Answer:
598 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of books in the 3rd pile. We will have then:
1st pile: 2x + 10
2nd pile: 2x
3rd pile: x
3000 = (2x + 10) + (2x) + (x)
3000 = 5x + 10
3000 - 10 = 5x
2990 = 5x
2990/5 = x
x = 598 books in the third pile!
We can check that:
3000 = 2*598 + 10 + 2*598 + 598
3000 = 1196 + 10 + 1196 + 598
3000 = 3000 CHECK!

Answer:
$5.83 in taxes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Discounted price of pants: 23.50 × (1 - 0.3) = 16.45
Discounted price of shirts: 16.25 × (1 - 0.25) = 12.1875
Discounted price of hats: 9.75 × (1 - 0.15) = 8.2875
2 pants, 3 shirts, and 1 hat: 16.45(2) + 12.1875(3) + 8.2875(1) = 77.75
Sales tax: 77.75 × 0.075 = 5.83125
Rounded to nearest cent: $5.83 in sales tax
