In order to solve this problem, we need to figure out what percent 2,430 is of 56,000. We do this by dividing 2,430 by 56,000. This is equal to 0.04339. We multiply this by 100 to get a percent. This is equal to 4.339%, so the tax rate is 4.339%.
<h3>
It is equivalent to 2a+2b</h3>
We use the distributive property.
Multiply the outer term 2 by each term inside ('a' and b)
2 times a = 2a
2 times b = 2b
We add those results to get 2a+2b. We cannot combine these terms as they are not like terms.
