<span>If the base rate of Taxation percentage is only 8%, and the item in question that is being taxed costs $30, then the answer of how much the tax will cost ends up being 8% of 30. 8% of 30 is 2.4 so 8% of $30 is $2.40. So the cost of the $30 item, including tax, is $32.40.</span>
Answer:
To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.
Once you have simplified the expression, you get
-x-9/2x-4
But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write
x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4
So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.
In order to change a fraction into a decimal you must divide the numerator by the decimal so divide 1 by 8 and so as you go through the equation you get a decimal number because 8 cannot go into 1 of course.
Answer: 0.125 is the amount you ate in decimal form
