First, there was $37.50.
Then, there was a tax of 8%.
Then, there was a tip of 18%.
Since the tip is after the tax, it's not going to affect it, and we can essentially ignore it.
The real question here is just <em>what is 8% of $37.50?</em>
To find the percent of something, first you need to put the percent as a decimal.
8% in decimal form is 0.08 (If you think about it literally, they're both 8 hundredths)
Finally, just multiply the percent in decimal form by the number.
37.50 dollars × 0.08 = 3 dollars.<em />
Answer:
0.2 - 0.3 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Well because I dont know much information about the weight and background of the pencils. My answer may not be correct. But the average weight would be around 0.2 - 0.3 lbs.
A equation to represent this situation is:

Now we have to find x.
Step 1: Subtract 0.5x from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>0.75x</span>+7.5</span>−<span>0.5x</span></span>=<span><span><span>0.5x</span>+10</span>−<span>0.5x</span></span></span><span><span><span>0.25x</span>+7.5</span>=10
</span>Step 2: Subtract 7.5 from both sides.
0.25x+7.5−7.5=10−7.50.25x=2.5
Step 3: Divide both sides by 0.25.
<span><span><span>0.25x/</span>0.25</span>=<span>2.5/<span>0.25
</span></span></span>Answer:
<span>x=<span>10</span></span>
