Connie has saved up $15 to purchase a new CD from the local store. The sales tax in her county is 5% of the sticker price. Write
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

x + 0.05x = 15, solution is $14.29

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation for this scenario to try and solve it.

Assuming the cost of the CD is x, it’s sale tax will be 0.05x (as that is 5% of x, 0.05.)

We can write the equation in two ways:

x + 0.05x = 15 or 1.05x = 15.

Assuming we take the second one (easier to work with), we can divide both sides by 1.05. The equation simplifies to x = 14.289... which rounds to x = 14.29.

Therefore, the equation is x + 0.05x = 15 and the solution is $14.29.

Hope this helped!

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: 11 party bags with 1 sticker leftover

Each bag contains 4 bubbles, 8 stickers, and 5 pencils.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Find the GCF of 44 (bubbles), 89 (stickers), and 55 (pencils)

44: 2 x 2 x <u>11</u>

89: prime so choose 88 with 1 leftover

88: 2 x 2 x 2 x <u>11</u>

55: 5 x <u>11</u>

GCF = 11

Disregard the GCF to see how many of that item should go in each bag.

Bubbles: 2 x 2

Stickers: 2 x 2 x 2
