First you have to find out how much the sales tax is.

85.86(.08)=6.86

You have to subtract that number by 85.86

85.86-6.86=79

So the cost before tax on the shoes was 79$

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. For example, if a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69¢, the rate is 69¢ for 12 ounces. When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Korolek [52]
Yvonne ran up 12 flights of stairs.

Explanation:
Understand the situation:

Yvonne ran up 1/4 of the total stairs. Afterwards, she walked the REST of the stairs, which is said to be 9 STAIRS. HOW MANY flights of stairs IN TOTAL did she run up?

When she ran the REST of the stairs, it meant she ran the other 3/4 of stairs because:
1 - 1/4 = 3/4

To add someting, that means that the 9 stairs is 3/4 of the total stairs, so lets fins the total stairs using this information:
9 ÷ 3/4 = 12

LETS CHECK IF 9 IS REALLY 3/4 of 12:
12 x 3/4 = 9
