Answer:
$18.48
Step-by-step explanation:
To find a percentage you just multiply the amount x the percentage in decimal form.
17 x 0.087 = 1.479 tax
Then you add that number too the original total.
17+1.479 = 18.479
Then you round to the nearest cent.
18.48
Total:
$18.48
Answer:
The cost to rent each chair and each table are $1.5 and $8.75 respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent 1 chair
Let y represent 1 table
Therefore
3x + 2y = 22 ------------(1)
5x + 6y = 60 ------------(2)
Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3
15x + 10y = 110 ----------(3)
15x + 18y = 180 ------------(4)
Subtract (3) from (4)
8y = 70
Divide through by 8
y = $8.75
Substitute y = 8.75 in (1)
3x + 2y = 22
3x + 2(8.75) = 22
3x + 17.5 = 22
Collect like terms
3x = 22 - 17.5
3x = 4.5
Divide through by 3
x =$1.5
As we know these two lines mean | | a modulus sign. The modulus symbol is sometimes used in conjunction with inequalities. A modulus sign in simple words just ignores the sign and gives us the absolute value.
For example in this case the modulus gives us 4 x 2 - 3. As you can see the modulus sign has ignored the original negative signs with the numbers.
So after evaluating the equation the answer comes out to be 8 - 3 which is equal to 5.
