Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to find what % of 34 is 37.40

so, we will use the following equation:

\frac{part}{whole} = \frac{percent}{100}

for this scenario:

part = 37.40

whole = 34

percent = x

now plug in:

\frac{37.40}{34} = \frac{x}{100}                         cross multiply

34x = (37.40)(100)

34x = 3740                      divide both sides by 34

x = 110%

now we know that with tax, we paid 110% of the video game's price

110 - 100 = 10%

so the percent sales tax is 10%

<u>just to check... </u>

34 • 1.10 = $37.40

or

34 • .10 = 3.40

34 + 3.40 = 37.40

makkiz [27]
3B + 4T = 11.33 9B + 5T = 23.56 Solve by elimination: Multiply the first equation by -3 to get -9B where the 3B is so that it will cancel with the 9B when the equations are added. -9B - 12T = -33.99 9B + 5T = 23.56 ------------------ -7T = -10.43 T = $1.49 Substitute in 3B + 4T = 11.33 3B + 4(1.49) = 11.33 3B + 5.96 = 11.33 3B = 5.37 B = $1.79 A taco costs $1.49 and a burrito costs $1.79. Therefore 5 burritos and 7 tacos will cost 5B + 7T = 5($1.79) + 7($1.49) = $19.38
