Answer:
:)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 9/4, y = 7/6
║<span>2x + 3y = 8
</span>║<span>4x - 6y = 2
</span>║4x + 6y = 16
║4x - 6y = 2
Add both equations together:
8x = 18
x = 9/4
Sub x = 9/4 into 2x + 3y = 8
2(9/4) + 3y = 8
9/2 + 3y = 8
3y = 7/2
y = 7/6
18? because 45 divide by 5 is 9, and 5 cookies minus 3 is 2, so multiply 9 by 2 for 18
Hey there James!
So, just remember, 2/5 is almost half of 1.
When it is almost half of 1, this means that it would have to be 2.5/5
This would mean that 4/10 would be your answer, because it is almost half of 1 also.
Hope this helps.
Multiply the price of the meal by the sales tax. Tips are added in after tax has been applied, so it would not be added in to calculate the tax.
Tax= Meal Cost * Tax %
=$80 * 7%
convert % to decimal (7% ÷ 100)
=80 * 0.07
=$5.60 sales tax paid
ANSWER: $5.60 was the sales tax the customer paid.
