Good question next quetionn
X= sales tax %
Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)
Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %
The sales tax is 5%.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Regular hourly rate for Brandon is $30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the payment for regular hours be $x
given that
Brandon is paid 150% of his regular hourly rate for overtime hours
payment for overtime hours = 150% of payment for regular hours
payment for overtime hours = 150/100 * x = 3x/2
Given that He is paid \$45.00 an hour for overtime hours
thus,
3x/2 = 45
=> x = 45*2/3 = 30
Thus, regular hourly rate for Brandon is $30
Variables can be used to represent unknown numbers in a equation or expression that you will later find out what they are
If x +23 = 9, then, x = 9-23.
So x = -14
