Answer:
23/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the common denominator of the 2 fractions (It's 20):
3/4 + 2/5
Multiply both numerator and denominator by 5 for the first fraction and multiply by 4 for the second fraction:
15/20 + 8/20
Add the fractions together:
23/20
Answer:
Rita paid 47,500 dollars for the purchase price.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car which means there is is something k such that
when you multiply it to the sales tax you get the purchase price.
Let's set this equation:
y=kx
Let y represent the purchase price and x the sales tax.
The second sentence tells us that (x,y)=(1500,30000).
We can plug this into y=kx to find the constant k. (Constant means it stays the same no matter what the input and output is).
So we have:
30000=k(1500)
300 =k(15) I went ahead and divided previous equation by 100.
Now divide both sides by 15:
300/15=k
Simplify:
20=k
So the equation to use the answer the question is
y=20x
where y is purchase price and x is sales tax.
So we want to know the purchase price on a car if the sales tax is 2375.
So replace x with 2375:
y=20(2375)
y=47500
6% of 930 is 55.8
139.50 / 55.8 = 2.5
I will take two and a half years
1/3 because reciprocal is the opposite
