Answer:
Mr. Nelson paid $48 befor tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the price of the item before tax.
108 % * x - x = 3.84 (the tax itself)
27/25x - x = 3.84
2/25 x = 3.84
x = 48
Answer:
x = -5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
8/(x+3)=1/(x+1)
Using cross products
8*(x+1) = 1*(x+3)
Distribute
8x+8 = x+3
Subtract x from each side
8x-x +8 = x+3-x
7x +8 =3
Subtract 8 from each side
7x+8-8 = 3-8
7x = -5
Divide by 7
7x/7 = -5/7
x = -5/7

Sarah can have the plumber work on her faucet for six (6) hours maximum
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi

is the maximum amount of hours that Sarah can have the plumber work on her faucet.
1st find out how much the tip was:
88.50 - 75.00 = 13.50
Now find the percentage 13.5 is of 75
13.5/75 x 100 = 18% (C)
