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%.

Lucia has 10 dimes and nickels worth a total of $0.60. Use the graph to find the number of dimes and nickels that Lucia has.
Reil [10]
The system has one solution, so it is consistent independent. The graphs intersect at the point (2, 8), which can be checked algebraically. Complete a table of values for each line.

The point (2, 8) is the solution to the system of equations. Since (2, 8) is the solution to the system of equations, Lucia has 2 dimes and 8 nickels. 

hope it helps :) feel free to ask anymore questions

If the measure of 0 is A radians and B degrees, then A=180B/pie
yKpoI14uk [10]
Yup that is correct, that is the way to convert measurements of angle from radians to degrees. because 2pi is equivalent to one revolution of a circle and in degrees is equal to 360 degrees, then simplifying it 360 / 2pi = 180 / pi.
so <span>the measure of 0 is A radians and B degrees, then A = 180 B/pi</span>
