Even though we don't know the number yet, we need to give it some kind of label
so that we can work with it. We can call it anything. I'd like to call it ' G '.
The number we're looking for is ' G '.
Half of it is 1/2 G
The sum of that and 6 is 1/2 G + 6
Ten times that is 10 (1/2 G + 6)
The question says that's 8.
So 10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8
Divide each side by 10 : 1/2 G + 6 = 0.8
Subtract 6 from each side: 1/2 G = - 5.2
Multiply each side by 2 : G = - 10.4
That seems like a weird answer. We should check it.
The number: -10.4
Half the number: - 5.2
The sum of half the number and 6: -5.2 + 6 = +0.8
Ten times that sum: 8
Yep ! By golly, sho nuff, dV-dT and E to the X !
Everything checks out, and the mystery number is - 10.4

<u>Answer:</u>
Sale tax paid by Katrina is 0.44 units of currency and total amount paid is 5.94 unit of currency.
<u>
Solution:</u>
Given that Katrina goes to road runner after school and purchase following three products
A soda for 1.50
Chips for 3.50
Candy for 0.50
Also she pays 8% sales tax.
Need to determine amount paid in sales tax and total amount paid by Katrina.
lets first calculate amount she paid without taxes.
Total paid amount without taxes = 1.50 + 3.50 + 0.50 = 5.50
As she paid 8% sale tax , that is 8 % of 5.50
so sale tax paid =
<em>Total amount paid = Total amount paid without taxes + tax paid
</em>
= 5.50 + 0.44 = 5.94
Hence sale tax paid by Katrina is 0.44 units of currency and total amount paid is 5.94 unit of currency.
