Answer:
11x will be the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Sylvanite only contains 28% gold by mass, then to obtain 81.0 grams of gold, x amounts of sylvanite must be mined. To determine x, we divide 81 grams by 28%. This equation is shown below:
0.28X = 81
X = 81/0.28
X = 289.29 grams
Therefore, 289.29 grams of sylvanite must be dug up to obtain 81 grams of gold.

If the discount is 15 percent, he still pays (100-15) or 85%
125.99 * 85%
125.99 * .85 = 107.09 is the price he pays for the rod
107.09 * .03 =3.21 is the sales tax
107.09+3.21=110.30 is the price of the rod with the discount and the tax
