Answer:
He paid $6,000 in taxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
His final amount after taxes is $24000. In order to obtain this number we had to tax 20% of the total (Note that 100%-20%=80%). In other words if he was taxed 20% he took home 80% of what he was paid. Therefore mathematically we have:

Since we know he was left with $24000 after taxes then:

So originally he had $30,000. So how much did he pay in taxes? We can calculate the difference of both pretax and after tax and we get:
$30,000 - $24,000= $6,000 taxed
Answer: x = - 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 2 - 5x - 7 = 4x + 2
=> -8x - 5 = 4x + 2
=> -12x = 7
=> x = - 7/12

<u>2. What is P(M), the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?</u>
- P(M) = number of students who plan to major in mathematics / number of students
9514 1404 393
Answer:
51
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the number of seats in a row. Then the number of rows is (s-9) and the total number of seats is ...
s(s-9) = 2142
s² -9s +4.5² = 2142 +4.5² . . . . . complete the square
(s -4.5) = √2162.25 . . . . . . . . take the positive square root
s = 4.5 +46.5 = 51 . . . . . . . add 4.5
The number of seats in each row is 51.
