Answer:

130 calories in the ice cream and 500 calories in the pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of calories in the scoop of ice cream be x. the amount of calories in the piece of pie be 3x-20. we know that x+3x-20=500.

4x-20=500

If we add twenty to both sides, we end up with:

4x=520

Divide both sides by four, and you get x=130.

there are 130 calories in the scoop of ice cream and 130*4-20=500 calories in the pie.

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%.

saveliy_v [14]
First divide both sides by - 5,

x - 4 = 6

Move the constant to the right side of the equation and change its sign (-4 => +4)

x = 6 + 4

Add the numbers,

x = 10

How would you Evaluate. 5⋅4 ^0
solniwko [45]
It is understood that 5.4^0 is the  number 5.4 raised to the power zero.

There is a rule for this: any number raised to the power zero is 1.

So, 5.4 ^ 0 = 1.

You can show that any number raised to the power of zero is 1 using this:

A^0 = (A)^(m - m) = [A^m] / [A^m]

Given that the numerator and the numerator of that fraction are equals the result is 1.
