Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of singing act be x

Let the number of comedy act be y

If the total act is 14, then;

x+y = 14..... 1

If singing acts are 4.5 minutes long and comedy acts are 3.5 minutes long and the acts lasts 59 minutes, then:

4.5x + 3.5y = 59 .......... 2

Solve both equation simultaneously for x and y

x+y = 14

45x+35y = 590

.................................

x+y = 14......... *9

9x+7y = 118....... 1

...............................

9x+9y = 126

9x+7y = 118

Subtract both equations

9y-7y = 126-118

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into equation 1;

From 1: x+y = 14

x+4 = 14

x = 14-4

x =10

Hence there are 10 singing acts and 4 comedy acts in the show

Dave bought a new game for $28. The tax rate was 7% How much was the tax and total price (if you can please add work I’m severel
LekaFEV [45]
Okay, let's find out how much the tax was by finding out what 7% of $28 is, we do this by multiplying:

\sf 28\cdot 7\%

Convert 7% into a decimal, we do this by dividing it by 100 because percentages are parts of 100:

\sf 28\cdot 0.07

Multiply:

\sf 1.96

So this is the tax. Add it to the original price to get the total price:

\sf 28+1.96=\boxed{\sf \$ 29.96}
