42 is the LCD of all the above fractions.
X = cost of car before tax
Total cost = (cost of car before tax) + (tax amount)
Total cost = x + 5% of x
Total cost = x + 0.05x
Total cost = 1.05x
The total cost is given to be $14,512, which means
<span>Total cost = 1.05x = 14512
</span>
1.05x = 14512
1.05x/1.05 = 14512/1.05
x = 13,820.95238
x = 13,820.95
The total cost of the car before tax, to the nearest cent, is $13,820.95
<em>Your answer would be 5, just the number in general.</em>

Answer:
x = 10; WX = 5; HJ = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks indicate that points W and X are midpoints of their respective segments. That makes WX a midline of the triangle. The midline is always half the length of the base (HJ). We can use this fact to write an equation relating the lengths.
HJ = 2·WX
x = 2(x -5) . . . .substitute the given expressions
x = 2x -10 . . . . eliminate parentheses
10 = x . . . . . . . add 10-x to both sides
This value of x tells you that ...
HJ = x = 10
WX = x -5 = 5
0.45 (weight of each cupcake) *100 (number of cupcakes) = 45
The box of 100 cupcakes will weight 45 pounds. :)
