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: 54.4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the distance to the train station. If it took Carlos 4 hours to come back driving at 68 mph, the distance is:
= Speed * time
= 68 * 4
= 272 miles
This means that Carlos drove for 5 hours to cover 272 miles the first time. His average speed was therefore:
= Distance / time
= 272/5
= 54.4 mph
