Answer:

The sirt cost $7.5 before tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pair of slacks cost twice as much as the shirt, we have:

slacks = 2*shirt

And the total purchase was $22.5, so we have:

slacks + shirt = 22.5

We can create a system of equations such as:

slacks = 2*shirt

slacks + shirt = 22.5

If we apply the first formula on the second we can solve for the value of the shirt, we have:

2*shirt + shirt = 22.5

3*shirt = 22.5

shirt = 22.5/3 = 7.5

So the slacks cost:

slacks = 2*7.5 = 15

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRANILIEST
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

87% full

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To find the solution:</u>

  1. Use the equation p·x=y where x = 13,920 and y = 16,000
  2. Since you are trying to find the percent, divide both sides of the equation by 13,920. p · 13,920(÷13,920) = 16,000(÷13,920)
  3. The step above cancels out the 13,920 leaving you with the answer. p=0.87
  4. 0.87 = 87%
