Answer:

$429.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the tax rate on the sale of the boat:  Let r represent that rate.  Then,

$12,500r = $562.50.  Solving for r, we get r = $562.50 / $12,500 = 0.045

The tax rate is 0.045, or 4.5%.

Applying this tax rate to a boat selling for $9,550:

0.045($9,550) = $429.75.  This is the amount of tax on the 2nd boat.

What is the answer to 7/12 plus 1/3
viva [34]

Answer: 11/12

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that 7/12 and 1/3 are unlike fractions. Our first step when adding unlike fractions is to get a common denominator.

The common denominator of 12 and 3 will be the least common multiple of 12 and 3 which is 12.

The fraction 7/12 already has a 12 in the denominator so we leave it alone.

To get a 12 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4 and we get the equivalent fraction 4/12.

Now we are adding like fractions.

To add like fractions, we simply add across the numerators.

7/12 + 4/12 = 11/12

Therefore, 7/12 + 1/3 = 11/12.
