3.24 + 5.70 + 6.17 = 15.11
20.00 - 15.11 = 5.11
He got 5.11$ of change back.
Given:
assessment rate = 51%
tax rate = 53.26 per 1,000
53.26 / 1000 = 0.05326
0.05326 x 100% = 5.326%
Effective tax rate = assessment rate * tax rate
ETR = 51% * 5.326%
ETR = 2.72%
The answer you're looking for is 83.
With amounts measured in gallons, let
x = amount of 65% antifreeze
y = amount of 90% antifreeze
1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.
To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have
x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]
0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]
Solve the first equation for y :
y = 120 - x
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :
0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96
0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96
0.25x = 12
x = 48
Solve for y :
y = 120 - 48
y = 72
