Make a proportion the sales tax is a percent of the total purchase and you just have to figure that out. 1,200/100=72/x solving this i get 6% sales tax using that. I find the rest by taking 6% of 2500 =150. And for part b make another proprtion x/100=108/6. And i get 1800 dollars
First let's define variables:
r: reading
s: skimming
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
r + s = 275
(15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
We solve the system of equations:
r = 206
s = 69
Note: see attached image for system solution.

Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = -t + 3;
h(-5)
Let t = -5
h(-5) = - -5 +3
= 5+3
= 8
The answer is 17/5. First you multiply 5*3=15 then you add 2 which your answer is 17/5.
