<span>Christa
went shopping for back to school clothes.
She paid a total of 176 dollars before the tax was added on.
Now, how much will she be paying if the sales tax is 6% what was the total
amount she paid.
Solutions:
=> 176 dollars * 6% to get the amount
=> 6% / 100% = 0.06
=> 176 dollars * .06 = 10.56
Now, let’s add to get the answer
=> 176 dollars + 10.56 dollars = 186.56 dollars</span>
Very interesting question!
Let's try to get something that would work for just 5 for now.
Any of these numbers would leave a remainder of 1 when divided by just 5:
6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51, 56, 61, 66, 71, 76, 81, 86, ...
Notice that they all look like 5*(something) + 1. Basically, they are all multiples of 5 plus 1.
Let's see what would work for just 8:
9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 65, 73, 81, 89, ...
Are there any matches... AHA! It's 81. This is the lowest positive integer greater than 1 that follows the rule for both 5 and 8.
£17.50 is 50% of what number
Now the same in math:
£17.50 = .50 x n pr £17.50 = .5n
Divide both sides by .5
n= £ 35
1/5k+ 15
= 1/5k+ 15* (5/5) (because 5/5= 1)
= 1/5k+ (15*5)/ 5
= 1/5k+ 75/5
= 1/5k+ 75* (1/5)
= 1/5(k+ 75) (distributive property)
The final answer is 1/5(k+ 75).
Expand the square: 4(x-11)^ =25
4(x-11)(x-11)=25
Distribute : 4(x-11)(x-11)=25
4(x(x-11)-11(x-11))=25
Distribute: 4(x(x-11)-11(x-11))=25
4(x^-11x-11(x-11))=25
Solution: x=17/2
x=27/2
hope that helps
