-0.75-(-2/5)+0.4+(-3/4)

RSB [31]

-0.75-(-2/5)+0.4+(-3/4) = -0.7 simplified, how I got this answer can be found below in 16 steps.

1 - First thing we want to do is remove the parentheses.

-0.75 - (-2/5) + 0.4 - 3/4

2 - Then we simplify, multiply -1 by -1.

-0.75 + 1 (2/5) + 0.4 - 3/4

3 - Then multiply 2/5 by 1.

-0.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

4 - Then we want to write - 0.75/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, we do this by multiplying by 5/5.

-0.75/1 * 5/5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

5 - Then we write each expression with a common denominator of 5, we multiply each one by a factor of one.

-0.75 * 5/1*5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

6 - Then we multiply 5 by 1.

-0.75 * 5 / 5 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

7 - Then we combine the numerators over the common denominator.

-0.75*5+2/5+0.4-3/4

8 - We multiply -0.75 by 5.

-3.75 + 2/5 + 0.4 - 3/4

9 - Then we add -3.75 and 2.

-1.75/5+0.4-3/4

10 - And then we divide -1.75 by 5.

-0.35 + 0.4 - 3/4

11 - Then add -0.35 and 0.4.

0.05 - 3/4

12 - We then write 0.05/1 as a fraction with a common denominator, we do this via multiplying it by 4/4.

0.05/1 * 4/4 - 3/4

13 - Then we write each expression with a common denominator of 4, through multiplying each by a factor of 1.

0.05 * 4/4 - 3/4

14 - We combine the numerators over the common denominator.

0.05 * 4 - 3 / 4

15 - We simplify.

-2.8 / 4

16 - Then we divide -2.8 / 4

The final answer is -0.7

What is the sale tax for a purchase of $2,500 and what is the cost of an item with a sales tax of $108?

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To solve this, we must know how to find sales tax first. Let's use this equation:

t = p × r

Let t stand for the total amount of sales tax

Let c stand for the purchase

Let r stand for the sales tax rate.

Step 2:

Now, let us plug in what is given. We know that the purchase made cost $2,500:

t = $2,500 x r

Annddd, we also know that the sales tax is $108:

$108 = $2,500 x r

Therefore, our equation is:

$108 = $2,500 x r

Step 3:

We can simplify this to:

$108 = $2,500r

Step 4:

All we need to do is divide each side by 2500 because the goal is get r all by itself

$\frac{108}{2500} =\frac{2500r}{2500}$

Step 5:

This gives us:

r = 0.0432

Step 6:

We're not done! Since we are dealing with a percentage, we would multiply .0432 by 100% and that gives us our final answer of

4.32% is our sales tax

1. Order the numbers from least to greatest. 66 V21, 5.38 3

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

3, 5.38, 66, V21

Step-by-step explanation:

I assumed that V was the roman numeral V, which is equivalent to the number 5. I then multiplied 5 by 21 which is 105. If this is not the case and they simply wanted us to replace the v with a 5, then the answer would still be correct because 521 is greater than all the numbers in this set. Hope this helps.
