What is the amount of sales tax owed on a $35 jacket if the tax rate is 6%

1 answer:

5 0

Sales tax is an additional amount of money that you pay for having purchased something. The way this is calculated is by having your 6% converted into a fraction. A percent is 1/100, so 6 percent is 6/100. You multiply the 6/100 times the price of the product that your buying; in this case, it is a jacket. The number you get is then added to the initial cost of the jacket because you need to pay for the jacket and the sales tax.

5x-7=2x+8 solve for x

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 5x + -7 = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -7 + 5x + -2x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x -7 + 3x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -7 + 3x = 8 + 0 -7 + 3x = 8 Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 3x = 8 + 7 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 3x = 15 Divide each side by '3'. x = 5 Simplifying x = 5
