Sales Tax rate: 6.75%
Total price of item including tax: $14.93Original price of item: ?
Let x be the original price
x+0.0675x = 14.93  -- we change the percent to decimal

1.0675x = 14.93  -- simplify 
1.0675x/ 1.0675 = 14.93/1.0675  --isolate x
x = 14.93/1.0675  --divide
x = 13.98595  
Then rounded to two decimal points, the answer would be $13.99.

torisob [31]

Answer:4+1=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason the answer is 4+1 is because you have to subtract x from 4x causing it to be just 4 and then y I have to subtract 2 from 3 leaving one then you would have to add 4+1 which equals 5

How much water should be added to 1 gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is 40% antifreeze
nexus9112 [7]

Let the necessary amount of water be x.  Then (1.00)(1 gallon antifreeze) = 0.40(x+1 gallon), or 1 = .40x + .40.  Combining like terms:  0.60 = 0.40x.

Then x = 0.60 / 0.40 = 1.5.

Adding 1.5 gallons of water to that 1 gallon of pure antifreeze results in 2.5 gallons of 40% antifreeze.
