This should be right. hopefully you understand
So first we need to find the total before tax. Let's add up the two prices:

So we know that the total before tax is $381. Now we are told that the sales tax on these items is 6.5%. It would be easier for us to convert 6.5% to a decimal in order to multiply. Let's convert 6.5% to a decimal by dividing by 100:

Now that we have the sales tax in decimal form, let's multiply this sales tax by the total amount of the items before tax ($381):

This means that $24.77 is the tax for this purchase. To find the total amount that Jon paid for these items after tax, you must add the tax to the total amount before tax to give you:

So now we know that
Jon's total bill for these items is $405.77.
X=-6
you could either multiply 9 on both sides or distribute the 9 and isolate the variable
Answer:
36 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
The boards are as long as the room, so I only had to worry about the width. If the boards were 1/2 ft wide, I would need 2 boards for every foot of width. For 16 ft, I would need 32 boards.
Instead of dividing, I wrote the equivalent multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of 11/24 (the reciprocal of 11/24 is 24/11)
I simplified by dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, and both 11 and 33 by 11.
Therefore he needs 36 boards
Answer:
Maggie is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS tells us the order of operations and the steps of solving a mathematical statement. It states that exponents must be performed before multiplication or division.
P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
M - Multiplication
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtraction
Therefore, to solve 12÷3² correctly, 3² needs to be simplified to 9 <em>before</em> dividing.
I hope this helps!
