Mick would pay $4.06 in sales tax for an item that costs $58.00.
This can be found by working backwards in the problem. By dividing that sales tax paid (2.94) by the dollars before tax (42), you get a percentage that should equal the percentage of the total paid for tax.
2.94 ÷ 42 = 0.07
This means that the sales tax is 7% of the total prior to tax. So we'd then multiply our dollars (58) with the sales tax in decimal form (0.07)
58.00 × 0.07 = 4.06
Hope I could help!
The sum of length and width is half the perimeter, so is (70 in)/2 = 35 in. Since this is the sum of length and width, if we add 5 inches, it will be twice the length. That is ...
... length + width = 35 in
... length + (width + 5 in) = (35 in) + (5 in)
... 2×length = (35 in) + (5 in) = 40 in
The length of the rectangle is 20 inches.
Plug in each value for c.
m = 180 - 3(-3) = 189
m = 180 - 3(0) = 180
m = 180 - 3(3) = 171
Range {171, 180, 189}
