Answer: Charles bought a used car and later sold it for a 20% profit. If he sold it for $4680, how much did Charles pay for the car?
---------------------------
Let the price he paid equal "x".
EQUATION:
x + 0.20x = 4680
1.2x = 4680
x = $3900 (price he paid for the car.
Answer:
x = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
For PQ and RS to be parallel then
∠ACQ = ∠RDB ( Alternate exterior angles ), thus
3x - 65 = 2x - 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
x - 65 = - 10 ( add 65 to both sides )
x = 55
Answer:
x= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
19x-5=7+15x
19x-15x=7+5
4x=12
x=12/4
x=3
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The sales tax is 8%
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>We are given that:</u>
The price of the rocket is $24 and the sales tax is $1.92
To get the percentage of the sales tax, all we have to do is divide the sales tax by the price of the rocket and then multiply the quotient by 100 (to convert the ratio to percentage)
<u>This is done as follows:</u>
% of sales tax = 
% of sales tax =
%
