Hope this helps you out!!!!!
Tax=tax rate times cost of product
tax=17.50
cost of product=250
17.50=rate times 250
divide both sides by 250
17.50/250=rate
0.07=rate
percent means parts out of 100
0.07/1 times 100/100=7/100=7%
7%=rate
answer is 7% tax
Let the original price of the sweater be = X
Then the amount Jerome pays for the sweater after 20% discount = X - (20X/100)
= X - 0.2X
= 0.8X
Now on this price the 8.25% tax needs to be added to get to the amount actually paid by Jerome.
So,
0.8X + [(8.25/100) * (0.8X) = 25.1
This is the equation from which the actual price of the sweater bought by Jerome can be determined.
So
0.8X + [(.0825) * ( 0.8X) = 25.1
0.8X + 0.066X = 25.1
0.866X = 25.1
X = 25.1/0.866
= 28.98
So the actual price of the sweater is $28.98.
Answer:
85° and 95°
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear pair of angles sum to 180° , then
3x + 10 + 4x - 5 = 180
7x + 5 = 180 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
7x = 175 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 25
Then
3x + 10 = 3(25) + 10 = 75 + 10 = 85°
4x - 5 = 4(25) - 5 = 100 - 5 = 95°
