Hey!
-------------------------------------------------
Solution:
The ratio is FEMALES to MALES.
So its 18/16, 18:16, or 18 to 16.
~Now we need to simplify.
18:16 → 18/2:16/2 → 9:8
*Note* When you have a ratio you need to know which comes first. If you put males to females that incorrect. It has to be correct according to the question.

You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C
Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)
Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9
Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9
Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95
Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79
Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58 -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H

We first find value of tax in dollars.
The difference between the two prices is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54
Therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54
The tax % will be (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100
(1.54 / 22) × 100 → (0.07) × 100 = 7
So the tax rate is 7%
We can double check the answer.
7 % of 22 → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54
22 + 1.54 = 23.54
Answer is 160
explanation: add all of them up and divid by how many numbers are in the data set
74+81+77+88=320
then divid 320 by 4 =160
Answer:
-13/9 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
8/9 = x + 1/3(7)
~Simplify right side
8/9 = x + 7/3
~Subtract 7/3 to both sides
-13/9 = x
Best of Luck!
