Answer:  The answer is (C) 7%.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Santino bought a book for $23.54 and the original price of the book was $22. We are to find the sales-tax rate of the book.

The sales tax on the book will be

S=\$23.54-\$22=\$1.54.

Therefore, the sales tax rate will be

r=\dfrac{1.54}{22}\times 100\%=\dfrac{154}{22}\%=7\%.

Thus, the correct option is (C).

Mr.Brown has 110 fiction books and 90 non-fiction books on his shelf. what percent of her library is non fiction?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of fiction books = 110

Number of non fiction books = 90

Total number of books = 110 + 90 = 200

% of non fiction books

= number of non fiction books divided by the total number of books multiplied by 100%

That’s

90/200 x 100%

0.45 x 100%

45%

45% of her library is nonfiction

Tobin rows 2 miles per hour faster than her opponent. If it takes Tobin 30 minutes to finish a race, and it takes her opponent 4
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as 
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour
