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%.

The average of Aaron's three test scores must be at least 93 to earn an A in the class. Aaron scored 89 on the first
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Aaron must obtain a 96 or higher to achieve the desired score to earn an A in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the average of Aaron's three test scores must be at least 93 to earn an A in the class, and Aaron scored 89 on the first test and 94 on the second test, to determine what scores can Aaron get on his third test to guarantee an A in the class, knowing that the highest possible score is 100, the following inequality must be written:

93 x 3 = 279

89 + 94 + S = 279

S = 279 - 89 - 94

S = 96

Thus, at a minimum, Aaron must obtain a 96 to achieve the desired score to earn an A in the class.
