<h3>Answer: 16/33</h3>

It's in p/q form where p = 16 and q = 33.

=======================================================

Work Shown:

x = 0.484848.....

100x = 48.4848.....

I multiplied both sides by 100 to move the decimal over 2 spots. Both decimal values for x and 100x have an infinite string of "48"s repeated after the decimal point. When we subtract, those infinite strings will cancel out

100x - x = 99x

48.4848..... - 0.484848..... = 48

So after subtracting straight down, we have the new equation 99x = 48 which solves to x = 48/99

Divide both parts by the GCF 3 to fully reduce

48/3 = 16

99/3 = 33

Therefore, x = 48/99 = 16/33 = 0.484848...

I recommend using a calculator to confirm that 16/33 = 0.484848...

Side note: your calculator may round the last digit, but this is of course rounding error

You went to Walmart and spend $75. Of the total bill, $45.50 included non-taxable items. How much is the final bill if you apply

Alina [70]

We have been given that you went to Walmart and spend $75. Of the total bill, $45.50 included non-taxable items.

Let us find the amount of taxable items by subtracting amount of non-taxable items from total bill.

$\text{Amount of taxable items}=\$75-\$45.50$

$\text{Amount of taxable items}=\$29.50$

We have been given that the rate of tax is 7.5% to the taxable items. To find the amount of tax, we will find 7.5% of $29.50.

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$25.50\times \frac{7.5}{100}$

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$25.50\times 0.075$

$\text{Amount of tax}=\$2.2125$

Final amount of bill would be amount of bill plus amount of tax.

$\text{Final amount of bill}=\$75+\$2.2125$

$\text{Final amount of bill}=\$77.2125$

Therefore, final amount of bill would be $\$77.2125$ .

What is the answer to <br>2x+3=4x+6-(2x+3)

Grace [21]

I am still learning, and am most likely incorrect.

I believe you remove the 3's since their not needed, and do this:

2x = 4x + 6 - (2x)

so then just ignore "x" and do this:

2 = 4 + 6 - 2

2 = 10 - 2

2 = 8

x = 8
