Youre finding 9.75% of 519 you know its going to be near 50 dollars
your answer is 50.695125
or 50.70$ tax
519.95+50.7 = 570.65$ total
B. looks like the way to go.
You can solve <span>9/x-4/y=8 for x or for y but NOT at the same time.
Solving for x: </span><span>9/x-4/y=8 Mult all 3 terms by xy to eliminate the fractions.
9(xy)/x - 4xy/y = 8xy => 9y - 4x = 8xy, or 9y = 4x + 8xy = 4x(1+2y)
then 9y = x [ 4(1+2y) ]
9y
therefore x = ------------
4(1+2y)
Solve for y using a similar approach.

<span>To explain how these values are related, take the second value (625) and multiply it by 1/100, or in decimal form, 0.01. This is the equivalent of moving the decimal point two spaces to the left, which will give a result of 6.25. (625 * 0.01 = 6.25). This shows that the two values are 100 times different than each other.</span>
