Is this a question? Or what is the question if you first said it?
$30 + $35 = $65
Assuming tax is on whole sale not each item:
$65 * 0.06 (6%) = $3.90 (6% of $65)
$65 + $3.90 = $68.90 ($65 + 6%)
OR
You could combine both of these steps and just use this working:
$65 * 1.06 (106%) = $68.90 (106% of $65)
Answer:
x = -36
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
x/16 - (x + 2)/8 = 2
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- <u>Multiply both sides by 16:</u> x - 2(x + 2) = 32
- <u>Distribute -2:</u> x - 2x - 4 = 32
- <u>Combine like terms:</u> -x - 4 = 32
- <u>Add 4 to both sides:</u> -x = 36
- <u>Divide both sides by -1:</u> x = -36
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-36/16 - (-36 + 2)/8 = 2
-9/4 - -34/8 = 2
-9/4 + 17/4 = 2
8/4 = 2
2 = 2
For number 17 changed the 13 3/8 into a decimal to help you. 3/4 would be .75 and 13 3/8 would be 13.375
13.374 +.75 = 14 1/8 which would be 14. 125
14.125 + .75= 14 7/8 which would be 14. 875
