Amount of tax on the book (s) is $0.72
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given 6/100 = s/12
- Step 2: Cross multiply to solve for s
⇒ 6 × 12 = 100 × s
⇒ 72 = 100s
⇒ s = 72/100 = 0.72
A40=a1 +(40-1)r
in this case r is 3 beceause -2+3 will be 1 etc
a40=-2 +39*3
Answer:
Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Find the complete question in the comment section.
Given the equation -4/9 = x/108, in order to determine Jada's error, we need to solve in our own way as shown:
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by -9/4 as shown:
-4/9 × -9/4 = x/108 × -9/4
-36/-36 = -9x/432
1 = -9x/432
1 = -x/48
Cross multiplying
48 = -x
x = -48
It can also be solved like this:
Given -4/9 = x/108
Multiply both sides by 108 to have:
-4/9 * 108 = x/108 * 108
-4/9 * 108 = 108x/108
-432/9 = x
x = -48
Jada should have simply follow the second calculation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 108 as shown.
