Your answer would be x = 12.41
6.15 (x - 8.86) = 21.83
*6.15 * 6.15
6.15x - 54.49 = 21.83
+ 54.49 + 54.49
6.15x = 76.32
/6.15 /6.15
x = 12.41
0.20
Just think of it as you need some number multiplied by five to get 100.
I hope this helps. :)
The best thing to do is to find what 1% is, and you can do this by dividing 150 by 100.
150/100= 1.5
As you're looking for 6.5%, you've got to multiply 1.5 by 6.5
1.5*6.5= 9.75
You've then got to add 9.75 and 150 together
150+9.75= $159.75
Therefore, after the sales tax, the cost of the necklace is $159.75
Hope this helps :)
<span>150%
</span>Get 150 and multiply it by (34/100).
<span>In other words, do this: 150 x 0.34 (The 0.34 represents 34%. 0.76 would be 76%, etc) </span>
<span>This gives you: 51 </span>
