First you need to find how much 20% of $18.50 is. To do this, you need to multiply 18.50 by 20% which in decimal form is 0.2
$18.50x0.2=$3.70
Now you need to subtract $3.70 from $18.50
$18.50-$3.70=$14.80
Now that you have the new price, you need to find 6.75% of it to get the sales tax, so you multiply $14.80 by 6.75%, which is 0.0675 as a decimal.
$14.80x0.0675=$0.999 or $1
Now you add the sales tax to $14.80
$14.80+$1=$15.80 or $14.80+$0.999=$15.799
<span>5x+10 = y
Subtract 10 from both sides.
5x = y - 10
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 1/5y - 2
Plugin 1/5y - 2 for the y.
5(1/5y - 2)
1 - 10 + 10 = y
1 = y
