Answer:
$1.53
Step-by-step explanation:
Sales Tax Rate = 8.25%
Book Sales Cost = $18.50
Book Sales Tax = 8.25% x $18.50
= 8.25/100 x $18.50
= 0.0825 x $18.50
Book Sales Tax = $1.53
Assume N students
Student 1 can get (n-1) papers
Student 2 can get (n-1) papers
Student 3 can get (n-1) papers
etc
Student N can get (n-1) papers
So for N students you can have N(n-1)
Expand
simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72
simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42
add 7.5x to both sides
simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72
subtract 72 from both sides
simplify 42 - 72 to -30
divide both sides by 3
simplify 30/3 to 10
Answer: x = -10
