Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x

Ben has $100 to go shopping. Does he have enough money to buy a $20 and a $72 pair of shoes if there is an 8.5% tax
Juli2301 [7.4K]

So, we first add the 20 and 72 together and you will get 92.

What I like to do next is usually 92/100x8.5. The tax would be then 7.82

92 + 7.82 = 99.82 < 100

The answer is yes.
