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%.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The number of seashells he have in his collection all together is 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Stanley has a collection of seashells. He found 35% of his collection on Florida beaches.

Stanley has 49 seashells from Florida.

Now, to find the number of seashells of his collection altogether.

Let the number of seashells all together be x.

Percentage of seashells found on Florida beaches = 35%.

Number of seashells found on Florida beaches = 49.

Now, to get the number of seashells altogether we put an equation:

35\%\ of\ x=49.

⇒ \frac{35}{100} \times x=49

⇒ 0.35\times x=49

⇒ 0.35x=49

Dividing both sides by 0.35 we get:

⇒ x=140.

Therefore, the number of seashells he have in his collection all together is 140.

FIND BD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Viktor [21]

BD = 2x-4

But it's also BE - CE + CD

BE is 3x-1

CE is 2x-3

CD is 2

so

BD = 3x-1 -(2x-3) +2

simplified

BD = 1x +4

since BD = BD (obviously), we can also say that the righthand sides of the two equation must be equal

2x -4 = 1x +4

let's solve for x and that put it into either of the 2 equations.

2x -4 = 1x +4

subtract 1x on both sides

x -4 = 4

add 4 on both sides

x = 8

substitute x for its value in 2x -4 = 1x +4

(this way we double check BD in two expressions at once. the equation should come out true, meaning same value for BD in each expression. both sides should be equal).

2*8 -4 = 1*8 +4

12 = 12

seems true

BD is safely 12
