Answer:

1.07 (15 + x) = 42.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

CD= $15

Let the cost of the video game be x

The total cost= 15+x

Hence the equivalent expression is

1.07 (15 + x) = 42.80

open bracket

16.05+1.07x= 42.80

42.80-16.05= 1.07x

26.75=1.07x

x= 26.75/1.07

x= 25

Check

7% tax for CD

=0.07*15

=1.05

total =1.05+15

=$16.05

7% tax for Video game

=0.07* 25

=1.75

total =1.75+25

=$26.75

In all

=26.75+16.05

=$42.8

The ratio of SAMs age to hank is 5 to 3. If the sum of their age is 24. How old is is hank?
Serggg [28]
Lets consider SAM's age is 'x'  and Hank's age is 'y'
So as per given data Sam's age is 5/3 times of Hank's age
so x = 5/3 * y
3x = 5y --> equation 1
 and also sum of their ages is 24
so, x + y = 24
we need to find Hank's age (y)
so x = 24 - y
Now replace x value in equation 1
3(24-y) = 5y
72-3y = 5y
72 = 3y+5y
8y= 72
y= 72/8
y = 9 years.

So the Hank's age is 9 years

i am begging for help. all of my points for the first to answer. The volume of a sphere is 3/4 x pi cm^3. what is the radios of
horsena [70]

volume of a sphere = 4/3 *pi * r^3

3/4 * pi = 4/3 *pi * r^3

divide each side by pi

3/4 = 4/3 * r^3

multiply each side by 3/4

3/4 * 3/4 = r^3

9/16 = r^3

take the cube root of each side

r = (9/16) ^ (1/3)
