Step-by-step explanation:

ok. you said 2000 and 2500 so I'll just solve for both.

2000 divided by 55= 36.36-- so she will have to tune up 37 bicycles

2500 divided by 55= 45.45-- so she will have to tune 46 bicycles. this is because 46 bicycles, times the amount of money == just a little over 2500 so she has reached her goal

A digital camera for 249.99 at 4%sales tax

aliina [53]

1) Before tax = $249.99
100% = 1 = 249.99
4% = 0.04

4% = 0.04
1 + 0.04 = 1.04
104% = $249.99
$249.99 / 1.04 = $240.375 = $240.38 Before Tax
