Answer:
<em>Colin spends 1/8 of an hour practicing each song</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Colin's piano lesson is 3/4 of an hour, long.
In that period, he practices 6 different songs, spending an equal amount of time on each one.
This means that each song gets the sixth part of the lesson duration. The fraction that expresses that amount is:
Colin spends 1/8 of an hour practicing each song
First you need to find how much 20% of $18.50 is. To do this, you need to multiply 18.50 by 20% which in decimal form is 0.2
$18.50x0.2=$3.70
Now you need to subtract $3.70 from $18.50
$18.50-$3.70=$14.80
Now that you have the new price, you need to find 6.75% of it to get the sales tax, so you multiply $14.80 by 6.75%, which is 0.0675 as a decimal.
$14.80x0.0675=$0.999 or $1
Now you add the sales tax to $14.80
$14.80+$1=$15.80 or $14.80+$0.999=$15.799
29.75/8.5=x/4.5
using the "butterfly method"
8.5x=133.875
/8.5 /8.5
x=15.75
You have to make a proportion
