Answer:

$8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

let the price before tax be $x

given that the sales tax rate is 4%, hence the amount she paid in taxes

= 4% of x

= (4/100)x

= 0.04x

We can now build an equation for what she paid:

Amount Paid = price before tax + amount paid in taxes

8.84 = x + 0.04x

8.84 = 1.04x   (divide both sides by 1.04 and rearranging)

x = 8.84 / 1.04

x = $8.50

This question is really confusing me, it talks about unknown angle problems with Algebra.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given and marked angles add up to 90.

A = x

B = 3x + 10

A + B = 90          Substitute for A and B. A and B are just letters I gave things.

x + 3x + 10 = 90        Combine the left

4x + 10 = 90              Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x +10-10 = 90-10     Combine

4x = 80                      Divide by 4

4x/4=80/4

x = 20

Answer:

Hence total number freshman presented are 655.

The system is relative system as there is correlation between freshman and

sophomores<em>.</em><em>( as freshman are 60 more than the Sophomores)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1250 total students of sophomores and freshman.

To Find:

freshman count and its type of system used.

Solution:

We have that ,

consider x be the no.of freshman and y be the sophomores

So by given condition,

x+y=1250        ,..............................Equation(1)

And other one,

x=60+y

Use above value in equation (1) we get ,

60+y+y=1250

2y=1250-60

y=595

Now number of freshman ,

x+y=1250

x=1250-595

x=655

Hence total number freshman presented are 655.

The system represent the relative proportion system.The break even and total value should include all students in university .

Relative means in relationship with one another .

As there are 60 more number of freshman than the sophomores.
