Answer:
A) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to get this but this is how I did it:
1. Multiply the second equation by 1/4 to get the same fraction for y as the one in the first equation
1/4 x + 1/8 y = 2
1/4 (1/3 x + 1/2 y = 4)
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
2. Subtract the first equation from the new equation
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
<u> - 1/4 x - 1/8 y = -2</u>
-1/6 x= -1
3. Divide both sides by -1/6
<u>-1/6</u> x= <u>-1</u>
-1/6 -1/6
x = 6
4. Substitute 4 in for x in the original equation:
1/4 (6) + 1/8y = 2
6/4 + 1/8y = 2
1/8y = 1/2
y = 4
Answer:
The tax rate is 4.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to assume $2.79 is 100%. We know that x% equals 0.12 of the output value. Now we have two simple equations: 100%=2.79 and x%=0.12.
Then, 100%/x%=2.27/0.12 and that gives us 4.3%!
Hope this helps.
