-5.5x+0.56= -1.64
-0.56 -0.56
-5.5x= -2.2
/5.5 /5.5
x= -0.4 is the answer
The sales tax can be found through multiplying the total by the decimal form of the given sales tax (7.5=0.075). This operation yields 40.5 or $40.50. I really hope this helps!:)
Switch sides
Abc=d
Now divide both sides by bc to get a .
A= d/bc
11.04 = 10(1.02)^n
1.104 = 1.02^n
ln 1.104 = ln 1.02^n
ln 1.104 = n ln 1.02
n = ln 1.104/ ln 1.02
n = 4.99630409516 (5 if rounded)
500 (the current collection) + 10 (the weekly addition) x 20 (weeks to add)
500 + 10*20 (Multiplication comes before addition)
500+200
