Answer:
$223.21
Step-by-step explanation:
Last year the amount of taxes was x, an unknown amount. That was 100% of last year's tax cost.
This year, taxes went up by 12%, so this year the taxes are 112% of what they were last year. This year the taxes were 112% of x, and they were $250.
112% of x = 250
1.12x = 250
x = 250/1.12
x = 223.21
Answer: $223.21
Answer: she paid $1.71 in sales tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find 9 percent of 19 to find the sale tax.
9% of 19 =
0.09 * 19 = 1.71
This means she paid $1.71 in sales tax.
Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.
<span>If they join to work together they can complete the job in 3 hours. </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x - 8) = 1/3 </span>
<span>3(x - 8) + 3x = x(x - 8) </span>
<span>x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0 </span>
<span>(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0 </span>
<span>Solutions: </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span>x = 12 </span>
<span>Jimmy can complete the job on his own in 12 hours.</span>
y-y1 = m (x-x1) y+3 = (1/4)(x+4) [using point (x1,y1)] or y–1 = (1/4)(x–12) [using point (x2,y2] [let's use this one since you did] To put this into Standard Form (Ax+By=C), y–1 = (1/4)(x–12) 4y - 4 = x - 12 -x + 4y - 4 = -12 [subtract x from both sides] -x + 4y = -8 [add 4 to both sides] x - 4y = 8 [multiply by (-1) to have x-coefficient positive
