Answer:
$222.73


Explanation:
The multiplier would be 1.1 as (100% plus 10% as a decimal) and $245 is 110% and we want 100%. So 245 divided by 110 is 2.227 which would be 1%. But we want 100% so 2.227 x 100 is $222.73 (1 decimal place).

Answer:  $222.73

===========================================

Work Shown:

x = pre-GST price

10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount

x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245

1.10x = 245

x = 245/1.10

x = 222.7272 approximately

x = 222.73 is the price before tax.

------------

Check:

10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27

The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get

22.27+222.73 = 245

which matches the post-GST price mentioned.

The answer is confirmed.

Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this

1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245

Labor rate = $7.50 per hour Labor time = 6.5 hours Retail price of parts = $0 Total job cost = $82.00 Overhead rate?
Ulleksa [173]
Total cost job=
Retail price of parts+labor cost+manufacturing overhead

Total cost job 82

Retail price of parts 0

Labor cost=7.5×6.5=48.75

Manufacturing overhead ?

82=0+48.75+?

?=82−48.75

?=33.25

Manufacturing overhead is 33.25

Now find manufacturing overhead rate from the cost of labor
33.25÷48.75=0.682×100=68.2%

The answer 68.2%

Irina-Kira [14]

The thing with nasa is that when they use money to build and land things such as space rovers or space shuttles, the money that is used is put back into the economy instead of just floating in space. So the idea that its a waste could easily be debunked by the fact that the money that is used is still in the economy, whether or not you believe the exploration of space is needed could also be a solid point for your paper. Hope that I could help, Good luck with your paper
