6 cats/kittens were adopted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cats/kittens at the event = 44

Number of cats/kittens adopted = x

Number of cats/kittens returned = Twice returned as adopted = 2x

New total = 50

We will subtract the adopted and add the returned cats/kittens.

Total cats/kittens at event - adopted + returned = New total

$44-x+2x=50\\44+x=50\\x=50-44\\x=6$

6 cats/kittens were adopted.

Jackson purchased a pack of game cards that was on sale for 22% off. The sales tax in his county is 6%. Let y represent the orig

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Final cost = 0.9328y

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume,

Original price = y

Given:

Discount = 22%

Sales tax = 6%

Computation:

Sales tax will be added on sale value

So,

Sales price = y[100%-22%]

Sales price = 0.88y

Price after sales tax :

Final cost = 0.88y[100% + 6%]

Final cost = 0.88y[106%]

Final cost = 0.9328y
