Answer:

  $48.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the marked price of the mower. Then the price with tax is ...

  with tax = p + 7.3%×p = 1.073p

The amount Flicka paid is the amount tendered less the change she received, so is ...

  3×$20 - 7.45 = with tax = 1.073p

To find p, we can divide by its coefficient:

  (3 × $20 - 7.45)/1.073 = p ≈ $48.97

The selling price before taxes was $48.97.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

If you check the answer, you find the amount with tax is ...

  $48.97 × 1.073 ≈ $52.54481 ≈ $52.54

so the change Flicka would have received would have been $7.46, not $7.45. If the price were $48.98, then the change would have been $7.44. There is no price at which the mower can be marked that will make the total with tax come to $52.55. There is no solution to this problem.

Answer:

$48.97

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid three $20 bills

3 × 20 = $60

She received $7.45 change

60 - 7.45 = $52.55

The mower was for $52.55 with sales tax.

The sales tax is 7.3%.

Before the sales tax (reduce tax).

52.55 × (1-7.3%)

= $48.97

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Mrs. Tyner drove about 150 km east from Pearland, to Houston, Texas. She  drove about another 75 km north to Dallas.

It is required to find the approximate air  distance from Pearland to Dallas, Texas.

The resultant vector will give the approximate air  distance. So,

d=\sqrt{150^2+75^2} \\\\d=167.7\ m

So, the approximate air  distance from Pearland to Dallas, Texas is 167.7 m.
