4+X/X=X
4+X=X*X
when the answer fits the equation, the answer is correct

0.3% is the answer because the decimal is over one meaning the percent is over 100
Let us assume the total amount of meal charge paid by Michael without tax = x
Then
Amount paid to the waiter by Michael = 15x/100
Sales tax paid by Michael = 5x/100
Now we get the equation as
x + (5x/100) + (15x/100) = 18
(100x + 5x + 15x)/100 = 18
120x/100 = 18
120x = 1800
x = 1800/120
= 180/12
= 15 dollars
So the amount paid by Michael for the meal before tax and tip is $15. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
Answer:
a variable
Step-by-step explanation:
a variable.
Let the price of flowers in September be x, then (100 + 20)/100 * x = $1.50
120/100 * x = $1.50
1.2x = $1.50
x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25
The price of flowers in September is $1.25
Total money realised in September = $1.25 x 900 = $1,125
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,125 = $450
Total money realised in October = $1.50 x 700 = $1,050
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,050 = $420
The class earned more money in September and they earned $30 more than in October.
