You have to make it into a subtraction problem. 82-58=24
Given : Brandon buys a radio for $45.99 .sales tax rate is 7%.sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services.
Let the price of Radio before the sales tax be $x. Sales tax on $x is 7% x.
Price before sales tax + Amount of sales tax= Cost of Radio.
x+7%x =45.99
Or x+0.07x=45.99
1.07x=45.99
Dividing both sides by 1.07.
x= 41.11
Cost of Radio before tax = $41.11
Sales tax paid = 43.99-41.11= 2.88
Tax paid = $2.90 (To nearest cent)
Y = x² + 7x - 4
y = -x - 4
x² + 7x - 4 = -x - 4
+ x + x
x² + 8x - 4 = -4
+ 4 + 4
x² + 8x = 0
x(x) + x(8) = 0
x(x + 8) = 0
x = 0 or x + 8 = 0
- 8 - 8
x = -8
y = -x - 4
y = -0 - 4
y = 0 - 4
y = -4
(x, y) = (0, -4)
or
y = -x - 4
y = -(-8) - 4
y = 8 - 4
y = 4
(x, y) = (-8, 4)
The solutions are (0, -4) and (8, -4).
Your answer is E. $25.
First let under 12 = u, over 12 = o, and adults = a.
We can now write the equations:
2u + 3a + 3o = 174
4u + 2a = 122
a + o = 46
Because we know that a + o = 46, and 3a + 3o is in the first equation, we can multiply 46 by 3 to get what 3a + 3o equals. This makes 138.
Now we can substitute 138 into the first equation to get 2u + 138 = 174
2u = 36
u = 18
Now that we know what u equals, we can substitute it in to the second equation to get:
4(18) + 2a = 122
72 + 2a = 122
2a = 50
a = $25
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
