Think about it this way, that for every 5/6 pound bag you are losing 1/6 and 1/6*12=2 therefore the answer is 12
Given:
The formula for total cost is

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.
To find:
The the tax rate.
Solution:
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,
Total cost (T) = $14.77
Price of item (p) = $14
Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get



Multiply both sides by 100.

Divide both sides by 14.


Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33
Discussion:
2 tens = 2 * 10 = 20
13 ones = 13 * 1 13
=> 2 tens + 13 ones = 20 + 13 = 33
Thank you,

Answer:
x = 1/3 ln(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
e^(3x)+6=8
Subtract 6 from each side
e^(3x)+6-6=8-6
e^(3x) = 2
Take the natural log of each side
ln (e ^3x) = ln (2)
3x = ln(2)
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 1/3 ln(2)
x = 1/3 ln(2)
