To find a percentage of a number, multiply by the decimal form of that percentage(20%=0.20). So, take the cost, $430, and multiply by common state sales tax (7% for me)---430 x 0.07 = 30.10 The sale tax rate is 7%.

13x ➙ 10413
x ➙ 801
There are 801 box seats.
<u>Find for regular seats:</u>

This question is a little tricky. Carla had a bill of $15, which we will add to the cost of Rob's lunch. They left a 20% tip on the TOTAL cost of both their lunches, which should equal $6. 20% is equivalent to 0.2. So, the equation is 6=0.2(x+15). In other words, 20% of the sum of Carla and Rob's lunches is 6 dollars.
Answer: 6=0.2(x+15)
In this case 'g' would be 5 - 7f
