The equation that can be used to determine the tax rate, x is ;44.31 = 42 + (x% of 42) where x = 5.5%
<h3>How to write equation</h3>
- Cost of a shirt = $12.50
- Cost of each shorts = $14.75
- Cost of two shorts = 2 × $14.75
= $29.5
- Total cost = $12.50 + $29.5
= $42
- Total amount paid = $44.31
Total = total cost + x% of total cost
44.31 = 42 + (x% of 42)
44.31 = 42 + 42x/100
44.31 - 42 = 42x/100
2.31 = 42x / 100
x = 2.31 ÷ 42/100
= 2.31 × 100 /42
= 231/42
= 5.5%

On simplifying the expression 13.8+ (-11.5) , we get 2.3 . And additions
13.8 + (-11.5) and (-13.8) + 11.5 are numbers will same value and opposite sign.
<h3>What are rules for adding a positive and a negative number?</h3>
For adding a negative and a positive number, use the sign of the larger number and subtract.
For example: (–8) + 2 = -6
Given that we have to solve 13.8 + (-11.5) = 13.8-11.5 (we subtract smaller no from larger and will use the sign of lager number that is + here)
13.8+(-11.5) = 13.8-11.5 =2.3
13.8+(-11.5) simply means that 13.8 -11.5 which is subtraction of 11.5 from 13.8
but (-13.8) + 11.5 = -13.8 +11.5 = -( 13.8 -11.5) [taking -1 common from the expression]
Therefore , -13.8 + 11.5 has same value as 13.8- 11.5 but opposite in sign.
