Answer:

$52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount charged for shipping and handling = 4.5%

Let cost of order = x

Total amount charged = 54.34

However,

total. Amount charged = (total cost + handling and shipping)

54.34 = x + 0.045x

54.34 = 1.045x

Order total before shipping = 54.34 / 1.045

Order total before shipping = 52

As you were organizing your closet you counted 20 shirts and 12 pairs of pants what was the pants to shirt ratio?
NISA [10]

Answer: 5 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of shirts to pants can be shown by putting the number if shirts and pants in the following manner:

Number of shirts       :        Number of pants

20                               :                   12

Then you have to take this to the lowest term. 4 is a factor of both numbers so when divided by 4 we get:

= 5 : 3

This is the ratio.

Solve for x. −18 = −2/3 x
vredina [299]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the -18.

Through cross-multiplication, -18/1 x -3/2 simplifies into -9/1 x -3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into -18 -9 times).

-9 x -3 = 27; therefore, x = 27
