X=number looked for
we have this equation:
-52(x-14)=x+3
we solve this equation:
-52x+728=x+3
-52x-x=3-728
-53x=-725
x=-725/-53=725/53 ≈13,68
Solution: 725/53
To check:
the difference between 725/53 and 14=725/53 - 14=(725-742)/53=-17/53
-52 times the diference is= -52(-17/53)=884/53
The number plus 3=725/53 + 3=(725+159)/53=884/53
The answer is A) four units up
Answer:
Sales tax (6.5% of Subtotal) would be
The total amount comes out to
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to add the sales tax percentage to the gratuity percentage. In this example, that would equal 24.5%.

Then, multiply the result by the amount of the bill to find what the sales tax and gratuity add to the bill. However, we do not have the bill amount given, so we must figure that out. In order to do this,
