STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
a = -15, b = -.5, c = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3a = -5 --> multiply each side with 3 --> a = -15
12 - b = 12.5 --> subtract 12 from both sides --> -b = .5 --> multiply each side with -1 to get b positive --> b = -.5
.1 = -10c --> multiply each side with -10 --> c = -1
X^2-11x+28=0
(x-7)(x-4)=0
x-7=0
x=7
x-4=0
x=4
