1092 = t
t≈6.3475
Rounding to the nearest tenth
t = 6.3
