The final price is the cost plus the tax.

Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as

T = C(1+r)

T = what Graham paid = $87.45

C = cost before tax

r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40

Plugging in what we know

87.45 = C (1+.4)

87.45 = C(1.4)

Divide both sides by 1.4

C = $62.46

If a spinner is divided into 2 sections is spun 5 times, how many outcomes are possible?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
The final number of outcomes would end up being 10 possible outcomes because you would do five and multiply it by two. And there would be a possibility of landing on any of ten outcomes. Hope I helped reassure you of your answer :)
