The product of 5 and 2/3 is 5.6666
It only the last one.
Hope this helps :)
You have to formulate equations for this problem.
Let S = Science score
M = Math score
C =
Chemistry score
To illustrate the given:
0.9S = 0.75M
0.9S = 0.8C
You are given that Karen’s Math score is 96 marks. You have
to substitute the Math score to the first equation.
0.9S = 0.75(96)
0.9S = 72
S = 80
Therefore, Karen’s Science score is 80. Now, you have to
substitute the Science score to the second equation.
0.9(80) = 0.8C
0.8C = 72
C = 90
So, Karen’s Chemistry score is 90.
Therefore, the total score of the 3 subjects is 266 (96 + 80
+ 90).
You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427
When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.
To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7
So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%
