If you are buying something that cost $15 and sale tax is 6%, you can calculate final bill trough proportions:
$15:100%=$x:106%
100x=106*15, x=(106*15)/100, x=$15.9 is final bill.
You can also use easier way: $15+0.06*$15=$15.9
Explanation for 2nd way: Cost is $15, on that you need to add 6% of $15: (6%/100%)*$15 and that is 0.06*15.
140
10% is equal to 0.1
0.1 * 140 = 14
So the answer should be 140 as 10 percent of 140 is 14.
Answer:
60.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
...
against the wind, an airplane travels 3640 km in 7 hours.
with the wind, the same plane travels 6000 km in 6hrs.
...
let speed of plane in still air be x mph
speed of wind be y mph.
..
t=d/r
..
against wind speed = x-y mph
with wond speed = x=y mph
...
3640/(x-y)=7
3640 = 7x-7y
/7
520=x-y.....................1
...
6000/x+y = 6
6000 = 6x+6y
/6
1000=x+y.....................2
...
Add (1) & (2)
2x=1520
/2
x=760 mph speed of plane in still air
...
plug value of x in 2
1000=760+y
100-760=y
240 = y
240 mph speed of wind
