Answer:
Elena could tell without finishing by simplifying both sides. The next step would have been 30x +24x = 30x+24. This would have been simplified down to x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply
2/3=x/15
3x=30
Divide by 3 on both sides
x=10
So, 2/3= 10/15
Hope this helps! :)
Sam would have paid 55 dollars. Since the sales tax is 10%, you would find 10% of 50, which is 5. Then add five to the 50 dollar wagon price to find the total cost of 55 dollars.
Problem 1 is asking "the other cost."
It is described in the problem statement as "a cost for every one-tenth of a mile traveled." It is described in the table header as "Mileage Cost in Dollars."
The only value in the "Mileage Cost in Dollars" column is 1, which corresponds to a distance of 1/10 mile. So, it appears the numerical value of "the other cost" is $1 for each tenth-mile traveled.
___
The problem statement does not make clear whether the desired answer is the description of the other cost, or its numerical value.
.11x+.08(180000-x)=17400
.11x+14400-.08x=17400
.03x=3000
x=$100,000 at 11%
$80,000 at 8%
