The equation that can be used to determine the tax rate, x is ;44.31 = 42 + (x% of 42) where x = 5.5%
<h3>How to write equation</h3>
- Cost of a shirt = $12.50
- Cost of each shorts = $14.75
- Cost of two shorts = 2 × $14.75
= $29.5
- Total cost = $12.50 + $29.5
= $42
- Total amount paid = $44.31
Total = total cost + x% of total cost
44.31 = 42 + (x% of 42)
44.31 = 42 + 42x/100
44.31 - 42 = 42x/100
2.31 = 42x / 100
x = 2.31 ÷ 42/100
= 2.31 × 100 /42
= 231/42
= 5.5%

Kala call lasted for 0.36 minutes
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that Kala purchased a prepaid phone card for $15
Long distance calls cost $12 a minute using this card.
If the remaining credit on her card is $10.68
To find: Number of minutes her call lasted
Let "x" be the number of minutes her call lasted
Cost of 1 minute = $ 12
Total balance = $15
Remaining balance = $ 10.68
So we can frame a equation as:
Total balance = Remaining balance + Cost of 1 minute x number of minutes her call lasted
So her call lasted for 0.36 minutes
F(x)=(-1)^2+3
f(x)=1+3
f(x)=4
The slope is 0 because 4 is a constant.
