Answer:
C. x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
48 = 7x + 13
-13 -13
35 = 7x
5 = x
Since sale is 40% so the price is 60%
61*(60%) = 36.6
the tax is 5%
so the price after tax is: 36.6 * (1 +5%) = $38.43
Answer:
They live 285 miles apart
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance be x miles
Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour he travels 1/5 of the total distance. This means that he drove x/5 in the first hour. In the second hour he travels 34 miles. That means
Total distance driven in the first and second hour is
(x/5 + 34)miles
He still has 194 miles more to go.
Therefore,
The total distance is the sum of the distance travelled in the first and second hour + the remaining distance.
x = x/5 + 34 + 194
x = x/5 + 228
Cross multiplying
5x = x + 1140
4x = 1140
x = 1140/4 = 285 miles
