154.35 - 10.37 = 143.98
143.98 - 27.83 = 116.15
10.37 = 116.15x
x = 0.0893
Change x to percent form to get 8.93% tax rate.
By the knowledge and application of <em>algebraic</em> definitions and theorems, we find that the expression - 10 · x + 1 + 7 · x = 37 has a solution of x = 12. (Correct choice: C)
<h3>How to solve an algebraic equation</h3>
In this question we have an equation that can be solved by <em>algebraic</em> definitions and theorems, whose objective consists in clearing the variable x. Now we proceed to solve the equation for x:
- - 10 · x + 1 + 7 · x = 37 Given
- (- 10 · x + 7 · x) + 1 = 37 Associative property
- -3 · x + 1 = 37 Distributive property/Definition of subtraction
- - 3 · x = 36 Compatibility with addition/Definition of subtraction
- x = 12 Compatibility with multiplication/a/(-b) = -a/b/Definition of division/Result
By the knowledge and application of <em>algebraic</em> definitions and theorems, we find that the expression - 10 · x + 1 + 7 · x = 37 has a solution of x = 12. (Correct choice: C)

B=bellt price
j=jacket price
b+j=82.78
belt is 0.86 less than jacket
b=j-0.86
add 0.86 to both sides
b+0.86=j
sub
b+b+0.86=82.78
2b+0.86=82.78
minus 0.86 from both sides
2b=81.92
divid both sides by 2
b=40.96
belt=$40.96
