It depends on the percentage rate of said tax... is the tax rate 5%? 20%?
So we're looking at two rectangles, one cut out of the other, so all you do is find the area of the big one, base times height equals area, minus the area of the small one, base times height equals area. So the equation you have to solve for is this,
Area=(12.6X14)-(3X8.4)
First you need to get the unit rate by dividing 715 by 13, getting 55 miles per hour. You then will need to divide 495 by 55 to get the answer of 9
Answer:
Monica = 48.50
Samuel = 24.25
Kara = 17.25
Step-by-step explanation:
First you write equations as you are reading the text:
m = 2s ("Monica earned twice as much as Samuel")
s = k+7 ("Samual earned 7 more than Kara")
m = 48.50
Next, you convert these equations to solve for s and k respectively.
So, if m=2s, then s=m/2:
s = m/2 = 24.25
Likewise, if s=k+7, then k=s-7
k = s-7 = 17.25
The difference between greatest and least is 48.50 - 17.25 = 31.25
