Answer should be 22= 11x2 11= 11x1, something like that :)
Answer:
8$ in tax will be paid
Step-by-step explanation:
5% sales tax means 0.05 cents on the dollar will be taxed so take 0.05 times 160 you get 8$ in tax
His total sales were "x"
now, we know that 3.5% of "x" plus 5% of "x", will add up to his total commission, including sales of 6500 or less or more
so the commission for 6500 or less, is 3.5% of "x" or (3.5/100)*x -> 0.035x
the commission for above 6500 is 5% or (5/100) * x --> 0.05x
we know, that both commissions added together, are $415
thus
0.035x + 0.05x = 415 <----- solve for "x"
All we have to do is divide the distance of the old sidewalk by 3.14:
65 / 3.14 ≈ 20.7006
That means that, rounded to the nearest meter, the new sidewalk is:
21 meters long!
