Answer:

300 chapter books

Given that:

Total books = 500

Ratio given = 2:3

So they are divided into 5 parts

Each part contains = 500/5 books = 100 books

So The chapter books have 3 parts

Chapters books = 3 * 100 = 300 books

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be the constant of proportionality.  Then we use it as follows:

2k + 3k = 500, or 5k = 500, or k = 100.

Thus, the number of picture books is 2(100) = 200, and the number of chapter books is 3(100) = 300.

As checks:  200 + 300 = 500 (books), and

200

-------- = 2/3, as specified in the problem.

300

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Sales tax = $2.79

Step-by-step explanation:

(18 x 48.6) /100

= 8.748 = $8.75 tip amount total

48.60-8.748 = 39.852 sales total

(39.852 x 7)/100

= 2.78964 = $2.79 sales tax

39.852 - 2.78964 = 37.06236 = $37.06 cost of bill

Sales tax was asked = $2.79
