She bought 15 packages. You divide 86 by 6, but there is a remainder. pay no attention to it though, just add 1 to the answer.
The given statement is "nine times five less than twice x".
So, twice of x can be written as 2x and nine times five is 9*5.
Now 9*5 less 2x means we need to take out 9*5 from 2x.
Hence, this statement will be converted into an algebraic expression as follows:
2x-9*5
The taxes are figured as follows: 0.089(value of car)
Here the taxes are 0.089(value of car) = $1100.
Divide both sides of this equation by 0.089 to determine the value of the car.
value of car = $12359.55, or approx $12360.
