Answer:

<em>The washing machine cost $600 before tax</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages </u>

The washing machine cost $651 including a tax of 8.5%.

If x was the cost of the washing machine before tax, then the tax was:

x*8.5/100 = 0.085x

It was added to the original price:

x + 0.085x = 1.085x

That is the final price, thus

1.085x=$651

Solving:

x = $651/1.085

x = $600

The washing machine cost $600 before tax

spin [16.1K]

Answer: $1,780

Step-by-step explanation:

Joy Wigens deposited 1/3 of the check of $2,670 that she received in her Citibank account.

The amount she deposited in her Citibank account was:

= 1/3 * 2,670

= $890

The amount she is left with after this deposit will therefore be:

= Check amount - deposit at Citibank

= 2,670 - 890

= $1,780
