the sales tax for an item was $30.10 and it cost $430 before tax. find the sale tax rate. write your answer as a percentage.

1 answer:

4 0

To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10 The sale tax rate is 7%.

Find solution to the system of linear equations. 5x1 + x2 = 0 , 25x1 + 5x2 = 0

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the system of equation has infinite solution

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x_1 + x_2 = 0$ , $25x_1 + 5x_2 = 0$

Solve the first equation for x_2

Subtract 5x1 on both sides

$5x_1 + x_2 = 0$

$x_2 =-5x_1$

Now substitute -5x1 on second equation

$25x_1 + 5x_2 = 0$

$25x_1 + 5(-5x_1)= 0$

$25x_1-25x_1= 0$

0=0

So the system of equation has infinite solution

$Solution, \frac{-4r}{4}+\frac{5r}{3}=\frac{2r}{3}$

$Steps:$

$\frac{-4r}{4}+\frac{5r}{3}$

$\frac{-4r}{4},\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b},\\-\frac{4r}{4},\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{4}{4}=1,\\-r,\\-r+\frac{5r}{3}$

$\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:r=\frac{r3}{3},\\\frac{5r}{3}-\frac{r\cdot \:3}{3}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c},\\\frac{5r-r\cdot \:3}{3}$

$5r-r\cdot \:3,\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:5r-3r=2r,\\\frac{2r}{3}$

$The\:Correct\:Answer\:Is\:\frac{2r}{3}$

$Hope\:This\:Helps!!!$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

OMG! Don't do that! I am so sorry this is happening to you. Look I don't know how to comfort you. IF he keeps doing this tell your mom or litterally call 911. If he did it just on that day then try confronting him on it. And ask him why he did that! Don't self-harm you deserve so much more than that! You are awesome!
