6%
to find the percentage you divide 10.80$ by 180$ and get 0.06
0.06 is 6% in decimal form
therefore there was 6% sales tax (sales tax is usually 6-8% so this makes sense anyway)
This is pretty weird: ax+ b > c is equivalent to ax + b > 0, for instance. c might always be chosen as zero, or b, or any value!
280x <= 348.76, or -280x + 348.76 >= 0,
so a = -280, b = 348.76 and c = 0 is one solution
x = 5
<u>explanation</u>
70 + 23x - 5 + 110 + 14x = 360
first you group the like terms
23x + 14x + 70 - 5 + 110 = 360
then combine the like terms
<u>23x + 14x</u> <u>70 - 5 + 110</u>
37x + 175 = 360
subtract 175 from both sides
175 - 175 = 0 360 - 175 = 185
to get
37x = 185
divide both sides by 37
37x/37 = 0 185/37= 5
which gives you
x = 5
In mathematics, the word 'of' always means multiplication, so to find out what 15% of $10.00 is, all we need to do is multiply the percentage by the dollar amount we are reducing.
In order to do this, we must first convert the percentage into a decimal. To do this, we can either divide the percentage by 100, or (my personal shortcut) just shift the decimal point over two places to the left.
15% = 0.15
So now, we can multiply.
0.15 * 10 = 1.5
which is our answer.
15% of $10.00 is $1.50.
Hope that helped! =)
Is it really <span>x2 − 2x because that will not work.
