Answer:
There was an 11% increase.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find a percent increase is this: (original amount - new amount / original amount) * 100
If you fill in the formula, you get this:
(164,000 - 182,040 / 164,000) * 100
Solve:
(-18,040 / 164,000) * 100 ---> If the number being divided is negative, find the absolute value.
(18,040 / 164,000) * 100 =
0.11 * 100
11%
Answer:
The total of the sales price and sales tax is $ 588.35 .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
$543.51 be the subtotal .
8.25% is the sales tax .
8.25% is written in the decimal form.
= 0.0825
Sales tax price = 0.0825 × 543.51
= $ 44.84 (Approx)
Total of sales price with sales tax = Sale price + Sales tax price
Putting the values in the above
= $543.51 + $44.84
= $ 588.35
Therefore the total of the sales price and sales tax is $ 588.35 .
1.)18 = 2(4 + x) ||
2.) 18 = 8 + 2x --- Distribute. ||
3.) 10 = 2x --- Isolate the variable by collecting like terms ||
4.) 5 = x
I'd say A. is a good choice.
Exact form = 7/3
Decimal = 2.3
Mixed number Form = 2 1/3
13% of what is 78
"what" is the unknown, so use x for what.
"of" in math usually means a multiplication.
"is" means "="
13% * x = 78
0.13x = 78
x = 78/0.13
x = 600
Answer: the number is 600
