<em>The washing machine cost $600 before tax</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages
</u>
The washing machine cost $651 including a tax of 8.5%.
If x was the cost of the washing machine before tax, then the tax was:
x*8.5/100 = 0.085x
It was added to the original price:
x + 0.085x = 1.085x
That is the final price, thus
1.085x=$651
Solving:
x = $651/1.085
x = $600
The washing machine cost $600 before tax
Let the integers be x - 1, x and x + 1, then
x - 1 + x + x + 1 = -42
3x = -42
x = -42/3 = -14
The three consectutive integers are -15, -14 and -13
217.5/87=2.5. I put it into a calculator and this is what I got.

Answer:
You know that negative 3 1/2 is the lowest number so you would put that first. The greatest number would be the coldest in Celsius, and 1/20 would be the last question (the sea level) if calculations are correct, you would get full credit.
