The answer is 4 3/8 boxes because 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 ＝ 4 3/8.
13: multiply the amount by the tax rate (to make a percent a decimal move the decimal point 2 places to the left) and add the original amount and the taxed amount together. For 12 do above but then multiply the total by the tip rate and add together (basically the same as the tax again) :) I hope this helps
No, actually the method is not correct. Adiya needed to take x2 and subtract it from 20x. she would then get 6 = 18x. Have in mind also that she needed to divide 18. So 6 = 18x turns into 6=X. That is why is incorrect
