Your original answer is correct.If you set up a ratio table, it works. For example: So, they amount of money she's taxed on is $55. We get this by doing 175-20.
$55 is equal to 106% because 6% is tax Now, you want to find just 100% which is the same as no tax. To get from 106 to 11, you divide by 1.06. So, you also divide 55 by 1.06 to get $51.89 She can't go over this because she won't have enough money.
For #2 the answer is F because the first thing that you do is subtract 175 by 120 and get 55. Then divide 55 by the percent 6%. When you divide a percentage you change it to a decimal by moving it two times to the left. 6%. = 0.06 so 55 divided by 0.06 equals 3.3, also known as answer F 3.30.
This is the<u> distributive property of multiplication</u> but tricky the distributiver property says a(b+c)=ab+ac 7=5+2 6(5+2)=(6 times 5)+(6 times 2)
