Answer:

$ 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Caleb paid in sales tax = $1.60

Rate of sales tax = 2.5%

Question asked:

What was the price of Caleb’s groceries, before tax = ?

Solution :

Let  price of Caleb’s groceries, before before tax =

2.5% of price of groceries = $1.60

\frac{2.5}{100} \times x = 1.60\\

Multiplying both side by 100

2.5x = 1.60 \times 100\\2.5x = 160

Dividing both side by 2.5

x = \frac{160}{2.5}

x = 64

Therefore, the price of Caleb’s groceries, before tax = $ 64

I need help on this plz

Answer:

(2) angle1 = 139, angle2 = 41, angle4 = 41, angle5 = 139, angle6 = 41, angle7 = 139, angle8 = 41

(3) angle1 = 150, angle2 = 30, angle4 = 30, angle5 = 150, angle6 = 30, angle7 = 150, angle8 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

All angle are either equal to each other or supplementary.  I use corresponding angles and vertical angles to prove each of the above.

For number 3, angle 3 and angle 8 are supplementary, so they add up to 180:

8x +70 + (4x - 10) = 180

12x + 60 = 180

12x = 120

x = 10

So if x = 10, then 8x + 70 = 8(10) + 70 = 150

That means all angles are either 150 or 30 for number 3.
