Answer:

$223.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year the amount of taxes was x, an unknown amount. That was 100% of last year's tax cost.

This year, taxes went up by 12%, so this year the taxes are 112% of what they were last year. This year the taxes were 112% of x, and they were $250.

112% of x = 250

1.12x = 250

x = 250/1.12

x = 223.21

Answer: $223.21

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim drank 2 and 4/5 orange juice

2and 4/5=14/5 orange juice

jack drank  1and 1/10 less than Jim= 11/10 less than Jim

I introduce the whole numbers into the fractions

we will convert the number 14/5 into a fraction that has the denominator 10, by multiplying by 2 both numerator and denominator

(14/5 )*2=28/10

Now we can find out how much juine Jack drank

28/10- 11/10= 17/10

so Jack drank 17/10 orange juice , the fraction can be written also as

1 and 7/10
