Answer: 4 dollars and 17 cents</h3><h3>This is the same as saying $4.17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
15+35.50 = 50.50 dollars is the total before tax is applied.
Take 8.25% of this to get
0.0825*50.50 = 4.16625
and this rounds to 4.17, which is the amount of sales tax charged.
$4.17 = 4 dollars + 17 cents
---------
Extra info:
The grand total will be 50.50+4.17 = 54.67
Another way to get the grand total is to multiply 1.0825 by the previous subtotal (50.50) getting 50.50*1.0825 = 54.66625 and that rounds to 54.67
The multiplier 1.0825 effectively means "increase by 8.25%"
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
7 (x-8)=2x-31
Distribute the 7 to the x and -8 (basically multiple 7 with the x and -8)
7x-56=2x -31
Drag the 2x over to the other subtracting it from 7x.
7x-2x-56=-31
5x-56=-31
Drag the 56 to the other side and add it to -31
5x= -31+56 (or 56-31)
5x= 25
Divide 5x from 25 to get your X
x=25/5
x=5
