Final Price: 17,510.40 dollars
You multiple the tax by the original to get the amount of tax. Then you add it to your original to get total price.
A: no solution!
first, simplify each side of the equation.
3x + 5 - 10x simplifies to -7x + 5.
8 - 7x - 12 simplifies to -7x - 4.
then, add +7x on both sides of the equation to get the variable alone. if you add 7x to each side, you get left with 0.
so, that leaves 5 = -4 which is not true. so, that means there is no solution.
Answer:
Since this is a proportional relationship,
We know that the number which are proportional are a multiple of each other
the number which we can multiply one of the numbers to get the other number is the constant of proportionality
we could check for proportionality by using the following formula:
p1 / s1 = p2/s2 = p3/s3 = p4/s4 if they were equal, we can say that the relation is proportional
The value of any of the above values, p1/s1 , p2/s2 , p3/s3 , p4/s4 is the constant of proportionality
Therefore, the constant of proportionality = 20 / 5 = 4
