Answer:
Multiply the decimal for the percent of tax by the purchase price, then add the amount of tax to the price to find the total price.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sales tax is an amount added to a price to get the total.
We multiply by the decimal for the percent; this means we divide the percent by 100 before we multiply.
Once we multiply, this gives us the amount of sales tax. We add this to the price of the item to get the total purchase price.
Let x represent the worth of the professional basketball player's autograph a year ago. Since his autograph's worth increased by 40% now, $364 is 1.40x.
364 = 1.40x
Solving for x gives x = 260.
Thus, the autograph of the basketball player was worth only $260 last year.
Answer:
Adult tickets sold: 156
Step-by-step explanation:
Adult ticket: x
Student ticket: y
x + y = 260 ===> -6(x + y = 260) ===> -6x -6y = -1560
6x + 4.5y = 1404 ===> 6x + 4.5y = 1404
________________
add the two equations to eliminate a variable: -1.5y = -156
divide by -1.5: y = 104
substitution to find x:
x + y = 260
x + 104 = 260
x = 156
