He needs 160 5-star reviews in a role. We can write a function to solve this problem. His current total stars is 4.4*160=704. Suppose he needs x more 5-star reviews, then his total stars will be 704+5x. 160+x is the new number of reviews, and the new average will be 4.7, so 4.7*(160+x)=704+5x. The solution is 160. Besides, if you want to get the answer really fast, you can see that 4.7 is right in the middle of 4.4 and 5, so you can immediately guess that the number of new 5-star reviews should be equal to the number of current reviews.
You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427
When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.
To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7
So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%
The final answer would be 39/19 it doesn't simplify any more and if it did the 19 would be reduced as well as the 39
20 should be the answer because 205 divided by 10 =20
There might be a variety of averages for the 12 boys.
