Answer:
The sales tax rate is 8%.
C. The sale price is 20% less than the regular price
Step-by-step explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A) The sales tax rate is 6%
B) The sales tax rate is 8%.
C. The sale price is 20% less than the regular price
Sales tax rate = (tax paid / discounted selling price) x 100
tax paid = amount customer paid - discounted selling price
$73.44 - $68 = $5.44
($5.44 / $68) x 100 = 8%
The sales tax is 8%
Sales price = (discount / initial price) x 100
discount = $85 - $68 = $17
($17 / 85) x 100 = 20%
What does the question say
First CM : You will get 12x = 160 + 8x
Subtract 8x : By subtracting 8x on both sides you will get 4x = 160
Solve : By dividing 4 you know the answer is 40!
X = 40
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
In this parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal
PN = LM
5x+7 = 9x-25
Subtract 5x from each side
5x-5x+7 = 9x-5x -25
7 = 4x-25
Add 25 to each side
7+25 = 4x-25+25
32 = 4x
Divide each side by 4
32/4 = 4x/4
8 =x
