<h3>Answer: 80.58 dollars</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = amount of money collected before tax is added

3% = 3/100 = 0.03

3% of x = 0.03x = amount of tax

x + 0.03x = adding on tax to original amount

1.03x = amount after tax is added

1.03x = 2766.58

x = 2766.58/1.03

x = 2686 is the amount of money before the 3% sales tax is added

0.03x = 0.03*2686 = 80.58 is the amount of sales tax collected

As a check,

2686+80.58 = 2766.58

which confirms our answer

Answer:

Tax collected= $80.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the amount he got from services was "x", and to that he had to add a 3% of sales tax.

Recall that 3% in math form is written as: 3/100 = 0.03

then, he had to include 0.03 times x to the "x" amount in hotel services:

x + 0.03 x = 2766.58

1.03 x = 27688.58

x = 27688.58/1.03

x= $2686

Then, the amount for the taxes is 3% of this which is:

0.03 * 2686 = $80.58

Okay i need help finding y x 6 for y = 2/3 please help
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
First, you need to substitute y for 2/3:

2/3 • 6

Next, change 6 into a fraction and multiply straight across:

2/3 • 6/1
12/3

Finally, simplify it to its simplest form:

4
Your answer should be 4.
Hopefully that helped!

The length of the diogonals of a rectangular garden is 34m. If it's longer side measures 30m, find the perimeter of garden. ​
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

92 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the shorter side.

Let w = length of the shorter side.

w^{2}  + 30^{2}  =  34^{2} \\ w^{2}  + 900 = 1156\\w^{2}  =  256\\w = \sqrt{256} = 16

The perimeter is 2l + 2w = 2(30) + 2(16) = 60 + 32 = 92 m
