STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: 42
For this situation we will use a ratio to show how many free throws Erin will make. Using the ratio 7:10 represents that Erin will make 7 out of every 10 free throws. You want to know how many free throws she will make if she attempts 60 free throws.
Using ratios we will be able to find how many free throws she will make if she attempts 60.
7:10
14:20
21:30
28:40
35:50
42:60
Basically we kept multiply the right side of the ratio which is 10 by 2 until we were at 60 free throws.
Erin will make 42 free throws if she attempts 60 free throws.
Answer:
SEE THE IMAGE ABOVE FOR ANSWER.
1. 12a+6=12a+6
2. 12a+6=12a+2
3. 12a+6=4a+6
4. 12a+6=7a+5
The next four terms in the sequence are a + 6, a + 10, a + 14, a + 18. This is because you are adding 4 to what is being done to “a” each time. If you look at the pattern, you’ll see that 4 is being added and the “a” stays the same.
