X= sales tax %
Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)
Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %
The sales tax is 5%.
Hope this helps! :)
First, we know that y is equal to -8x, so we can move the -8x to replace y in the first equation, then in the first equation we get -8x=6x-14, subtract 6x on both sides, -14x=-14, x=1
"The digit at tens place is four times the digit at units place."
How many possible numbers are there?
1 in the units place: 41
2 in the units place: 82
If you try 3 in the units place, 4 * 3 = 12, you'd get 123, and now it's a three-digit number, so the only possibilities are 41 and 82.
41 or 82
If you subtract 54 from 41, you get a negative number, so 41 cannot be the number.
82 - 54 = 28, which has the digits of 82 in reverse order.
Answer: 82
