Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer we can use proportion. We know that 4$ its 100% and 4.32 its 100% + taxes.

4$ ---------- 100%

4.32 -------- x

cross multiply now

4x=4.32*100%

4x=432%     /:4

x=108%

We know that 4.32 its 100% + taxes=108% so to get taxes we have to subtract 108-100.

108%-100%=8% - its the answer.

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

$4 represents the sale price

4.32 - 4 =$ .32 represents the sale tax

Tax rate is the percentage $ .32 out of $4.

 4 is 100%

.32 is x%

Cross multiply to find x, and divide by 4

x= (.32·100) / 4

x = 8

The tax rate is 8%.

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation y = 3x+5
Daniel [21]

Answer:

All you have to do is insert the first value where the x is, and the second value where the y is.

y = 3x + 5

11 = 3(2) + 5

11 = 6 + 5

11 = 11

So, this is right.

Now, let's check (3,13)

y = 3x + 5

13 = 3(3) + 5

13 = 9 + 5

13 = 14

This is NOT true. So, your answer is: Only (2,11)

Hope this helps!
