Answer:
50,000
Step-by-step explanation:
1st car had $1,750 tax
2nd car has $3,500 tax
1750(2) = 3500
so your tax doubled so the price must be doubled.
The car is $50,000
Algebraically using direct variation:
t = kp where t=tax, p = purchase price,
and k is constant of variation
1750 = 25000k
k = 1750/25000
k = 0.07
Your equation is: t = 0.07p
3500 = 0.07p
p = 3500/0.07
p = $50,000

Answer:
8%
Step-by-step explanation:
6/75 = 0.08 which is 8%.
In this case u need to divide 10 1/2 by 14 coz theres 14 ones in 14 so 10 1/2 divided by 14 = 0.75<em>so theres 0.75 sugar in one ounce of drink ;)</em>
Two equivalent fractions would be 8/10 and 12/15<span />
