The sales tax = $48.50
Let x be the sales tax rate expressed as a percent.
So x% * 776 = 48.50
x/100 * 776 = 48.50
x * 776 = 4850 (multiply both sides by 100)
x = 4850/776
x= 6.25%
So the sales tax rate expressed as a percent is 6.25%.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

She had 22 friends at her graduation party.

Step-by-step explanation:

70 chocolates total minus 3 chocolates times the number of friends she had at the party = 4

70-3x=4

Subtract 70 from both sides of the equation

-3x=4-70

Simplify

-3x=-66

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

-3x/-3=-66/-3

Simplify

x=22

At Best Burgers, Jack collected sales data on the type of side order served with each type of burger purchased for a week. Jack
horsena [70]

The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

60 pounds of onion rings and 60 hamburgers.

Explanation:

Jack serves a half pound of onion rings with every burger.  He serves 120 bacon cheeseburgers.  To find the number of pounds of onion rings, we multiply 1/2 pound by 120 burgers:

1/2(120) = 1/2(120/1) = (1*120)/(2*1) = 120/2 = 60 pounds of onion rings.

There were 8 hamburgers served out of the first 40 orders.  If this rate continues, then to find the number of hamburgers out of 300 orders, we multiply 8/40 by 300:

8/40(300) = 8/40(300/1) = (8*300)/(40*1) = 2400/40 = 60

There would be 60 hamburgers.

USPshnik [31]
My answer is 82. I added up 90 + 80 + 75 = 245. I then divided that by 3 because there are 3 different cultures. And the number was 81. something. So, I rounded and got 82. But I'm not sure if that's the right answer.
